How you can help at home:
- I highly encourage working on both fine motor and gross motor skills at home. There are hundreds of ways they can work on these skills while playing. Pinterest and even TikTok are fast and easy places to find ideas!
- When singing the alphabet, I encourage you to sing it to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb. We sing it this way because it helps the students slow down and ensures they are saying each letter. Especially letters L, M, N, O, P, that typically get skipped when singing it the traditional way.
Thank you for everything you do for your child and their learning! You are so valuable!
