Week 1: All About Me!

Goals

• I know and can write my full name.
• I know my birthday and age.
• I am aware of my appearance.
• I can identify my preferences and favorite things.

Activity 1: Activity Sheet 1

Help your child write his/her name: first, middle, and last and then all together. Repeat with the other blanks on this sheet (you can choose to have him write his birthday and age in words or numbers). If you choose, you could have him write this on different paper with lines that match your chosen writing program. You can also have him write his name several times on a separate sheet for practice.

Activity 2: Activity sheet 2

Have your child look in the mirror and identify hair color and eye color. Compare and contrast physical features with those of parents, siblings, and friends. Discuss how we are all different and unique and that is a GOOD thing. Keep all observations positive. Then have your child draw a picture of herself on the activity sheet.

Consider cutting out the drawing like a paper doll (you may want to mount it on cardstock or thin cardboard for durability) and sending it to friends and family in different locations. Have them take pictures of the paper doll in notable locations and send you the pictures while sending the doll on to another friend or family member. Keep these pictures to look at and discuss throughout this course.

Activity 3: Activity Sheet 3

Help your child fill in all the blanks about his favorite things. These can be filled in with words and/or pictures. You could also have him write them on another sheet with lines that match your writing program.
