Post the finished Summer tree on a wall below the Winter Tree (at 6:00) adding pictures around it that depict summer. Add the arrow moving from spring to summer. Also add names or pictures of people whose birthday are in each season. With the Four Seasons Wheel finished, add the final arrow from fall to winter. Discuss how it is a cycle and one season rolls into the next one.• Letters:
Week 20 focuses on the lowercase "c" characters g and q. Start by creating the characters using play dough snakes or pipe cleaners for the bubbles and move to writing the characters on the Lowercase "c" Characters worksheet to show the progression of the letters and numbers. Be sure to say the Letter Formation Chant as the child creates each character.
