Things to do at Home this Month to reinforce our themes:
- Look for our words of the week when reading a story, cut out pictures beginning with the letters of the week.
- Play “I Spy” with items beginning with the letter of the week, or find things around your home that begin with the letter of the week.
- Look at a United States map. See if your child can guess which state the presidents we learned about came from.
- Go to your local library and explore books about the different ancient cultures and read them together.
