Ideas for fun and learning at home:
- Read books together and talk about them- ideas for questions include: who is in the story, how is that character feeling, what is the problem in this story, what happened first/then/next/finally, does this story remind you of anything?
- Read a favorite book and act it out together (we have started this with fairy tales and they love it)
- Playing rhyming games to make pairs of rhyming words…see how silly the words can be
- Count groups of items in your home- socks are great when you need a laundry helper!
- Look for patterns in things around you- stripes on a blanket or shirt
- Play board games
- Play outside the weather is nice.
- Create your own stories- there is a blank journal to let your child draw pictures from their time off- you can write the words or let them try or just have fun drawing pictures.
- Play make believe
- Let your child help you cook breakfast or dinner and let them clean up afterwards
- Practice letters/sight words with chalk or paint
- Most importantly try to HAVE FUN
