Letter of the Week – Letter U

Day 1

1. Find u stickers and put on U (She’s basically over this activity.  So, I have discontinued it.  I think maybe it was too easy, but if I made it harder, it was too hard. 🙂 )
2. Color and assemble Letter U Book
3. Go to library and get u books
4. Put out U words (umbrella…I highly recommend using masking or painting tape so nothing is ruined when  you pull it off)
5. Starfall Computer Activity
6. Video: Olive and the Rhyme Rescue Crew

Day 2

1. Fill in U Outline and u Outline with: she chose to draw ukuleles and umbrellas (other ideas: utensils (plastic), uniorns, u’s, u-boats, underwater scene)
2. Upside down drawing (tape paper under her table and let her draw)
3. Video: Sesame Street and the Letter U

Day 3

1. U Toss — horseshoes

Day 5

1. Gather up any toys (animals are especially great for this) that start with the letter. I also strung up something to eat under. (We had my parents over, that’s why it was a little fancier than usual. 🙂 )
   
   Create a centerpiece and display the items. We found “ugly” things and put something upside down.
   
2. U Dinner
   Appetizers: cashews and  umbrella fruity drink – cut pineapple slices in half to make it U-shaped (last minute trip to the store did not produce umbrellas for drink, so I got little cupcake liners and put them on a toothpick)
   Soup: Udon Noodle Soup (I used these, but both were too spicy for me! My husband said they weren’t spicy at all.  So…)
   Dinner: U-Shaped meatloaf patties, green beans placed in a u-shape and elbows with olive oil and dried tomatoes.
   Dessert: I can’t remember! I should’ve done this earlier!  Oops! As my mom said, it must have been “unmemorable!” Ba-dump-bump 😉
3. Other options: ugli fruit, unleavened bread, uncooked food, upside down cake, eat under the table
4. Bible Story: Uriah, Uzziah
