NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, MAY 25TH-MEMORIAL DAY. PLEASE TAKE THAT DAY OFF OF SCHOOL TO RELAX!This is our final week of new instruction. I am very proud of how hard everyone has worked! Please plan to check out the site next week to see the fun activities planned to finish out the school year!
This Week's Theme: Animal Homes
The letter & sound /y/ + /z/
Below are learning opportunities and links separated out for each subject area if you want to keep the learning going at home. Please note: some of the handwriting, literacy and math activities are in included in the 4th & 5th preschool distance learning packets I provided. Please reach out to me if you don't have these packets. I will do my best to help you get it!
These are ideas and suggestions and I recommend picking a few activities each school day and only spending a few minutes on each activity. You don't have to do everything listed on the site every day.
HANDWRITING
Practice tracing/writing your first name. Extension: trace/write your last name.

Calendar: Look at a May calendar and discuss it with your kiddo (I've linked one below). Some things you can talk about are: the date, day(s) of the week and count up to the # that corresponds with the date.
