I will use this platform to share ideas/activities for your little ones at home. This will help them both inside and out of the classroom. Everyone is busy with their things, so I will make it easy by sharing everything here in one spot! This way, you know exactly where to look when you need inspiration for those at-home activities. These activities will be created based on the state standards used in the classroom.

Feel free to share your feedback or any questions you may have! I hope this helps your little ones at home!

Activities for simple addition and subtraction:

This activity focuses on using concrete objects for addition and subtraction problems that total six or fewer.

Using items around the house (preferably things your child is interested in), you can create addition/subtraction problems. For example, take 3 of their toys, and ask them to bring you 1 more. Then, ask "If we started with 3 toys, you added 2 more, how many do we have all together?" This can be repeated by changing the numbers, items, and operations used. I've demonstrated this simple math in the classroom by using the kids to show the quantity, and they enjoyed the interactive side!

Activities for social studies:

This activity covers awareness of culture and other characteristics of groups of people.

Once a month, pick one culture to focus on. Your kids can learn about new cultures by visiting friends' homes with different cultures or watching informational videos on YouTube. One way to understand is to do things that culture does. Baking or cooking a dish from a different culture is the perfect way to immerse your child and yourself in their every day life. I have linked one video about India's culture as an example.

Activity for reading:

This activity works on comprehending stories and information from books and other print materials.

My favorite way to make reading comprehension fun is a read-aloud! You can either read a book out loud to your child or follow someone reading the book on YouTube. The read-alouds on YouTube are so much fun because they usually add sound effects to make it entertaining. To promote comprehension, tell your child beforehand to pay attention to the characters and key details of the story. Have them reenact the story afterward to test their understanding.

To find read-alouds on YouTube, type the book's title in the search bar with "read-aloud" behind it. There are usually a few options to choose from.

Do this as frequently as possible with your child! It is proven that the more they are exposed to print, the easier it will be to comprehend text/recognize print.

Group work for creative thinking and expression:

This activity focuses on creative thinking and expression.

Have a few of your child's friends over to role-play different scenarios.

One popular scenario involves playing cashier and shopper. Help your child set up the items he or she wants to sell in the store. Let them decide what to sell to promote creativity and self-confidence. This will be "their store."

Other items needed:

Play money or pretend coins

A small basket or bag for shopping

A pretend cash register or a simple "checkout" area (a table or box can work)

Labels or price tags to stick on the food items

Paper and crayons for making shopping lists

Improves skills like:

Language Development: Encourages vocabulary related to food, shopping, and numbers. Children can also practice using polite phrases like “please” and “thank you.”

Social Skills: Taking turns, negotiating roles, and interacting cooperatively during the game.
