Happy Fitness Friday!!
Today's Activity: Spell Your Name Exercise!
Spell Your Name Exercises.( can be found in Daily Activity Folder) This is a fun letter recognition activity where your child will be able to recognize each letter in their name while also performing the movement/ action related to it. You can also use this exercise to spell out other words.
For example for my name Kaitlyn ; “K”hop on your right foot. “A” would be jump up and down 10 times etc...
Please provide feedback if your child was able to recognize ALL or certain letters in their names! Also if you spelt out any new words.
Rainbow Challenge:
I thought it would be fun to spread some cheer in our classroom and homes by participating in the “Rainbow Challenge!” Let’s brighten up each other’s day by posting on the classroom STREAM a picture of yourself with your rainbow creations, so all your friends can see! Afterwards, you can hang it up in your window to brighten up the day of others in your community.
Have a nice weekend!

Bring it on Thursday!Today's activity: How Many Steps to the Door?
Invite your child to guess how many steps they will need to take to get to a specific place such as a door. After they have made a prediction, invite them to walk to the specified place. Help count the steps as needed. Substitute another location such as a window or bathroom for the door. Parents try this as well and show your child the difference between your foot and theirs!
