Letter A Week

August 27th, 2012 by Aubri

Last week I began our daily lessons. My plan is to use the alphabet to teach something different each day.

This week our lessons for A:

Virtue (not really one but it worked) and Vocabulary word – Abundant

Bible Verse: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

Saint: St. Augustine, coloring page HERE. Since Augustine wrote some pretty famous works, our activity for this day was to write a book about Jesus.

Cooking Lesson or Snack: Apple Strudel Muffins

Reading: Angelina and Alice, A Day on the Farm

We didn’t get to the rest of my lesson plan this week which was an Instrument, Composer and the Artist but we had fun with what we did get to.
