Spizman, Robyn Freedman; Garber, Marianne Daniels
Linking home and school, this book presents over 100 activities for grades K-3 that utilize things at parents' fingertips which will enhance their children's learning. Each low-maintenance, high-interest activity in the book teaches a specific skill and integrates math, science, social studies, and language arts so that learning is purposeful and fun. Activities in the book involve word searching; learning the alphabet; reading aloud to others; improving critical thinking skills; paying attention to details; increasing sight vocabulary; encouraging visual perception; encouraging creative writing; encouraging awareness of neighborhood and surroundings; understanding the population of home and school; being a good citizen; thinking about the kinds of laws that should be made; making a family tree; making a map; shopping around the world; teaching children about newspapers; and encouraging awareness of the environment.
