Introduce/Review the theme words for the week:

Show the child the word while you say it.
Explain that the word starts with the letter B and help your child spell the

the back and move on.

Read the letter B poem allowed, following along
with your finger on the paper/poster: “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep”

Give the child an object that there are two of
and ask the child to tell you how many items there are. Help them count the
objects.
Monday (Language Arts Emphasis):
·
Give the child a tracing or coloring page for
the letter B. You can find books of these at the dollar store or Target. There
are also many resources online. If you don’t have a tracing/coloring page for
them. Just draw the letter B (upper and lower case) and help them trace it or
draw it on their own.

·
Read the child a book that has a lot of the
letter B in it. I always just go to my local library’s website and search for
children’s books that have titles starting with the letter B. Or I search for
books about the theme words. Any B book will do.

Ask the child to find the letter B in the title
