Homeschool Heroes

Writing the letter Rr and finding things that begin with the letter r in our houses!

Letter of the Week

Capital R and lowercase r look different. Capital R is tall and has a circle on top, lowercase r is small and has a little curve.

Work Time

Turn off those screens and play with some toys, color, paint, anything you can think of!

Planning Time (5 minutes): Build your child’s ability to organize their time by having them make a “plan” with you about what they would like to play with. Children do this everyday with us at school. It helps children learn to organize their thoughts. Adults make plans all the time to organize their thoughts (shopping lists are made before going to the grocery store, to do lists are made to help plan your day etc..).

Kids will tell you what they are planning to do/want to play with/how they will use toys at home.

Work Time (45-60 minutes): During work time kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS. Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create.

Clean Up (about 15 minutes): Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing.

Recall Time (5 minutes): Build your child’s memory of events by having your child tell you what they did while they played (ask “tell me how you did that” or “what did you do next?”)

Assignment

1.Today we’re going to read about Little Red Riding Hood. Have you read or listened to this story before? It is one of my favorites! Let’s read it together here.

2.Now we’re going to make a map for little red riding hood! A map is a drawing or model to help people find their way around. A map can be flat and made out of paper, or three-dimensional like a model! Think about all the things she passed in the forest, what would you put on your map?

You can use paper, markers, colored pencils, glue, toys…anything you can think of to make your map! Make sure to label the important places on your map (ex. Little Red Riding Hoods house, Granny’s house, the woods).

Here are some examples:
