Language Arts & Literacy/Readiness Skills:

• Your child is continuing to learn color words. Ask your child to use color words to describe objects in your home.

• Read a book with your child, and then share ideas about it. Ask, “What part did you like?” and also see if your child can give you a reason why.

Math:

• Have your child find objects in your home that are different sizes, shapes, colors. When they find the object make sure they say the name ("triangle"), size ("big"/"small"), and color ("blue"/"red"). See if they can name at least 3 things about the object.
• Review coins by looking through piggy banks and change purses. Take a group of pennies. Have your child sort piles of pennies into more/less/same.
