Encourage your child to look through the pages and identify letters.  When your child finds a letter, ask them what sound it makes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a fun Sesame Street video about the alphabet for extra review:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sesame Street: Sing the Alphabet Song! | Sesame Street Alphabet\" width=\"644\" height=\"362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/783EsrHchXA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Math Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, I encourage your child to practice seriation.  Seriation means to organize objects by size.  Seriation is important for early childhood development because it helps children observe and analyze objects&#8217; sizes and use their problem-solving skills to arrange them.  This can later be applied to numerical sizes (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.).  For more information about seriation in preschool, please see the following blog posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/siloampreschool.com\/2017\/03\/seriation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bright Beginnings Preschool<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/growthandgiggles.com\/blog\/entry\/math-for-kids-seriation\" target=\"_blank\">Growth and Giggles<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the directions for this ativity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Watch my video about seriation: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1XPtmc-mpACjEWadnCwUz31g7QNMc8Nt8\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\">CLICK HERE<\/a><\/li><li>Find items in your house your child can organize from tallest to shortest (examples: toys, rocks, coins, sticks, etc.).<\/li><li>Send pictures of your child&#8217;s seriation to me on Remind or email: thompsl@dearbornschools.org<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I encourage your child to engage in imaginary play for at least 60 minutes a day.
