Clean out your closet or chest of drawers. Sorting, classifying and organizing.

Do a family jigsaw puzzle. Put a small table up and let everyone work on it when they want to or can. When it is finished you can frame it. Family Memories
The children can help with the yard work. They can rake and they can pull weeds. Nothing is more fun than playing in the dirt or jumping in a big leaf pile.
Bake a batch of cookies together. Math and science in the kitchen!
Write words and math problems with sidewalk chalk in the driveway or patio. You know it will rain soon anyway.
Go outside and take family photos. When inside go through old family photos or albums together. This can start great question and answer sessions.
March 23-27
Take advantage of eating 3 meals a day with your child/children. Let them plan the menu and make a menu for the family to read. They can list the foods and draw pictures. They can set the table. They can help you prepare the meals. Let them do the measuring and anything else they can safely do. Turn off the television and all devices and have a family meal with great conversation. The children can help clean up after each meal. Let the children draw about what they ate and what they liked or didn't using descriptive words. Keep these and they will have a mealtime book at the end of all this.
Plant seeds like flowers, herbs, and/or microgreens in paper cups or egg cartons. The children can measure the potting soil and plant the seeds. Put them in a sunny spot and the children can watch them and water them everyday. When the weather allows you can transplant them outside and the children will feel acomplishment and satisfaction. They can also journal this just like a scientist.
Play board games and card games. It is things like these that make wonderful childhood memories.
Parents do not get stressed out. When you feel overwhelmed, go outside or in another room and take a time-out. We are going to be okay!

Precious Pandas and Parents,
Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Linda miss seeing your smiling faces everyday. The most important thing right now is to stay healthy and safe. Please listen to and follow the advice of our leaders and medical professionals.
While at home remember to do something educational everyday. Reread the BAR stories that your child has been bringing home. If you need copies of these stories please email me and I will send them to you. Practice counting to 100. Practice adding and subtracting. This can be done using household objects. You can also google most any skill and there will be a lesson, usually more, on u-tube. If you have any questions or you need anything please email me and I will try to answer and/or help.
Love,
Mrs. Ford
