Listen to a story

Listen to a story online or read by a family member. Talk about your favourite part of the story.

Draw a picture of your favourite part. Include the setting (where the story takes place) and characters (who is in the story) in your picture.


Creating Number Sets

Create a variety of number sets with objects found outside and inside your home. Start by giving your child a numeral (either say it or write it). Your child will go find the number of objects to match the numeral. For example, if you say 5, your child would make a group of 5 pinecones.

Have your child draw and label each of their number sets. Try to represent 1-10.
