Sink or Float

Sink or Float Extension Activities

Dear Parents,

This week we are working on the core words “up” and “down”. You can model these words as well as encourage your students to use them in a variety of activities. This may include, blowing up some balloons, pushing them “up” into the air, and watching them as they go “down”. You can also blow bubbles “up” into the air and watch them pop as they go “down”.

Below are books, videos, and additional ideas to incorporate and model the “up” and “down” concepts. Encourage your child to participate by saying or imitating “up” and “down” but do not expect them to say it initially. Modeling it for them will be just fine. You are providing a model for them to do this as they develop literacy and language skills!

Please look at the resources below as well as this document for more resources.
