Hi there! Although Acorn’s preschool and pre-k programs will be opening for essential workers, I realize there are still many students who will be home for the next couple of weeks. For this reason, I still wanted to provide some at home activities that you can do with your child.

Remind app – Included in the activities/homework packet you will find information on how to sign up for the Remind app. The Remind app is a great way to stay connected to your child’s teacher and communicate important information about the class.

Reading chart – We strongly encourage reading to your child every day for at least 20 minutes. Included with the activities/homework packet you will find a reading chart that you may print and fill out. Each day has 6 boxes, we ask that you color or put a sticker on the box that shows how many minutes you read to your child on that day. Example, if you read to your child for a total of 30 minutes on Wednesday, you will put a sticker or color the “30 min” box for Wednesday.
If you do not have a printer at home, you may create your own reading chart with your child, or simply write down the books that you read with a note of how many minutes you read to your child. **Send pictures of your child’s reading log/pictures of your child reading books to Miss Tasha via the Remind app for a special surprise when we return to school!
“Children are made leaders on the laps of their parents” – Emilie Buchwald
Listening response sheet – In the activities/homework packet you will also find a “listening response” sheet. Simply print out the sheet and have your child pick one of the books that you read to them from their reading chart. Help your child answer the two questions, and then encourage them to draw a picture in the given box showing what their favorite part of the book was.
If you do not have a printer, simply answer the questions and have your child draw their picture on a blank sheet of paper.**Send pictures of your child’s completed listening response sheet to Miss Tasha via the Remind app for a special surprise when we return to school!
Finger paint name tracing – A fun way to get your child to practice recognizing their name is through finger paint tracing! Simply write their name on a piece of paper, give them a small amount of paint, and allow them to use their pointer finger to trace the letters in their name with dots from their finger. If you do not have paint, try using other materials such as stickers, markers, or highlighters. Send a picture of your child trying this activity to Miss Tasha via Remind for a special surprise when we return. You may also bring this activity into class when we return to share with other students.
Cleaning up – One of our big focuses within our classroom has been cleaning up after ourselves. We encourage you to continue this lesson at home with your child. Send a picture to Miss Tasha via Remind of your child cleaning up after themselves (or helping others to clean up) for a special surprise when we return.
Recycling project – We have been learning all about nature and springtime as well as keeping our Earth clean and well taken care of. Take the time to discuss recycling with your child and show them examples of how items can be reused for different purposes. We encourage you to create a recycle sculpture with your child by gathering recycled materials such as egg cartons, milk/juice cartons, empty cardboard boxes, newspapers, etc and work with your child to create something new with them. The sculpture can be something that can now be used for something else such as a basket or container to hold things or it can be something silly and fun such as a robot or just a fun sculpture to look at. Bring your child’s sculpture into class or send Miss Tasha pictures of the project via Remind for a special surprise when we return. Click on the link below for some ideas on how to get started:

Sink or float nature experiment – A fun and easy way to incorporate science into our nature theme is to try a sink or float nature experiment! Simply collect a variety of nature items with your child such as leaves, sticks, rocks, dirt, grass, sand, bark, etc. Then fill a bucket/tub with water and one at a time add the items into the water and observe which ones sink and which ones float. Have your child guess or hypothesize first before putting the items in. Send pictures of your child doing this experiment to Miss Tasha through Remind or on our Facebook group page to share your findings!
Click the link below for some ideas on how to execute this experiment as well as other ways to have fun with it!
Painting with mud! – We LOVE to get messy in the classroom through super fun and engaging sensory activities. If you’re feeling up to the messy adventure, try putting some mud into a bucket or bin and allow your child to play and feel with their hands as they would with playdough. You could also give them a paintbrush, a small cup of mud, and a paper and see what beautiful masterpieces they create! Be sure to share your experience with this unique activity through Remind or our Facebook group page.
I’ve provided a couple more pictures below of some fun nature related activities that we planned to do in the classroom that you can do with your child at home!

Weather color and match – Included in your packet is a weather matching sheet to print and complete with your child. Take this opportunity to discuss weather, what we wear during different types of weather, and what different types of weather look like.
Living vs Non–living – This week we will be looking at living and non–living things and explaining what that means. Included in your packet, you will find two different activities that you can do with your child at home. The first activity is taking your child on a nature walk and then drawing pictures in each column of living and non–living things that you see, (ex. Cars, houses, roads, trees, birds, bugs, etc).
The second activity is a color, cut, and paste sorting activity. Have your child cut out each picture and glue onto the “is it alive?” chart. If you do not have child size scissors, simply have your child color only the living pictures. If you do not have a printer at home, simply create your own pictures/charts to have your child complete.
Sensory play – As I‘ve mentioned before, we love to get messy in the classroom and explore with all of our senses! Sensory play is one of the easiest and most fun ways to get your child smiling and learning all at the same time. Below are some links to some super fun sensory activities to do with your child, be creative, be silly, have fun!

https://www.raisingdragons.com/sensory–walk–ages–2/
Letters and shapes – One of the ways we get our students to start recognizing shapes and letters is through shape walks! In the classroom, we print out shapes and letters, cut them each out and glue each one onto a popsicle stick. Then, the students each pick one shape or letter and walk around the school to find the one they picked.
You can do this in the home as well by simply drawing shapes and letters, cut them out, and tape around the house. Then draw a letter or shape for your child to hold and have them walk around the house to find all of their shape/letter.
As always, please be sure to send pictures of your students participating in their activities either on remind or the Facebook group page!
