Fun activities to do at home:
Math Activities to do with your child at home
Make a story problem
- Give your child a number sentence, 13 - ? = 10
- Have your mathematician tell you a story that matches the number sentence.
Play " Guess My Number"
- What number is equal to 1 ten and 23 ones?
- I am thinking of an even number. It is greater than 17 and less than 19? What number am I thinking?
- I am thinking of a number? It has 2 tens and 3 ones. What number am I thinking?
Practice counting to 120 by ones (forwards and backwards) with your child.
Practice counting to 120 by fives and tens with your child.
READING - The Raz Kids app is available to all learners (virtual and face to face). If your child has extra time at night this is a great way to increase reading skills! Even 15 minutes will help increase vocabulary, increase fluency, and increase comprehension!
Practice reading the snap words. Remember, your child should be able to read all of the snap words in a "snap".
- Dream Box - Please make sure your child is on Dream Box at least 3 times a week for 15 minutes. :-)
- Virtual learners -- if you would like to check out books from the TCE library, please click on Mrs. Mancuso's link below to learn how: https://www.loom.com/share/3e99db6ca13c438a8b891ceb10298987
- Please ask your child if they have working headphones. Many learners have broken their headphones or the headphones do not fit them correctly. We use these every day so it's good to invest in a good pair of headphones. If your child needs a new pair, please send them to school.
- Please make sure you put your child's fully charged Ipad and charger in their backpack each day. The Ipad battery should be 100%.
- We have library on Mondays. Please make sure to send your library books back to school on Monday so your child can check out some new books.
