• Make up your own AB pattern. This is the pattern that we are working on during our Calendar time for the month of August.

• Practice counting objects around the house. Have them point or touch each object as they count. Practice counting from 1-30 but continue to challenge your child to count more! Here is a number song from 1-20 that students love to sing in class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be4j6lJpFTQ. If your child is comfortable counting by 1s, have them start grouping items in groups of 10 and count by tens all the way up to 100!
  

• Always take the time to read books with your child.
