Teach. Play. Love.: Letter G + Halloween Activities

We squeezed in another letter last week before we left for Nashville for the weekend. We got home Monday night, so this week, we're just going to do some fun Halloween activities. I'll share what we did last week and show you what I have planned for this week. I wanted to share BEFORE Halloween in case you wanted to use any of these this week, even though we haven't done any of them yet!

Last week...

Day 1:

Bible Story/Memory Verse
Calendar/Weather

Sang "Days of the Week", "Macarena Months" and another one of Dr. Jean's Nursery Rhyme songs-I forget which one.

"Bigger" page in workbook (from Dollar Tree) + had Rowin put several sets of items in order from smallest to biggest

Reviewed A-F, introduced G
Letter Maze

Letter Basket

Day 2:

Bible Story/Memory Verse
Calendar/Weather
"Smaller" page in workbook

Reviewed letters A-G

Block Letter

Traced with finger first using the following prompt:"Around the curve, STOP! Cross the finish line."
Filled with paper clips

Writing-followed the same Handwriting Without Tears sequence as last week

I wrote a G on the chalkboard and he erased it with small, wet piece of paper towel
Next, he erased it again (following directly over the G I had written) with a dry paper towel
He traced over the "invisible" G with his finger.
Finally, he wrote his own G.
He was getting kinda crabby, so after that we called it quits for the day and skipped lowercase g and his writing workbook. :)
If you did do lowercase g, you could use this verbal prompt, "Around, bump the middle, past the bottom, curve!"

Day 3:
