Author of the month: Karma Wilson

Focus for the week ~ Letter Ll

*L is for Ladybug. Jesus wants us to be like ladybugs: good friends to people, gentle, kind, and helpful just like He was.

Phonics & Handwriting: Letter Ll - words that begin with Ll

Journal: Drawings of Ll words - Love

Math: Coin poem; Writing numbers; Sorting and identifying the sorting rule

Reinforcement ideas for home:

1. Talk about items that start with the letter Ll

2. Review Ll Bible verse and practice reading Ll book

3. Play "I Spy" with things that start with Ll

4. Review "big line + little line" (capital L) and "start at the top + down" (lowercase l)
