Books

Try to read at least one book every day (or more). One of our family favorites is Whose Hat is This? because of all the fun facts in the book.

Craft

For the letter C craft, write a letter (or make a drawing) and send it to a community helper you know. This might be a family member, or your local departments, but it’s really fun to send a letter and it helps them connect the community helpers to real people. It’s fun to incorporate normal life activities into our homeschool curriculum.
