Learn at Home activities for today
Does it Change?
Provide an assortment of materials for your child to try to mix together such as oil and vinegar and flour and water. Invite him/her to predict what will happen when they combine the materials. Once they mix materials, ask them to reflect on their predictions and what occurs. Do the materials change? How?
Transform This:
Provide your child with various objects such as recycled materials and challenge them to select one and transform it into something new. Allow them to use an assortment of art materials such as recycled materials, collage materials, markers, paint, glue, etc. to transform the object they select. Talk with them about what the original item was and what they have transformed it into as well as how they transformed the object. When finished, they can write about how they transformed the object.
Continued Weekly Activity
Now and Later
Invite your child to reflect on the things they can do now and things they would like to do in the future. Fold a piece of paper in half, title one side “Now” and the other “Later.” Talk with your child about the things they can do now and things they are looking forward to doing when they are older. Write your child’s responses on the paper or invite them to do their own writing; help them pay special attention to the sounds they hear in the words.
