Ideas:
• Review all spatial activities

• For the past four weeks, your child has been writing the individual capital letters in their name.  If her/she is ready, use the same method and write the child's name on a horizontal piece of paper using the yellow line and green and red dots as a guide. Have your child follow the yellow lines.
 

• Put various magnetic refrigerator letters or numbers into a small bag or basket.  Have you child draw a number or letter and tell you the name of the number or letter and the sound the letter creates.  You may even have the child give you a word that starts with that sound.

• Using shallow cups, write a number on the side of each cup.  Have your child fill each cup with the correct number using such items as Cheerios, M&M’s, buttons, coins, etc.

• Shape Scramble
This activity works great with several children or can be tweaked for one child.  Scatter several shapes around the room.  Have the children sit in the middle of the room.  Explain that when you say "scramble" they are to get up and walk around the room; when you say "circle" the children are to come and sit in the middle of the room again.  As they walk around the room, you will say the name of a shape.  They are to find that shape and stand by it. 

• Games:  Play Hi Ho Cherry-O, Candy Land, Go Fish, Stomp 1-2-3 etc.

• Head to Starfall.com to play a Groundhog activity. 

• Do your child’s favorite activities from the previous weeks

• Fine Motor Skills:
Write "My Family" on the bottom of a blank piece of paper.  Have your child draw his/her family.  Your child will be doing this activity periodically throughout the curriculum.  Write the date on the back of the picture and save the picture to compare each time.  The pictures should become more detailed with time.  

• Gross Motor Skill:
March to music or a drum
