Week 22 - PEER 2.0

This Week

Before you begin, use post-it notes or small sheets of paper to write labels for 10 objects in your home. Make sure some of the names begin with the same first letter. Stick the labels on the objects.
Walk around your home reading the names on the labels. Encourage your child to say the word, identify the starting letter, and say the sound of the starting letter.
Together with your child, collect the labels and group them by the first letters in the objects’ names. (for example: "table" and "toaster")
For the words that don't have any first letter matches, see if your child can find another item in your home that starts with that letter.

Put 10 small pieces of food (like cereal) on a plate and ask your child to count them.
Ask: "If we take away 3 pieces, how many will be left?" After your child answers, ask them to take away 3 snacks (optional: they can eat the snacks they take away!)
Ask your child to check their answer by counting the snacks left on the plate.
Repeat (start with an amount 1-10 and taking away different amounts).

BRING BACK

Use watercolor paints or washable colored ink pads for this activity.
Help your child dip a finger into the watercolor paint or press their finger on the ink pad, then help them press their finger onto paper.
Repeat, and encourage your child to make many fingerprints to make a design.
Give your child a pencil, crayons, or markers to add to their fingerprint design.
