I can draw a picture.

I can label my picture.

I can try to sound out words I don’t know how to spell and I can use my sight words.

I can read my story and talk about my picture to an adult.

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.

Write letters, numbers and sight words on pieces of paper and have your child sort them into piles of letters, numbers, and words. Have students sort lego, or candy into different color piles. Make a pattern using kitchen utensils, socks or other objects in your home. Remember to let an adult know the core (the part that repeats) of your pattern.
