Hello, families!
I hope that everyone had a happy Easter! This week, we will be taking a break from our OWL centers to catch up and review. Please see below for center ideas! Self Portraits: Encourage students to look in a mirror and draw a picture of themselves. Name Writing: Write student's name with a yellow marker. Have them trace or 'shadow write' over the marker to practice. Then, encourage them to try on their own underneath. Alphabet Games: Review and practice uppercase letters in a fun way! Some game ideas below. -Letter Moves: Write uppercase letters on pieces of paper and hang them around the house. Direct children to each letter with a movement ("Jump to the A. Skip to the F. Crawl to the G") -Hidden Letters: Write out the alphabet on a large piece of paper. Use toy letters (foam, magnet, etc.) to mix up and hide in a bag or a sensory bin. Children will sift through the find a letter, name the letter, and then match it by placing it on top of the corresponding letter on the piece of paper. -Hungry Bear: You will need toy letters (or letters written on small piece of paper) and a toy animal. Scatter the letters around the bear. Take turns being the bear; when it is your turn, growl in your best bear voice "I am hungry for the letter _" and have your child select the correct letter to feed to the bear. The more dramatic, the funnier they find it! Number Matching: Review and practice numbers 1-10! Some game ideas below. -The Measured Mom Roll & Cover Game: Take turns rolling a dotted die, counting the dots, and matching it to the correct number on the worksheet. First person to cover all their numbers is the winner! https://www.themeasuredmom.com/20-free-fun-math-games-preschool-kindergarten-seasonal-roll-cover/ -Flip & Count: Write numbers 1-10 on index cards. Have your child flip over the cards one at a time, name the number, and then count out the correct amount of small tokens to match (little toys, jelly beans, legos). When they are done, have them recount to check their work. Which one has more? Which has the most? -Spring Carrot Count: Using a large piece of paper, draw a bunch of upside down orange triangles (these will be the carrots). Have your child roll a die and tell you the number. Then, have them draw the correct number of green "carrot leaves" on top of each carrot. As always, please share pictures, questions, or thoughts with me! Best, ~Ms. Kristen
