 Hello parents and guardians,

     I hope all is well. Here are some optional activities to do at home in case we are off this week. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or comments. We miss you and hope to see you soon. 

Sincerely,

Tuesday: Reading Group 


Emphasize and sound out each letter with your student.


Afterwards, talk about the words that begin with Zz and list it out. 
Have your child use different medium to write/create the letter Zz (i.e chalk, whiteboard, water with paintbrush or watercolor, crayons, pencil, playdoh, legos etc)

Challenge: Have your student spell it out phonetically and use their sound out power. 

Activity: Create a Zoo using popsicle sticks and zoo animals. Alternatively, use other household items to create. Use your imagination :).
