Here are a few things students can do on a computer:

- Password: 123456

The Teach your Monster to Read app is currently free! If you have a phone or tablet and download it, use the starcode 4245232 and then use your child just has to type in their name.
I encourage students to continue writing, even if it is just practicing their letter and making sure they are forming them correctly. I have attached a picture how how each letter is formed below.
Student can also be writing sentences, here are a few writing prompts you can use. I usually require them to write 3 to 5 sentences. By the end of the year I am hoping they can comfortably write 7-10 sentences on a subject. I emphasize that every sentence has a person or object and that person or object does something. Essentially teaching subject and verb in layman's terms. We have also been working on puncuation and capitalization at the beginning of sentences.
Here are a few prompts:
- If you were a teacher for a day, what subject would you be most excited to teach?
- What makes you happy? What makes you mad? How can you calm down when you are mad?
- What is your favorite thing to do in the Spring? Why?
- Would you rather play in the snow or the rain? Why?
- What is your favorite thing you like to do with your family?
