Day One Activities
Additional Hands On/Digital Activities
Idea 1: Put a thin layer of sand, flour, corn meal, salt or whatever is handy in the bottom of a cookie sheet or pan with low sides. Have your child use their finger to "write" their name, letters, shapes, sight words or numbers in the pan. Save whatever material you used in the pan in a plastic baggy and use it over and over.
Idea 2: Turn on the video app on the phone, computer or whatever device is handy. Have your child make a video of themselves "teaching" something they have learned recently in school.
