The Day I Lost My Superpowers

*Draw a picture of YOU as a SUPERHERO!

Don’t forget our 3 steps:

  1. Write your name.
  2. Draw your picture. 
  3. Label your picture.

CHALLENGE: Write a full sentence about your picture! 

MATH

Number Hop

(Parents prepare activity before starting! Grab paper and a marker and draw numbers 1-10, or 1-20. You can also draw shapes or letters if you choose!)
(See picture below for an idea of what to do.)

*Scatter the number cards around the floor. Call out a number and have your child jump to that card. 

*When they get there, they can count to that number! 

(Example: If you yell “FIVE!,” they jump to the number five card and yell out, “1-2-3-4-5!” If you do shapes, they can yell out how many SIDES the shape has.)

EXERCISE

Move Like the Avengers

*When you’re done, send me a photo! All photos will be shared on Friday so the students can see their friends in action:)
