Extra
If you are looking for extra activities, here are some ideas.
-Raz Kids A-Z (Robot). Feel free to do as many of these lessons as you want.
-i-Ready (Cube) You can now do math AND reading.
-Practice Sight Words Daily
-Practice Subtraction problems using numbers 0-10.
-Take a virtual field trip: https://adventuresinfamilyhood.com/20-virtual-field-trips-to-take-with-your-kids.html?fbclid=IwAR1Evg8gQmaO2cUGFSZe8LJtxBvVdLXXFUZvE_8tF_ZpUHU0l88Czv3rkpE
-Play a game (This is a big part of kids learning to play together, learn the importance of winning and losing, taking turns, etc.)
-Work on fine motor (play-doh, cutting, stringing beads, lacing cards, etc.)
These things might seem like play and many are, but we pick up things quicker through play rather than sitting and trying to retain. Make the sight words into a memory game, practice writing numbers with shaving cream, give your kid a number and they have to hop and count until they get to 100. Kids are motivated through play!
