Kindergarten, week 7, day 2

New sound: h says /h/

1. Say the sound /h/ together, the sound at the start of hat, hen and hop. Keep it short and crisp, without an "uh" after it.
2. Show big H and small h. Trace each with a finger, then write a row of each.
3. Sort toys or pictures into two piles: g words and h words.

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

Flat or solid?

1. Flat shapes are drawn on paper; solid shapes can be picked up.
2. Hold a ball beside a drawn circle and a block beside a drawn square. What is the same? What is different?

Where does the sun go?

1. Use a lamp as the sun and a ball as Earth. Put a sticker on the ball for your home.
2. Turn the ball slowly: the sticker goes into the light (day) and into the dark (night).

Read-aloud: The Moon's Night Off

1. Read “The Moon's Night Off” aloud, with your child beside you where they can see the pictures.
2. Stop halfway and ask: what do you think will happen next?
