Day 1

Goals: Learn the letter H. Be able to recognize it on the paper. Be able to say at least one thing that starts with the letter H.

Color sheets: Capital Letter "H", Lowercase "h", Hh is for Heart, Hh is for Horse, Hippos

Craft: Hippo Toilet Paper Roll Craft
Directions: Print out template.  Color/paint, cut out, and glue to toilet paper roll. 

Song: H says "huh" (same tune.  See this post and watch video for melody.)

Shapes:  Squares (search and find)

Directions:  Help your child trace the square/rectangle (or if they are old enough let them trace it) and color it.  Take a walk with your child with you camera and have you child take pictures of things in the shape of a square.  If your child is anything like mine they will LOVE being able to take the pictures and who doesn't like a finding game?

Day 2
Goals: Recall the sound "H" makes. Find "H" on papers.

Color Sheets: Sesame Street "H", Hh is for Hippo, Hedgehogs, Horse

Tracing Skills Sheet: Diagonal Lines
These will be repeats for a little bit.  Kids need to do the same movemement over and over again to build the skills needed to write.

Computer Skills: Starfall "H", Bembo's Zoo (choose the letter H)


Game:  Hopscotch
There are a couple of ways to play this, but basically you draw your board and then toss an object onto one of the squares.  The square that it lands on you skip.  To play this with younger kids, have them call out the number the thrown object lands on.  It will help reinforce numbers recognition as well as play.  

Snack/Lunch: Hot dog!
