Week 28 - PEER 2.0

This Week

Think of familiar 3-letter words with a vowel in the middle. Examples: cup, kid, top, nap, bus, pen, fox, get, cat, dog, etc.
Draw a rectangle and divide it into 3 boxes. Choose one of your 3-letter words. Write the first letter in the first box and last letter in the last box. Be sure to leave out the middle letter.
Say the word out loud, then sound out the first and last letter. Ask your child which letter is the missing one that makes the sound in the middle. You or your child can write the letter inside the middle box.
Repeat with more 3-letter words.

Invite your child to reach high and low while counting to 20.
Show your child how to reach high and low, first put both arms straight up in the air and reach up high and then bend down and reach for the floor, repeat that movement a few times.
Start with your arms at your side, count when your arms are up high and count when your arms are down low.
Example, arms up “one,” arms reaching to the floor “two,” arms up high “three,” arms reaching to the floor “four,” and repeat the movement again until you reach the number twenty.
Invite your child to lead the counting and have them count faster, slower or with a different voice.

BRING BACK

Help your child cut out different shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, etc.) out of differently colored paper.
Encourage your child to draw patterns on the shapes (like: stripes, dots, dashes, zig zags, etc.).
Ask them to arrange the shapes into an abstract self-portrait.
Have your child glue down the shapes to make their portrait. If they'd like, they can draw on more details to the picture after the glue has dried.
