1.  (Use items in your E-Day Bag). Draw a picture of your favorite part of today’s book in your Composition Book and dictate a sentence about it to your parent (who can write it next to your picture).  Allow children to mimic your writing, if interested.

2.  Matching ABC Beans

Place some foam letters (E-day bag) or uppercase magnetic letters in a muffin tin-one letter per spot.  Use a sharpie and print matching letters, but lowercase ones, on dry white beans.  Try to match uppercase to lowercase letters.

3.  Gross Motor

Move like a grasshopper and other animals in today’s book.  Try to make music  like a grasshopper does.

1.  Count as high as you can and identify the foam numerals from 1-10 in your E-Day Bag.

2.  Grasshopper Puzzle

If able, print the puzzle.  Child cuts it apart (fine motor) and sequences it in order while working the puzzle.

Use seeds or beans (or cereal/popcorn kernels…) and toilet tubes cut into sections and numbered 1-10.  Sequence the tubes in correct order. Count out the correct # of seeds for each tube, pointing to one seed at a time while counting it for each group.
