Tomorrow's Plan

Tuesday
Language Arts & Music (30 minutes)

Review the theme word flash cards.
Read (or memorize) the poem or rhyme chosen.
Read one of the stories(the same or different).
Sing the song you chose.
Listen to music of the composer of the week and show the flash card, if you made one.

Math (15 minutes)

Teach the math idea or activity listed this day.

Optional - Colors!

Teach the color listed. You should be able to find the color in a 64 or 96 pack of crayons.
Take an index card and color it the color listed.
Write the color word on the other side.
Show the flash card a few times each day for the rest of the week.

(When my second son was 3 he loved colors and learned to recognize the color and read the color word for almost 64 different colors. If your child loves color you can continue to review the colors all year.)
