 Ideas to help learn new words: build the work with playdoh, rainbow writing (print the word 5 times with different colored crayons), or print the letters and cut them out and practice building the word and mess it up and build it again.  

 Extra words: D-F sight words: day, down, into, looking, she, they, went, where, will, your, all, away, back, big, her, over, this, want, who, with, came, have, help, next, now, one, some, then, was, what.

Writing

Draw a picture and write 1 or 2 sentences about your Easter holiday or about something you did on the weekend with your family.

Or

Staple a few pages together and have them make a book about their Easter.  (We’ve done books in class and they love them.  They just work on a page a day.) 

 Don’t forget to sound out the words you do not know and put your spaces between the words and use your sight words to help!

Math

 Choose from some of the following suggestions:

Practice counting forward to 20 starting at 1, 7, and 15.

Practice counting backward from 10 to 1 and from 5 to 1.

Count and record how many cars drive by your house in 2 minutes. You can try this activity with 5 min., 10 min. etc.

Count how many times you can jump up and down or hop on 1 foot, in 1 minute.

Sort socks. Tell someone your sorting rule. (color, pattern, size, etc.)

Sort kitchen utensils into groups that are alike.

 Make a pattern using kitchen utensils, socks or other objects in your home. Tell someone the "Core" (the part that is repeating) of your pattern.

 Try some of these math games:
