Activity 1

Literacy (20 minutes)

Words their way- Letter Recognition 

Please print out the pages linked below. If you do not have access to a printer, you may copy these letters out and ask your child to sort them.

Beginning:

Today, we will be revisiting some of the letter’s you’ve learnt in class.  We will be looking at the letter L, K and O.  

Middle:

-Let us think of some words which begin with the letter L, K and O.  (Give your child some time to come up with words.)

You may:

• Suggest some words e.g. 
• /L/ for lion, lamb, light, leg and lettuce!
• /K/ for kangaroo, koala, king, kite (Please note, if they say any words which start with the letter C instead of K, it is ok at this stage in their development)
• /O/ for octopus, owl, orange, olive, ocean

-Ask them to identify each letter and cut the letters out on the lines. (First page)

-Ask them to paste the upper and lowercase letters under the correct column. (Page 2)

Extension-  On the back side of the paper, they may draw out pictures of objects starting with the letters L, K and O.  

End:

Give your child a 5 minute notice.  Ask them to clean up the paper scraps and put back the materials in their places.  Send a picture of their finished work to the teacher.

Activity 2 

Fine motor skills (10) minutes

Q-tip Finger Press  

Materials needed:  Q-tips and paint.  Q-tips can be substituted by using the eraser end of a pencil also.

Beginning:

Today, we will be creating an artwork using dots!  You have some pots of paint and Q-tips in front of you.  Use one Q-tip for each color (3-4 colors)  and think of what you would like to paint today.

Middle:

Once your child has decided what to paint, ask them to dip the Q-tips into the paint and get started. 

They may use one color, all the colors or even mix the colors of paint!  

You may ask them:

• Which colors have you decided to use?  If they mix the colors- ask them to predict the colors which will come out. 
• What happens if you press the Q-tip softly or strongly into the paint? Does it affect how much paint you can get on your Q-tip?  How does it affect your painting?
• Acknowledge their artwork and their choices 
• How can they make lines with their Q- tips.  (They may choose to draw dotted lines or use long strokes to make lines)                                                                                                      
• 
  

Extension: Ask your child to include pictures with letter O or objects from around the house.

End: Give your child a 5 minute notice for ending the activity.  Encourage them to clean up the materials they have used.
Would they like to send a picture of their artwork to the teacher to put up on the blog?

Activity 3

Math (5 minutes)

Q-tip Patterns

Materials needed: Q-tips (or the end of a pencil), paint (2-3 colors)  and 2-3 strips of white paper. 

We will continue using Q-tips for our work today in Math.  Take a paper strip. Using 2-3 colored paint, make a pattern based on colors.
Remember, a pattern is something that is repeated three times or more.You may want to acknowledge their pattern, saying out loud the colors. For example, “Yellow, blue, blue, yellow, blue, blue, yellow, blue, blue”

Extension:  Ask your child to use dots and straight lines to make a pattern (using one color paint).
