The daily suggested activities for your preschooler are listed below. These are all suggestions for you to have in one location; if you find, that you need additional resources for your child. Our key word is Flexible and that is very important when working with young children. If you are in need of other resources, please just contact me.
I will continue to send a morning email each school day with links to this page, Ms. Cosgrove's morning message, and the attendance form.
Please continue to email me your pictures. I love seeing your faces and all the fun you are having while we are apart!

Beach Ball Craft
Draw a circle in the middle of the plate. Divide the plate into equal parts. This is one is done into 6 parts. You could do 3 parts. Cut strips of colored construction paper. Have your child tear construction paper into small pieces. Glue pieces of torn construction paper into the plate so that each part is a different color. Finish off the beach ball craft by gluing a small white circle to the middle of the paper plate beach ball. This craft could be colored with markers, crayons or painted, too!
Beach Ball Numbers
The set up for this activity is super simple. Write number on a beach ball. Throw the ball to your child. Have them identify the number that their hands are covering. If need be, have a set of matching number cards and have your child match the number. Please encourage your child to name the number as well as hold up the same number of fingers.
Fruit Pizza Beach Ball
Use a sugar cookie or rice cake as your "ball". Spread whip cream or cream cheese to cover your "ball". Fill in your ball with a variety of fruit such as blueberries, strawberries, bananas, kiwi, etc. Use the fruit that works for your.. could be 3 types - could be 6... completely up to you to be create a refreshing summer treat!

Letter Review Weekly Activities
We have completed our weekly letters. The remaining weeks of the year will focus on reviewing and reinforcing letter recognition as well as initial sounds. The suggested activities are designed to be practiced throughout the week.
Letter Activities and Alphabet Songs
Letter Cups
Grab a set of plastic/paper cups and letter stickers. You may write the letters on the cups with a marker, too. The pictures are examples of various letter activities you may explore with your preschooler. Too many letters at once, work on a few at a time until you feel as if your child has mastered those letters and beginning sound. Select letters of your child's name. If your child has mastered their first name, start working on last name. Extend this activity with numbers. The possibilities are many....
Rainbow Name
Have your child write their name in pencil. You may need to assist your child. Have your child trace each letter using 1 color of the rainbow for each letter. Repeat with a 2nd, 3rd, etc colors.
Sensory Writing/Play dough/Object Letters
Write your name as well as other letters and numbers in shaving cream, rice, sand, or flour. Any substance will work to give your child that sensory input when writing letters.
Use play dough to form letters. You may write a letter on a piece of paper and have your child roll out play dough to cover the letter. Cover the letter with small objects such as buttons, beads, cereal, or macaroni.
Music/Movement

Call out and demonstrate some possible movements: Throw, Catch with one Hand, Catch with two Hands, Kick, Bounce, Slide with Your Foot, Push with Your Hands that your child may work on with a beach ball. Optional - create a game board like one shown in the picture.
