Week 3 Letter: S Theme: snakes Number: 3 Bible story: Adam and Eve Bible verse: "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness"  -Matthew 6:33 I forgot to hide the letter and number magnet at the beginning of the week but remembered on Wednesday and was still able to hide it in a couple different places.   Start There was a big letter S out of masking tape on the preschool floor this week.  We used this for gross motor skills at the beginning of our days.  The boys stomped, slithered, slid, skipped, slapped, shook, slammed, and slowly made their way along the tape.  Bible Day 1:  Moving on from creation is the story of the Garden of Eden.  We didn't take a ton of time for this story, just 1 day.    Activity: Make your own garden Day 2: We moved onto our main focus story, Snake in the Garden.   Activity: Sin Apple Science   Day 3: Read Snake in the Garden again this time talking mo...
