Hope you all got outside yesterday... the sunshine was fantastic! The weekend is looking great so maybe you will be able to find some of the insects we studied this week. Enjoy today's activities and the weekend.
Please note it is important to keep in mind your child's IEP goals. These skills may be addressed through the provided activities as well as the very natural everyday interactions such as daily routines and play. Play with your child as play is a child's work. All areas of development - cognitive, social/emotional, motor, and speech/language skills are achieved through everyday activities including play. It is through play that your child learns, grows, and will retain new skills and information.
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 attendance form.
Please continue to email me your pictures. I love seeing your faces!

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
Alphabet Name Letter Hunt
Have your child write their name on a piece of paper or index card. You may need to assist your child. Have your child look through books, magazines, and or newsprint to hunt for letters from their name. Let them check off each letter of their name on the paper or card. Extend the activity - find pictures or objects of items that begin with the sounds from the letters of their name. Find upper and lowercase letters. Write family members' names and repeat activity.
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.
Letter - Mystery Box
Find and place 5-7 items/pictures that begin with the a single letter. Have your child label each item/picture - talk about the item/picture - place items/pictures in box. Have your child recall the items that have been placed into the box. Repeat this activity daily with your child. Some items/pictures will be recalled easily - others may require a clue. Make this into a game with your child. This is an activity that we do during our circle time and was enjoyed by all.
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.
Letter Scavenger Hunt
Have your child search for items that begin with letter any single letter. Have your child name/label each item emphasizing the beginning sound of the letter
