This week we are going to try and combine some fun reading, math, art, and science together to learn about weather! We are going to finish up the alphabet this week, and move onto sight words next week. If your child is still working on letters, that is ok! Keep working and use the resources I gave you. Play matching games with the magnet letters, have them “go fishing” to find letters, etc. Use the workbook pages for practice, you know your child, have them work on what they need. I am here to help with ideas if you need it!
