Any time is a great time for learning! Kiddie Academy’s At-Home Activities are short, skill-based lessons that last no longer than 15 minutes. Perhaps there is time to do a taste test while preparing a meal for dinner or a quick hopscotch letter activity as your child plays outdoors. The At-Home activities are intended to be small lessons that can fit in seamlessly with your day, no matter what time of day it is! Respond to the interest of your child as well. If your child is really interested in an activity, extend the learning. If your child isn’t interested, move to a new activity or switch the time the learning occurs.

Children learn best through play! Learning can occur during all aspects of your child’s daily routines. Activities can be implemented while getting your child dressed for the day, during outdoor playtime, or even in the bathtub! Your child can learn valuable skills by looking out the window and checking the weather (physical science), building with blocks (thinking and reasoning) as well as helping prep dinner (following directions). Keep it simple and fun!

Don’t stress about creating the perfect environment for learning; learning can take place in all types of environments. Keep in mind the age of child(ren) and activities that your child(ren) have interests in. A couple of suggestion would be to create a quiet area (not a bedroom) that has books, pillow and other soft items for children to access on their own. Find a shelf that you can put items that your child(ren) can reach and engage in a child-led activity. Plan, if possible and change the items on the shelves to reflect daily activities.

Hi Families!
Join me as we read about a family of rabbits that grow their favorite vegetable. Carrots! In the book, Planting Seeds, author Nancy Elizabeth Wallace introduces young children to the joy of planting. Come follow along as the rabbit family shows us that both “people” and nature help plants grow.
To keep the conversation going, you may want to: Plant your favorite vegetables together with your child(ren), and watch them grow. Visit a Farmer’s market and talk about all the fruits and vegetables that you see. Go pick your favorite fruit! Whatever you do to bring the science and joy of planting into your child(ren)’s world, don’t forget to share some pictures with us on Facebook!!

With parental oversight, various technology tools such as tablets and computers, can be harnessed for learning and development. Guidance would be to have a healthy mix between passive activities, children working on a device, and those activities which involve parents and other family members. The activities we have provided are simple to implement and are engaging for children and family members as they interact together.

Being responsible means being dependable, keeping promises, and honoring your commitments. When one is responsible, one shows independence and diligence when carrying out tasks and making decisions.
Our Character Essentials theme for May was “We are responsible.” Children in our classrooms learn all about how responsibility shows independence and conscientiousness.
