Activity of the Week June 8

Today's 2-minute activity

If you only have 2 minutes to spare, please consider trying the following:

Share with your child 2 special things about them. Share with your child 2 special things about yourself! Have your child share 2 special things about themselves and 2 special things about you. For example, maybe your child will love how fast they are at running and what a good helper they are when you ask them to tidy up their toys.

Our word this week is ME!

Cut two small pieces of paper and print 1 letter on each piece of paper (m/e). Or use magnetic letters if you have them.
Scramble up the letters and ask your child to move them around so that they spell the word "me". (note: "me" is a sight word - the "e" says its name)

Remember, God made me. There is no one else like me. I can do many things.

Tell someone in your family two special things about you.

Story Time

Listen to the story ''I Just Forgot" by Mercer Mayer. In this story, Little Critter finds it hard to remember to do his jobs. Just like him, we can sometimes forget to do our jobs, but we need to try our best to remember and show that we are responsible.
Parent Talk Tip: Pause the video throughout the read aloud to make comments about ‘being responsible/not responsible’. For example, you might say: “He remembered to brush his teeth. He was responsible, just like you!” or “Oops! He forgot to make his bed. He was not responsible!”
Use simple words to discuss what being responsible means. For example, you might say: “Being responsible means to do the right thing” “Being responsible means to take care of yourself, your chores, and people around you”.

Make connections

Create a chart with family responsibilities. Use drawings and labels to make the chart.
Talk about the responsibilities that each family member has at home. For example, you might say: “You are responsible for brushing your teeth all by yourself” “Your big sister is responsible for folding the laundry”
Use the chart to practice asking and answering questions: “Who has the most responsibilities in this family?”; “Who is responsible for doing the dishes?”
Throughout the day, bring your child’s responsible actions to his/her attention. For example, you might say: “You showed responsibility today. I did not need to ask you to put your toys away. You did it all by yourself”.

Let’s Say the Sounds We Hear In Words-June.mp4

Listening for Sounds

When we listen for the sounds we hear in words it makes it easy to write them.

Listen to the words in this slideshow and try to say all the sounds you hear in the word.

The middle sound is always the trickiest!

Have fun!
