We will be sending home weekly homework assignments every Monday and will periodically be sending home links from Little Treasures and Everyday Math. Here are some things you can also try. ~Encourage your child to write his/her name and help him/her identify the letters. Remember when writing to start all letters at the top. ~Read to your child and ask questions about what you've read. ~Have your child help you with chores, turning it into a matching/sorting activity. Ask him/her to match socks, or sort clothes by color. Have him/her help with the dishes and sort the cutlery into knives, forks, and spoons. ~Give your child toys to play with in the tub and estimate which ones will sink and which ones will float. ~Cook together! Have your child help with measuring, counting and mixing ingredients. ~Have your child help put away the groceries, asking him/her to count items as he/she puts things away. Then ask him/her questions like "How many boxes of cereal did I buy?". ~Make play dough together. Try this recipe and have your child help with making it. Play Dough
