Math

The Foot Book

Left/Right: Use this book to practice left and right. Have your child practice by standing on one foot. Call out "left foot" and have them stand on their left foot. "Right foot", continue. Give them a few seconds between calling to place both feet back on the floor for a rest. Try to mix it up and get a little faster!

Measure strings of different lengths. Have your child put the strings in order from shortest to longest.

Dr. Seuss is on the loose,
And this how we know.
Cats, hats, eggs and ham,
Cats, hats, eggs and ham,
Cats, hats, eggs and ham,
We love his fun books so!
