Remember to encourage your child to "use their sounds" when writing. We want to encourage and praise all spelling attempts at this age. You can help by stretching our words when needed and allowing your child to identify the letter. You can use our ABC song to help with this as we have been using it all year as a reference. We really want to promote child writing even if it's not what we call "book spelling" (how words are spelled when we see them in books).

Here are some ideas to inspire coding at home. Create grid (use magnet toys, tape, chalk outside, post it notes or a deck of cards). Place a few obstacles on the grid. Decide where the start and end is. Write the code using arrows and numbers to navigate the grid.
