Word of the Week
Word of the Week
Cut three small pieces of paper and print the following letters on each piece of paper: "qu", "a", "ck".
Talk about how, sometimes, two letters go together to make one sound:
When "q" and "u" are together, they say "kw"
When "c" and "k" are together, they say "k"
Scramble up the letters and ask your child to move them around so that they spell the word "quack".

Outdoor Investigation
Over the next several weeks, as the weather begins to warm up, you'll start to see lots of different creatures outside. Each time you spot an animal (e.g., robin, spider, squirrel, dog, caterpillar, etc.) take a moment to think about whether that animal came from an egg or whether the animal was born alive.

In the KLP, we've talked about words that mean ONE (singular), and words that mean MANY (plural). The videos above talked about many different animals that lay eggs. The picture below shows some of the those animals, either as one (e.g., duck) or as many (e.g., ducks).
Directions: Read the following and help your child find the right picture.
"Look at the animals in the picture and listen to the word I say. I might say a word that means one or I might say a word that means many. Remember, words that mean many has a 's' sound at the end.
Can you find 'duck'? Can you find 'alligators'? Can you find 'turtles'? What else do you see?"

Practice with Location Words
In the KLP, we've been practising location words such as between, behind, in, on, in front, under, and beside.
Here's an activity that you can print and complete with your child to practice using these words.
Another option is to look at the screen together, read the possible options, and then point to the right answer.

Watch the video below to practice saying the sounds at the end of familiar words. Then, print off the activity sheet and fill in the missing sounds at the end of each word. (If you do not have a printer, simply point to each picture and ask your child what sound they hear at the end.)
