This Week's Theme: Plants

The letter & sound /v/

Below are learning opportunities and links separated out for each subject area if you want to keep the learning going at home.

These are ideas and suggestions and I recommend just 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.

The Home Journal and Letter, Number and Shape Tracing pages are in included in the 2nd preschool packet I provided.
