    Welcome to Pre-K! We are so excited to start the new school year together with you.
    Below are listed activities that your child can work on daily for extra practice outside of school.
     
    *writing their name
    *recognizing letters A to Z
    *reconize numbers 1 to 10 or 1 to 20
    *look for shapes and colors around the house
    *read a book and ask them where the front and back cover are, point to a picture, point to a word. Ask what the author does and what the illustrator does.
    *allow time for reading books together, crafts/art time, and pretend play 
    *if you have scissors, practice cutting skills. You can have your child cut out coupons from grocery store ads. 
    *practice zipping your coat or hoodie
    *practice tying your shoelaces 
    *physical exercise: go to YouTube and type in gonoodle. There are a bunch of free dances and exercises on this website. www.gonoodle.com is a free website if you would like to sign up. We use it daily in our classroom.
