Letter Hunt

Read with your child, once you are finished reading go on a letter hunt!

Review one letter and then see how many of that letter you can find on a page.

See if you can create fat, skinny, long, and short snakes.

Name Practice

Help your child introduce his/herself by first and last name with a strong voice.
Practice having them find their name in print. (This will help prepare them for the classroom as they must find their desk, materials, etc.)
Bonus: Have them practice writing their name.

Nature Walk

Make a nature walk checklist of 5 things that you want to find on your walk. Here is an example: squirrel, flower, tree, bird, etc.
Help your child draw a picture of each item on your checklist if they want to draw.
Go for a nature walk adventure and search for the items on the checklist.
Count how many of each item you see and mark it on your paper.
