Summer Packet
Summer Packet
June 25, 2020
There are many things that you can do with your child over the summer to prepare them for kindergarten this Fall. We are unsure of how “school” will look for the students, however we need to prepare them for learning.
Here is a list of links that you could use throughout the summer.
https://www.starfall.com/h/
https://pbskids.org/
https://www.abcya.com/
https://www.colorincolorado.org/
https://www.myon.com/index.html (School Name: NYC Reads Elementary, Username: nyc Password: read )
Other things that you can work on are;
Practicing writing name, first and last
Alphabet
Sounds of the letters
Environmental Print
Labeling the house so they see the words
Practice cutting on the line
Packing and unpacking
Tying shoe laces
Buttoning buttons
Some ways to practice letters is by doing Rainbow names, write the name on paper and have your child write over the letters with different colors, use shaving cream on the table and have them practice writing the letters in the shaving cream, chalk and chalk board, have them write the letters and then use a cotton ball to wet and erase what they
wrote. The kids will get used to writing on different surfaces, this is fun and they will learn the letters quickly.
Ask “Wh” questions – It is very important to read with your child nightly, please ask them questions after you read. You can ask questions like,
Who is in the story?
What happened in the story?
Where did the story take place?
Why did the character do that?
Have meaningful conversations with your children and enjoy the summer. We can’t wait to see the children in September to hear about all of their exciting summer adventures.
