Weekly Activities

Things to incorporate everyday!

Ways you can support skills being taught at school:

Talk Talk Talk- Provide an example for your children. Explain what you are doing. Describe what you see, the color, the shape, texture...etc.
Reading- allow them to create the story by looking at the pictures. They listen to you and pick up on the story line, wanting to retell the story in their own words.
- Encourage them to read, even though they tell you they can't. "Of course you can! You're a great reader."
Counting- You can count anything!!!
Writing- Children love to draw pictures of their experiences. Encourage them to tell you about their drawing and show them how to write the words that tell their story. "This is what it looks like when I write it. " What does it look like when you write it?"
- Make grocery list, write in shaving cream and in the sand with a stick. . . etc.
- Take paper and crayons with you on a hike.
Make Believe: Have fun and pretend to sail the sea like pirates. You'll have a blast!
