Don’t be scared by the subject! There are still 44 days left this school year! But, we have come to the end of the Kindergarten literacy home activities! I have some first grade activities that would be appropriate to keep plugging ahead with that I will send home. Most of these activities are beginning of first grade/review of Kindergarten activities. The difference being that the first grade activities mention using letter “tiles” rather than the blue plastic letters you have been using. For the most part, substituting the letters you have will work just fine. In a few instances though, it may suggest you work on words that have, for example, 2 t’s…and you don’t have 2 t’s! You must decide for yourself if you would like to play the games and just skip the words that use any double letters, play the games and substitute letters you might have around the house (magnetic letters for the fridge, scrabble letters, etc.), or not play the games at all and send your blue letters back to school. It is up to you.
There are still a few more math games for K so keep your frogs for now even if you decide to send the letters back.
