G for Gift

If you are new to Read to Me & ABC, please start here.

Read to Me

The book of the week for Letter G is Ask Mr. Bear by Marjorie Flack. Don't miss out on emphasizing all the G words in this book- gift, goose, goat, galloped. 

Alphabet Art- Gift Wrap G

Supplies
G Pattern
wrapping paper scraps cut into squares and rectangles
glue

Glue, stick, and smile! If you have a high tolerance for glitter, you could also make a green or gold glitter G!

Lessons & Lapbook
Simon mastered his letters and sounds a few months ago, so we are no longer making the letter lapbooks. We will simply stick the letter art pages in his ABC binder to fill in the gaps. 

However, if we were making a lapbook, we would use the Ask Mr. Bear templates as well as some of the G mini-books. 

Let's Make a Memory ~ G is for Gift Wrap Match!

This is from a Preschool Activity Bag swap. Basically, you just make pairs of matching cards from wrapping paper scraps and clear contact paper. Turn them over and play memory!
