Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to give the parents ideas and exercises to do with their children at home to support their learning process.

Some of the suggestions were taken from the High Reach Program and others from the Student Support Service (JFK-Preschool), the videos from youtube and the pictures from google.


The activities are classified in areas: Math, Language, Social-emotional and Motor Skills.
I hope you will find these suggestions fun and useful.

Please feel free to add comments in English or Spanish.

Fine Motor Skills

These activities should be done as a game. They will help the children to develop their reading and writing development.


Important: When using a pencil, colors or crayons children should use the correct grip. The pencil should rest over the middle finger and it is held by the thumb and index finger. When working at table be sure that your child sits correctly, one hand holds the pencil and the other grasps the piece of paper or book.


When cutting, use scissors correctly: the thumb in the small hole, the index underneath and the middle and annular in the big one and remind the children that the thumb always goes to the ceiling.
