¿Tiempo libre por vacaciones?

Posted by egray on

¿Tiempo libre por vacaciones? Muchos de nosotros compartiremos bondad, abrazaremos a nuestros seres queridos y crearemos recuerdos duraderos. ¡Esta es una época emocionante del año para los niños y hay muchas maneras de incluir la literatura en la DIVERSIÓN!

Pasar tiempo juntos a menudo puede incluir lectura y narración de cuentos. Trate de encontrar oportunidades durante las vacaciones de invierno para leer juntos. Visite su biblioteca pública local para obtener libros sobre los días festivos que celebre. Nuestra biblioteca tiene una gran selección de libros. Consulte libros sobre los días festivos que se celebran en todo el mundo.

Aquí hay otras actividades de literatura temprana que su familia puede realizar durante las vacaciones de invierno.

  • Elabora una lista de palabras festivas “comunes”.
  • Haga un libro familiar: recopile fotografías familiares para crear su propio libro.
  • Consigue tu linterna, almohada y manta. Lea sus libros bajo las sábanas.
  • Crea un calendario de cuántos libros has leído durante las vacaciones de invierno.
  • Diviértete con crayones, lápices y papel. Utilice papel borrador y crayones gruesos, lápices y bolígrafos para divertirse garabateando y garabateando. ¡Esto es genial para las habilidades motoras finas! Pida a los niños que:
    • Haz un dibujo tuyo y de ellos.
    • Escribe lo que quieren comer.
    • Sienta curiosidad por lo que dibujan: ¡pídales que le muestren más!
  • Juegue juegos del abecedario con juguetes que tenga en casa.
    • Nombra la primera letra de cada juguete y escríbela en una tarjeta.
    • Elija una tarjeta con una letra y pídale a su hijo que le traiga juguetes que comiencen con esa letra.
  • Cantar la canción ABC mientras pasas de una actividad a la siguiente:
    • ¡Cambia las palabras, sé tonto, diviértete!
    • Esperando a que le sirvan la cena.
    • Lavarse las manos o cambiarse de ropa.
    • Limpiar juguetes
    • Subir al coche

Home Literacy Fun for the Winter Break

Posted by egray on

Time off for the holidays?  Many of us will be sharing kindness, embracing our loved ones, and making lasting memories. This is an exciting time of the year for children and there are lots of ways to include literacy into the FUN!

Spending time together can often include reading and storytelling. Try to find opportunities during the winter break to read together.  Visit your local public library for books on holidays you celebrate. Our library has a big selection of books. Check out books on holidays that are celebrated around the world.

Here are other early literacy activities your family can do over the winter break.

  • Come up with a list of “common” holiday words.
  • Get your flashlight, pillow, and blanket. Read your books under the covers.
  • Create a calendar of how many books you have read during the winter break.
  • Have fun with crayons, pens, and paper. Use scratch paper and thick crayons, pencils, and pens for fun doodling and scribbling time. This is great for fine motor skills! Ask children to:
    • Draw a picture of you and them
    • Write what they want to eat
    • Be curious about what they draw – ask them to show you more!
  • Play alphabet games with toys you have at home.
    • Name the first letter of each toy and write it on a card.
    • Pick a letter card and have your child bring you toys that start with that letter.
  • Singing the ABC song while you move from one activity to the next:
    • Change the words, be silly, have fun!
    • Waiting for dinner to be served
    • Washing hands or changing clothes
    • Cleaning up toys
    • Getting in the car
  • Make a family book: collect family pictures to create your own book.
