Kindergarten, week 3, day 2

New sound: i says /i/

1. Say the short sound /i/ together, the sound at the start of itch, in and inch. Vowels also say their name (the long sound); this week is the short one.
2. Show big I and small i. Trace each with a finger, then write a row of each.
3. Sort toys or pictures into two piles: p words and i words.

• Letter wheel A to Zteach.peabody.kids/wheel/letters
• Copywork maker: print a line to copyteach.peabody.kids/homeschool/aids/copywork

Writing 3, 4 and 5

1. Trace 3, 4 and 5 with a finger on the table, then write them on paper.
2. Beside each number, draw that many circles.

• Number words strip (printable)teach.peabody.kids/printables/desk-and-door/number-words-strip

Shadows

1. Shine a flashlight at a wall and make hand shadows: a bird, a dog, a rabbit.
2. What makes a shadow? Something that blocks the light.

Read-aloud: I See a Boy

1. Read “I See a Boy” aloud, with your child beside you where they can see the pictures.
2. Stop halfway and ask: what do you think will happen next?
