Here’s our brief outline of what I have planned for this week. ⁣⁣I’m sure we’ll deviate, buttt I thought it would be helpful to share a bit of a plan! ⁣⁣Printing- this is a review. I’ve noticed he’s still not printing his letters properly, so we’re reviewing again. I don’t spend a long of time printing though! Just a few minutes. ⁣⁣A lot of our activities will be from my spring activity pack- where there are math, literacy and science activities! ⁣⁣I’m a big believer in play- so I often set a timer for the writing/cutting and pasting activities. This way, he knows that he doesn’t have to sit for thaaaat long (he can sit longer if he wants), and setting a goal is always helpful!⁣⁣What do you have planned for this week?? ⁣⁣Let me know if this is helpful!! Always happy to share whatever I can! ⁣⁣ ... See MoreSee Less
