17 days ago about the time we were told the “back to school” date had changed for the beginning of April to the beginning of May; I put some ideas together. These different ideas came together to form a make-shift lesson plan to do with my 4 yr. old son Ian. Among these ideas were….

• a letter of the day A-Z, turn this cutout letter into a word starting with that letter
• reading at least 2 chapters a day form our chosen chapter book
• a number of the day 1-20
• trace and write the number of the day
• Make flashcards with letters on one side and numbers on the other
• go over these flashcards twice a day
• Letter scavenger hunt – go through each room of your house and find two of that letter in each room.  The letter can be found in print form and an item like B for Batman
• reinforce the letter and number of the day with activity book pages

My sister-in-law Nicole makes and cuts out the letters of the alphabet for us.  Then I ask people for words or I look on Pinterest for ideas and examples.  Keeping in mind what supplies we have as well as my limited skills, we then chose a word.  This is our work in progress…..
