Time really does go by quickly, and before you know it, you child will be starting kindergarten! Our goal is to make sure that your child is as well prepared as possible so that he or she can be a confident and eager learner. Let’s make the next few months really count! Do you remember from UPSTART training that the average child who used the program 4,000 minutes placed at the beginning of first grade in reading skills? Let’s make that our goal for this new year! We know you can do it, and we are here to help make it possible!
Creative Writing Activity
We would like to do another exercise with Andy’s Adventure, the book on the UPSTSART website’s Kids’ Corner we discussed last week. Ask your child if he or she can remember all of Andy’s adventures and all the people or things Andy pretended to be while playing in the attic (athlete, acrobat, astronaut, actor, alligator). Write each adventure as it is named on a large piece of paper. Then ask your child who or what he or she would like to pretend to be. Add any additional adventures to the list. Items don’t necessarily need to begin with A.
When you are done writing your list, have your child draw a picture of an adventure he or she would like to have and then label the picture by referring to the words on the list.
