Each week students learn a Bible verse that corresponds with a letter of the alphabet. We learn the verse as a class and practice it each day before students say it aloud to their fellow classmates. We discuss how it applies to our lives, and the students really enjoy hiding God's Word in their hearts!

Fine Motor and Letter Practice for Home
At the beginning of the school year, Miss Amber Haffner presented a workshop on "Handwriting Without Tears." It was an excellent workshop full of great information! I have just posted the last ideas for building fine motor skills and practicing writing letters that I gleaned while at the workshop. I hope you have found the tips helpful this school year, and if you would like the complete list, please let me know! Enjoy!
*I will try to get new tips posted at least every two weeks!
Tips to build fine motor skills (movements of the hand necessary for handwriting):
-String popcorn, buttons, or beads to make necklaces.
-Let your child create a design on a piece of paper with a hole punch.
-Have your child lace cards.
-Do finger plays. You can find these at your library.
Tips to encourage letter practice:
-Trace a letter on your child's back and have him/her guess and write teh letter on a piece of paper. Take turns tracing letters on each other's back.
-Decorate a letter collage using glitter, puffy paint, and markers.
-Have your child write with icing tubes.
