Activities You Can Do At Home Together!Language Arts:
Please have your child practice his/her handwriting by writing his/her first name as often as possible. NEW! Work with the letter recognition and letter sounds of Oo, Aa, Dd, Tt, Cc, Mm, Gg, Ll and Hh. Feel free to work on other letters as well. Practice writng these letters too! Have your son/daughter begin blending the sounds of the letters together to create simple words such as c-a-t, d-o-g, d-o-t, m-a-t , etc. Practice rhyming with your child. Silly made up rhymes are ok BUT please practice pairs of real words that rhyme such as hat/cat, dog/log, me/be, coat/goat just to name a few examples. NEW!! To practice our sight words (Red Words) I have given you the full list for the school year.
 Feel Free To Work Ahead! Be sure to practice our classroom's sight words/Red Words each day! Use them in oral and written sentences. Talk about the words and find them in magazines, newspapers and stories you read together at home!
First grading period words were: I, me, my, like, a & the Second grading period words include: for, has, to, and, of, we, is, was, on, see, he, can, yes, no & am Third grading period words will be: his, go, here, she, by, do, from, put, how, it, is, in & you Fourth grading period words will be: saw, come, what, want, does, have, who, they & little Each Grading Period we have and continue to work on: Color Words: red, green, blue, yellow. orange, brown, white, black, pink and purple. Number Words: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Practicing the number words higher than ten (once your child has mastered the numbers 1 through 10) is a great idea! For a challenge (after your child has mastered the color and number words) your child could practice the words for the various shapes we have learned which include: circle, square, rectangle, triangle, diamond, star, heart and octagon Take time this week to review various ways to count. Count objects throughout your house. Count as high as you can with your child but focus the skill of counting objects with a one to one correspondence by showing that number with objects (the number four being represented with four blocks, five with pieces of candy, etc. )
Discuss the days of the week. Recall each day by discussing what day it is and what day was yesterday and what day will be tomorrow.
New! Practice identifying the shapes all around us. Have your child tell you about the number of sides and corners (points) each shape has. help them find and sort the shapes from around our house.
Social Studies: Discuss the different groups you and your family belong to. Help your child recall the import rules that need to be followed in various places that these groups spend time (church, a football game, school, family, etc.). Discuss the leaders and helpers in these groups as well (pastor, coach, mom and dad, teacher, principal, etc.)
Practice with your child his/her address including the city, state and zip code. Also, practice the phone number (including area code) that he/she would use to contact you.
Science:
New! Have your child identify the fives senses and the sense organ associated with that specific sense. Play a game by placing different textures items in a bag and have them try and guess the item by touch or do the same type of game using a blind fold and tasting or smelling different things. Go on a "seeing tour" of your neighborhood and take a clip board. Draw and write the things you see as you go on your walk together.
