Home Learning Recipes

Dear Readers,

This is a good home learning activity. Now that all of the holidays have passed. You probably are wondering what to do with the cookie cutters you used during the holidays.

Well let them eat Shapes – Use the cookie cutters you used to bake the Christmas cookies (rectangles, triangles, squares, circles, alphabets) Cut slices of bread using the cookie cutters. Make at least 2 of each shape. Have your youngster to choose a pair of similar shapes, then put peanut and jam on the first piece and place the second piece on top to make a sandwich. This is a snack plus a game to match the shapes.

Project Help Parents Beware!

Dear Readers,

How did you put your project together? This was the question that one student asked after the oral presentation in class. I don’t know, my mom did everything, was the response from the child.

Parents beware. Let your child use their talents and imagination when it comes to any project that is assigned as homework. The child will probably have to present the project in front of his/her classmates and you want them to be able to explain the details of the project.

Dear Readers,

Everywhere you look, there can be a fun learning activity for your child. Letters are everywhere even hidden.

Try this activity, this activity builds reading observation skills. Letters are everywhere, have your child look for letters in the newspaper, cereal boxes, cans of food and household supplies(non-toxic) Have your child circle all the A’s, B’s, C’s through Z. Write the letters on an index card and put them in a paper bag, have your child pull the letter out of the bag and this is the letter your child will have to look for.
