For S week, Caleb had his heart on doing Spiderman-themed activities. Those were harder to find due to copyright issues. I found what I could and then supplemented with generic superhero activities as well.
First we did our do-a-dot, play-doh mat, and pattern blocks activity for the letter S:
I also found a fun "I Spy an S" worksheet online. Caleb stamped everything that began with the letter S!
We counted superheroes and practiced writing our numbers:
And we also did a magazine scavenger hunt and collage for the letter S.
We worked in the story of Samson as well, since while he wasn't a superhero, God gave him great strength and that made him do some pretty extraordinary things. I read Caleb the story out of his Bible, then we did a fun worksheet where we decoded a message by figuring out beginning sounds:
Though according to Scripture, Delilah didn't cut Samson's hair herself; she called in a man to do her dirty work. Oh well. :o) Caleb also glued yarn onto a face to signify Samson's hair.
Finally, we tried crayon-resist painting. I drew a spiderweb on a piece of white paper using a white crayon, then Caleb would paint over it. We also tried a couple more with shape designs. We didn't have watercolor paints at the time, so we tried it with a water and food coloring combo with mixed results.
We didn't make it to the library this week due to water heater issues (can't beat waking up to a flooded garage!), but overall it was fun!
