Activity 1

 My Clothes Today

1. Invite children to join you in front of the mirror.
2. Point out colors and patterns that you notice. Encourage them to name the type of clothes they are wearing. "I see that you are wearing a green dress today that has blue stripes. What kind of hat do you have on? That's right, it's a baseball cap."
3. Invite children to draw what they are wearing today. "You are wearing yellow pants. Can you draw a picture of yourself wearing yellow pants? What pattern do you see on your pants?"
4. After drawing, encourage the children to add words to their picture. Ask questions that prompt children to think about what they want to record. Talk about how the clothes you have on today are different than the clothes you would be wearing during the winter months.

Mi ropa hoy

1. Invite a los niños a unírsele delante del espejo.
2. Muestre a los niños el espejo y hable acerca de la ropa que llevan puesta hoy. Señale los colores y patrones que usted note. Anímelos a nombrar el tipo de ropa que llevan puesta. "Veo que estás usando hoy un vestido verde con rayas azules. ¿Qué tipo de gorra tienes hoy? Así es, se trata de una gorra de béisbol".
3. Invite a los niños a dibujar lo que están usando en la actualidad. Describa lo que ve, y haga preguntas indirectas que les ayuden a notar detalles en la ropa y los zapatos.
   "Estás usando pantalones amarillos. ¿Puedes hacer un dibujo de ti mismo con pantalones amarillos? ¿Qué patrón ves en tus pantalones?"
4. Después de dibujar, anime a los niños a añadir palabras a su ilustración. Haga preguntas indirectas que les ayuden a los niños a pensar en lo que quieren escribir.
   "¿Qué te gustaría escribir sobre lo que llevas puesto hoy?"
   "Estás usando la chaqueta de tu hermana. Podrías escribir sobre eso, si quieres".

Activity 1: Letter Treasure Hunt

Hide alphabet cards around the house (you can write letters on small pieces of paper). Have your child go find them! With each letter they find, have them say the letter and what sound it makes. For an extra challenge, see if they can come up with a word that starts with that letter. Have fun finding them all!

Activity 1: Inviting others to Play

First, teach your child that the word invite means to ask someone to play.

Inviting others to play is a good way to make friends.

 When children invite others to play, they:

• Use a friendly voice
• Ask, “Do you want to play with me?”

Play a game with your child to practice inviting others to play. Say: We’re going to play Telephone. We each have our own pretend phone. First I’m going to pretend to call you and invite you to play with me. Make a call on your pretend phone. Make a ringing sound. When your child answers his or her pretend phone, say: Hello, ! I am going to play a game. Would you like to play with me? Talk to each other on your pretend phones. Say good-bye and then have your child call you and invite you to play.

Activity 2: Umbrella Bean Bag Toss

Open an umbrella and place it upside down on the floor. Have your child stand a few feet back and practice throwing bean bags into the umbrella. If you don’t have bean bags, you can use anything soft and easy to hold (i.e. - small balls, rolls of toilet paper, etc.).

Activity 1:Number Line Hop 

Materials

Sidewalk Chalk

Cards (or small papers) with numbers 1-10 written on them

Begin by drawing a number line on the sidewalk with chalk.  Write all numbers 1-10 evenly spaced apart.  Have your child draw a number card.  Ask them to identify the number and then jump that many number of spaces on the number line.  

For an extra challenge, you could do this activity in the same way but using numbers 1-20.  

Activity 2: All About Me

Draw a picture of yourself (Remember the Mat Man Song to help you remember all the parts of your body to include!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec7J57YewxQ 

Next, add more details to your picture:

What is your favorite color? Draw something that color!

What is your favorite food? Draw your favorite food!

What is your favorite toy to play with?  Draw it!  

How old are you?  Can you write the number?

After you have added all the details, tell someone in your family all about what you drew!  Maybe you could call a family member that you don’t live with and tell them about your picture!
