Monday (Language Arts Emphasis):
·
Give the child a tracing or coloring page for
the letter K. 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 K (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 K 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 K. Or I search for
books about the theme words. Any K book will do.

Little Bear by Else Holmelund Minarik

Ask the child to find the letter K in the title
