Head Start Homework
May 25th, 2026 - May 31st, 2026
Use these activities to learn with your child every day!
Language & Literacy
My Alphabet Book
- Staple or clip together 27 blank sheets of paper to make a booklet.
- Write one capital and lowercase letter at the top of each page (like A a, B b, C c, etc.).
- Invite your child to draw something that starts with the letter on the page. Write the name of their drawing next to or under the picture (like “dinosaur” on the D d page).
- Over time, complete a picture for each letter. Read your alphabet book together once it’s complete!
Math
More or Less?
- Wherever you are (home, playground, bus, store, etc.), direct your child's attention to compare groups of objects. Try to find groups with 5 items or less.
- Ask your child which group has "less" and which group has "more." Start with groups that have a big difference between "less" and "more," so your child will not need to count.
- Once your child identifies "less" and "more" easily, increase the difficulty. Compare two groups that are closer in number, and count to check which has "more" and which has "less."
- Try the game in different locations as you move throughout your day.
Social Studies
Neighborhood Portrait
BRING BACK
- Take a walk or drive around your community with a piece of paper and drawing supplies.
- Ask your child to choose what part of their neighborhood they'd like to draw. Find a safe place to sit where they can observe and draw.
- Prompt your child to notice buildings, vehicles, street lights, traffic signs, and other important features of the place around you.
- Invite your child to make a drawing of all the important features of their neighborhood.
