McKendree Play 2 Learn

We are learning to point to pictures as we read.

• At home, read every day. Reading with your child is important in developing language, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Remember to point to the pictures as you read.

Writing

We are learning to draw, scribble, and write.

• At home, encourage your child to use crayons or other writing tools to draw pictures. Children can also use their fingers to write in shaving cream, salt/flour/sugar, or pudding.

Math

We are learning to make patterns.

• You can use materials at home to create patterns (example: socks and shoes, cereal of different colors, crackers of different shapes, crayons or markers).

Science

We are learning about parts of the body.

• At home, you can talk about body parts throughout your daily routines: getting dressed, brushing teeth, eating meals, combing hair, washing hands, and/or taking a bath.

Social Emotional Learning (SEL)

We are learning about the feeling: SAD

• At home, when your child is upset or sad, talk about the facial expressions and body actions and feelings: “You are crying. I think you are sad. What is making you feel sad?” You can also talk about times that you have felt sad and ways to handle it.

Music/Movement/Art

We are learning to move our bodies to music (rhythms/patterns)

• At home, you can make a musical pattern using your body – stomp, clap, stomp, clap, stomp, clap.

*** Home learning activities included are designed for families with children ages 0-5. However, young infants may not be able to perform these tasks. Parents are encouraged to complete the activities themselves with their infants close to them while talking about what they are doing and describing the activities as they do them. ***
