Little Learners at Home-August

Kick-off the school year with these fun activities for your little learner at home!

Activities this week, will not only educate your littles and get their creative minds flowing, they will help with dexterity for scissors, pencils, and control for coloring in the lines!

WEEK ONE: Going to School\ All About Me\ On the Farm\ “B”\ 1-18

Every morning, we start our day with the calendar. This calendar is great, because it gives you blank activity cards to create your own agenda! Reviewing the month each morning is a good way for littles to recognize what the numbers look like and practice counting to 30. It also holds space for feelings, weather, and the seasons.
