\/> We hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather and have had a fun and relaxing Mother\u2019s Day!\u00a0 Thank you for sharing pictures of the cards and gifts made with love by your children.\u00a0 They brought joy to us just as they did to you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>As you are choosing this week\u2019s activities to do with your children, please remember that learning in Kindergarten is not a \u201cone-time activity\u201d.\u00a0 Learning takes repetition, revisiting, and redoing activities over and over. \u00a0Please repeat, revisit and redo some activities your child has already enjoyed these past few weeks.\u00a0 In addition, this week, please observe \u201cwhere your child is at\u201d with their learning and what you might want to do next over the coming weeks to help them learn.\u00a0 Please do these activities for a few minutes each day, rather than a long chunk of time in one day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ask your child to write their name.\u00a0 Observe.\u00a0 Are they printing the letters properly?\u00a0 Are they using all capital letters or just for the first letter?\u00a0 By end of June, it would be nice if they printed their name using the Capital letter for the first letter and using lowercase letters for the rest.\u00a0 You may want to teach your child to write their last name as well.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ask your child to say the alphabet.\u00a0 Are there any letters they are confused with or not confident with?\u00a0 Practice those letters specifically.\u00a0 Can they identify the letters of the alphabet at random?\u00a0 Capitals and lowercase.\u00a0 If they are missing letters, practice those letters specifically, a little each day.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\"

href=\"https:\/\/www.starfall.com\/h\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Starfall<\/a> for a complete guide to letter names and letter sounds.\u00a0 Have your child practice the letters and letter sounds they are not confident with.\u00a0 If your child has access to a device, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.starfall.com\/h\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Starfall<\/a> daily.\u00a0 There are many literacy and numeracy activities to explore for all reading readiness and reading levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Count by 1s to 30. \u00a0Practice until it is easy for them.\u00a0 Ask them randomly, what comes after 11, after 23, after 29.\u00a0 Ask them what comes before 5, 9, 14, etc.\u00a0 Of course, you can work with higher numbers if your child can count to 100.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Count objects in your home.\u00a0 For example, you can ask your child to go and count all the pillows and tell you how many pillows there are.\u00a0 (other ideas:\u00a0 chairs, beds, tables, pots and pans, cutlery, sets of toys \u2013 cars, dolls, etc.) If you have small items at home like buttons, or blocks, or crayons, ask your child to count out 10 of them and put them on the table.\u00a0 Have them count them and arrange them in a line.\u00a0 Add 2 or 3 and ask your child how many there are now.\u00a0 Take away some and ask your child how many there are now.\u00a0 Observe your child\u2019s thinking by what they are doing.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Teach your child your cell phone number and your address.\u00a0 Practice each day until they have it memorized.\u00a0 If you think it is too hard, try again in a week or so.\u00a0 Practicing together once a day will help them learn.\u00a0 Please be patient.\u00a0 If your child already knows their phone number and address, practice having them write it down.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-490 size-full\"
