Weeks 1-4 are spent working on "staight-line letters". These are characters that are made with straight lines only.
Start by creating the letters with short and long popsicle stickers or legos and writing on yellow lines with green and red dots.
Use the Straight-Line Characters worksheet to show the progression of the letters and numbers. Say the same "saying" everytime the letter or number is made.
• Play "Simon Says" to coincide with the obedience theme.

The Berenstain Bears Go to Sunday School (Christianbook.com) or Amazon
