Tuesday’s are such special days in our classroom thanks to Ms. Dawn, our speech and language pathologist, along with Ms. Emily our favorite Occupational Therapist. When Ms. Emily and Ms. Dawn visit we get the chance too work on fun fine motor, sensory based activities. While using our core vocabulary to make choices and communicate. Check out Ms. Emily’s blog along with Ms. Dawn”s blog for some great activities to do at home with the kids!
In school, we practice number recognition, counting, and sorting. Below are some ideas of how you can work on these skills at home.
- Count snack foods! Example: If you are having Goldfish crackers for snack put a few in front of your child and count them out. Have your child point to each cracker and count along with you
- Count while folding laundry – How many shirts? How many socks?
- Go on a walk and look for numbers on mailboxes
- Read counting and number books – If you don’t have any at home check out the link below!
- Sing counting songs (5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, Five Green and Speckled Frogs, etc.)
- Build a block tower and count how many blocks you used
- Sort toy cars or legos by color
