All children should know that they are unique and to be proud of who they are. Celebrate the uniqueness of your children. Develop their own personality and character traits. They should be confident in their own uniqueness. It’s good to choose good people to be around you and let those who aren’t go. We can’t please everyone and be ourselves.

Letter U
God created each and every one to be a unique individual. No two people are exactly the same. You are special, maybe a little bit weird but that’s the beauty of being unique. Love being you.
The letter U is the twenty-first letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks us, under, and up when he’s asked for U words.
A long u sounds like U and a short u sounds like ua.
Activities and ideas:
- Underwater experiment. See what objects float on top and what sinks.
- Underground experiment. See what you can find under logs and rocks. Be careful to touch only what you can identify and know is safe to touch.
- Play Uno. (You can grab a set of card here.)

Words that start with U
Vocabulary words are a great place to start with your new reader. Open up the dictionary and look for some good U words. Learning a few easy words, such as spelling words or just sight words will aid in the reading process. It’s much easier to read if you know what you’re reading.
Here are a few of our favorites:
- Under
- Up
- Use
- Umbrella
- Us
- Urchin
- Upset

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
