Early Learning Ideas for Home
For the week of May 20th-27th
Things we can do Everyday:
These are activities that you may already be doing or that you can build off of and make them yours. See where it takes you…
- Read, read, read-read stories with your child or have your child read to you. Talk about the story throughout, have your child predict what will happen next.
- At family meal time, share your “High†and “Low†of the day or your “Sweet†and “Sour†(Best part/not so great part).
