U for Up!

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

Note: I can't find my U photos; I don't know if they went missing or what, but I've decided to go ahead and post without the pictures. I hope you find this useful. 

Read to Me

Our main book of the week was Great Day for Up by Dr. Seuss.

Alphabet Art- Up (arrows) for U

Supplies
U Pattern (I used the large capital U)
arrows cut out of fun foam
glue stick
crayons

Simon colored the letter U then he pasted the arrows so that they were pointing UP! 

Lessons & Lapbook
I used the U printables from the Alphabet Notebook page at Homeschool Share.  

Let's Make a Memory ~ Bat the Balloon
All you need for this activity is a few balloons (already inflated). All of your children can take part in this together. The goal is to keep the balloon UP as long as possible! My kids loved this simple "game" and played it for a long time. 

Book Basket
Umbrella by Taro Yashima
The Umbrella by Jan Brett
The Umbrella Day by Nancy Evans Cooney

Shopping List

  • fun foam
  • package of balloons
