Week 1 of Summer Break (Letters A and B, Numbers 1 and 2)


In the previous post, we discussed our Summer schedule. In that schedule, there was an hour in the morning for theme week activities and an hour in the afternoon. Here is what we plan on doing each week we are on summer break. We will be studying two letters a week, two numbers a week, reading a book, studying a Bible passage, and doing Occupational Therapy activities (for those of you that do not know, our oldest child has non-verbal Autism, so we were sent home some OT/school activities for her to complete over the summer so we do not regress as much over the Summer.) If there's an explanation or picture on Pinterest, the link is in the blog so make sure you check it out! I hope you'll join us!
