At Home Learning

There are so many ways to foster learning at home. Even just a few minutes each day can have a monumental impact. Having positive views, attitudes, and conversations about school will help develop your child's love of  learning. Remember, YOU are your child's first teacher! 

Some activities you can do at home are:

• READ, READ, READ! 

• Talk about your day and tell stories

• Sing songs

• Dramatic play (kitchen sets, dress up, pretend play, etc)

• Play word games (rhyming, beginning sounds, spelling, etc.)

• Play I-Spy (colors, letter sounds, shapes, number of objects, etc.)

• Play simple board games (Candy Land, Sorry, Trouble, Guess Who, Monopoly Jr, Clue Jr, Memory, etc.)

• Practice zipping/unzipping backpack and lunch boxes

• Practice opening snacks/drinks independently

• Practice putting on/taking off jackets independently

• Practice washing hands independently

• Cut and paste activities

• Play with playdoh, kinetic sand, sensory bins, etc.

• Educational apps and websites

Conversation starters to ask your child about their day: 

• What made you smile today?

• Who did you play with today?

• What center did you work at today?

• What did you like today? 

• What did you dislike today?

• Did you give/get any compliments today?

• Who did you sit with at lunch/snack?

• Did you do anything new or different today?

• Did you help anyone today?
