Monday
Watch the “Welcome to Kindness Week!” video and enjoy Five Fun Facts about Kindness! Before starting, ask your child to listen closely for one fact during the video. Can they remember and share it afterward? Let’s see how well they listen!
Kindness All Day Long: Discuss times of the day when kindness can be shown. Help your child choose a way to show kindness during morning, noon, and night.
The WHY: This helps children see that they can be kind all day long and practice caring for others in simple ways.
Tuesday
Watch the “All About the Letter Aa” video. Invite your child to watch closely. Ask this question after watching, “What is one word beginning with the /a/ sound ?”
- Creative Letter Aa: Complete the “hands-on” letter Aa worksheet by choosing one of the four suggested creative activities or come up with your own unique idea.
- March Letters Find the letter A’s: Encourage your child to find and underline each letter “A” in the list of words. After underlining, ask them to count how many “A’s” they found. This activity builds letter recognition and counting skills in a fun, hands-on way! Hint: there are eight
Keep this printable below and slide it into a plastic sleeve. We’ll be using it each week this month!
Wednesday
Kindness Chain: Help your child think of kind acts they have done or received, write each one on a paper strip, and let them cut some strips on their own before linking them together to create a kindness chain.
The WHY: This activity helps your child notice and remember acts of kindness. It also encourages gratitude and reminds them that kindness helps us care for others and follow spiritual values of love and service.
- Memorization: Help your child learn “I Want to Be Kind” as either a poem or a song. Watch the video below to see Miss Annette teach it!
I Want to Be Kind
I want to be kind to everyone
For that is right, you see.
So I say to myself remember this,
Kindness begins with me!
The WHY: Memorizing songs helps build memory and confidence. It also helps children remember the message so they can think about being kind throughout their day.
Trace It, Then Make It!: Invite your child to trace along the dotted lines to form each shape, then encourage them to try drawing the same shape on their own without the guide.
The WHY: Tracing and drawing shapes helps strengthen your child’s finger muscles, builds early writing skills, and helps them recognize basic shapes.
Thursday
- Watch the “All About the Letter Aa” video, AGAIN. Invite your child to watch for a favorite thing beginning with A.
- Together We Learn: Work together with your child on the printable, guiding them through the activities as a team to make learning fun and engaging!
The WHY: This is a parent-guided activity, so your child can learn with your help, feel supported, and enjoy learning together.
- A is for Apple: Complete the A is for apple worksheet with your child. Let your child set the pace. Speed should not be a factor. Have your child circle their best one. The alphabet series is perfect for slipping into a protective sleeve, allowing for repeated practice and engagement.
PARENT NOTE: If the writing activity above feels too difficult for your child right now, try a finger-strengthening activity like the one below in BONUS CONTENT to help build the skills they need.
Friday
