Ideas and Tips from Ms. Fitzgerald
Some suggestions for Parent/Child Activites:
Read to your child EVERY DAY! After reading to your child, ask them to retell the story in his or her own words.
Practice cutting at home! Learning to hold and use a scissors is a very important school skill!!!!
Make some homemade Play-Dough together:
4 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
4 TBSP. of oil
Add water until the right consistency. Knead with flour. Add food coloring to water for colored play-dough. Add extracts like vanilla, or peppermint, or any other flavor you like for a scent-sa-tional sensory touch.
Say Nursery Rhymes with your child.
Sing together!
Read the environment...store signs, restaurant signs, road signs, toy labels, food labels, etc. Be positive and reinforce to your child that they already know how to read many words!
Play I Spy together!
The 6 pillars of Character are Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Caring, Citizenship, and Fairness. Discuss these traits at home and role play what it looks like to be a person of character.
