Today, Ms. Tammi suggested you go outside and find some leaves, rocks and sticks. Use these items to make a pattern.Twos, start with an ABAB pattern - rock, leaf, rock, leaf. Threes, start with ABAB, but see if your child can progress to ABCABC or ABBABB, etc. Fours, ABBABB then try ABBCABBC or something different.
After your child makes a pattern, challenge them by asking what comes next. Or remove something from the pattern and ask them to figure out what's missing.

Go to the preschool website and print out the All About Roots book. You'll also need crayons or markers, scissors.

Let your child cut the four pages in half. Save the blank half-page for something else.
Let your child color in the pictures on the last page and cut the pictures apart.
Staple the book together. Read the book with your child and encourage them to trace the words, first with their fingers and then with a crayon or pencil.
Glue the pictures where appropriate.
Read the book again. Encourage your child to share the book with others.
