Hi there friends! Welcome to Mrs. Pine's Kindergarten Class! Here are some things to talk about with your child and activities to do at home!
Ask your child...
...to write his/her name then point to each letter and say its name.
...to draw a picture of him/herself. Add color to the illustration.
...what book he/she wants to read with you. Borrow books from the public library to read together at home.
...to tell you something that rhymes with cat, then hop. Continue to play the rhyming game!
...to create a picture. Give him/her crayons, colored pencils, glue, scissors, paper, and magazines or circulars. Cut out pictures and glue them on paper.
...to do something for you. Give your child one-step directions to follow. Once your child can easily follow one-step directions, give him/her two-step directions.
...to make a pattern with shapes, colors, or pictures.
...to count by 1's. See how high he/she can go!
...some questions. Build his/her vocabulary with everyday conversation. Discuss your daily routines, interesting experiences, and feelings. Listen to what he/she says and gently correct when necessary.
...to show you how he/she can button, zip, or snap things.
...to count down the days until the first day of Kindergarten!
I'm looking forward to another exciting year in Kindergarten!
