Preschool Activity Calendar
January 2nd-5th
Winter
This is an optional activity calendar. If your child is interested then that is wonderful! Please encourage your child to try, by themselves. It’s not optional in Kindergarten. We are really working on writing our names.
If there is a concept you feel your child can do well, feel free to do something different with them and send to school instead. I am working with a wide range of students, work on what YOUR child needs.
January focus: White, Star, # 6-7, Humpty DumptyNursery rhyme
(PleaseALSO work on these things with your child)
Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday-Read a book with your child. Record on reading log
-Letter & Sound Search
Beginning sounds. Listen for the sound, write the letter Upper & Lowercase
Extension:
Think of other words that start with the same sound as those on the sheet / -Read a book with your child. Record on reading log.
- Color a Chick
Ask your child to color the chick by identifying the number. It would also be a great way to practice colors they may be struggling with

Have your child practice writing their name. It doesn’t have to be on the sheet I send home, any way will be fine.

Fill in the race game with items they are struggling with (letters, sounds, shapes, #’s, counting, etc.)use a dice to roll or make matching cards to draw from the pile
