Head Start Homework
This Week
Use these activities to learn with your child every day!
Language & Literacy
Grocery List Games
- Invite your child to help make your grocery list.
- Talk about the types of food you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. With your child, determine which ingredients you already have at home, and what you need to put on the list to buy.
- Write the items on your grocery list. If your child wants to help, write the first letter of a word and ask them to practice writing the letter. Or, they can draw a picture of the item!
- Take the list and your child grocery shopping. Ask your child to check off each item as you add it to the cart.
Math
Navigation Numbers
- As you go about your day, point out numbers that help you travel from place to place (like: bus or train numbers, building numbers, or street names).
- Ask your child what number(s) they see on the signs.
- Spend extra time talking about navigation numbers that are important to your child (in your address, the number of the bus they take to school, etc.)
Social Studies
Heritage Tree Leaf
BRING BACK
- Talk about your family:
- People in your family
- Traditions in your family
- Explain that you're going to make a tree leaf that represents your family's culture. Help your child gather pictures of people, places, and things you'd like to put on your leaf. Or, help your child draw pictures instead.
- Using the leaf print out provided by your teacher (or printed from this page), make your own Heritage Tree Leaf. Ask your child to cut out pictures and glue them onto the leaf.
- Label the pictures (children can help write labels too).
