~Playdough!~
Making playdough is a great opportunity to teach kids a variety of things. Students are leaning science, literacy, math, and working on their fine motor skills. After making the playdough, you can use the dough to make names, letters, numbers or shapes! Using playdough is also a great way to help students with sounding out 3 letter words! Simply write the word, in lower case (eg. c-a-t) and form a ball of playdough to represent each sound in the word. As your child sounds out each letter sound have them squish the dough with their finger! This will help them to develop letter sound fluency, and it's fun too!
Here is a variety of recipes you can use at home!

~Movement Break!~
Why We Use Body Breaks in Kindergarten:
In Kindergarten, movement is an essential part of learning. Young children are still developing their ability to focus and regulate their energy, and sitting still for long periods can be challenging. That’s where body breaks come in!
Body breaks are short, purposeful movement activities built into our day to help children reset their bodies and minds. Whether it’s a dance party, stretching, jumping jacks, or a quick walk, these breaks help students refocus, release excess energy, and return to learning feeling more calm and ready to engage.
Research shows that movement supports brain development, improves focus and behavior, and helps students manage their emotions. In our classroom, body breaks are a fun and effective way to support your child’s learning and well-being throughout the day.
