Helping Your Child Learn at Home

One of the questions I get from parents of my students is "What can I do to support my child's learning at school?"  They may ask this because their child is struggling in a subject, because they need acceleration opportunities, or because they will be missing school for illness, vacation or family emergencies.




This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.  

Here are a few fun learning activities for kids you can do at home:

1. Read. Read. Read some more.

The number one thing I tell parents to have their child do if they are going to be absent for any reason is to read.


Studies have shown time and time again, that students who read more become better readers and students!  If you are looking for some book suggestions for 3rd-5th graders, you can find some great ones here.

2. Play Games

I have found in the classroom that the more I have my students play games to learn, the more they love learning!  You can play just about any traditional board game to practice social skills such as turn taking and cooperation, but my students also love playing academic games like the ones below.








You can also just have your child throw a pair of dice to practice a variety of skills from basic math facts (rolling two dice) or long division (using multiple dice). 

3. Provide Daily Spiral Review Practice

One of the reasons why students fall behind when they miss school, is because they miss concepts that may or may not ever be introduced or practiced again.  I like to give my students spiral review practice throughout the year so that not only will the students who are absent will not miss instruction, but also, so that ALL students will have repeated opportunities to practice skills throughout the year.

I use these workbooks in my class as daily homework.  You can also purchase them to use at home with your child as well. If your child is behind, you may want to order the grade level one year below as well.  If your child needs acceleration, get a grade level ahead.








4. Provide Practice For Essential Skills

When students know essential skills such as math facts, letter sounds, spelling, etc. it makes it so much easier for them to learn new skills in class.  

I encourage my parents to practice math facts with their students using games like the ones above or with color by number math fact worksheets.  My students LOVE these!


I have these available for most of the holidays of the year on Teachers pay Teachers or Amazon.




Bonus FREEBIE

You can grab an addition and multiplication sample of my Unicorn math facts sets free here.


The full unicorn math facts sets are listed below:


There are also a lot of great apps on cell phones to practice facts as well!

Practice spelling using the things around you.  Ask your child to spell microwave, refrigerator, cell phone, etc.  As they are spelling focus on the sounds they hear in each word.  Are their any other words that use those patterns?  For example, what other words have a ph that make the "f" sound they hear in phone.  They might say, "photograph,  nephew, or dolphin."

When your child asks you how to spell a word, don't just tell them, but see what sounds they can figure out on their own.

5. Write!

When I was a child, I loved carrying around notebooks and writing to my heart's content!  Many of my students do too, but many really struggle with writing. One way to encourage those students to write more is by keeping a journal that you and your child each write notes to each other.  Start with smaller notes and gradually increase the length of your own responses to your child.  You will see theirs grow as well.

Another way to get them writing is to ask them to write a story about their favorite tv show or video game.  My reluctant writers really love writing about Minecraft or Pokemon!

You could also write interactive stories with your child with each of you taking turns writing sentences for the same story.

Some of my other Teacher friends have shared some ideas for learning at home as well!  Head on over to read their ideas!

Things We Love Giveaway Feb. 14, 2020




This Giveaway is Over!  Please visit our Giveaway page to enter our current giveaway.   Sign up HERE to be alerted about all of our future giveaways!


We had such a blast sharing the things we love last year in honor of Valentine's Day, so we decided to do it again! 

Some of my blogging buddies and I have gotten together to give away teaching supplies that we LOVE!  

Check out all of our favorites and scroll down to enter to win ALL of them!

This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love.  




Mr. Sketch Markers are my absolute favorite for making anchor charts!  I love the bright colors - and the fact that they smell good doesn't hurt either.  My students also love when I use them to grade their papers!  I buy them on Amazon using Subscribe and Save to save money!


Flair pens are another favorite of mine for grading purposes.  I let students use them to revise their writing as well, because they love writing with them, so they always want to add details!


I do not know how I would live without my laminators.  Yes, that is plural! I have one at home and one at school and it is so convenient!


Even though I love my laminators, there are times when I need something quick and easy.  I love these dry erase pockets for being able to quickly re-use worksheets.  My students get extra practice, and I save time at the copier.


And speaking of dry erase, these are the absolute best dry erase markers out there!  My school buys a cheaper version, so I always stock up on my own, because they last so much longer! Again, I buy these on Amazon using Subscribe and Save.


Something about color makes everything better!  From boring worksheets to letters home, Astrobrights paper makes everything a little more fun!


Just like I don't like to compromise on my dry erase markers, I also don't like to compromise on the pencils we use in class.  Ticonderoga pencils are by far the best.  They sharpen so much easier than any of the others and they hold a point longer.


And last but not least, no teacher favorites list would be complete without Teachers pay Teachers! If you win this giveaway, you will also receive a $50 TpT gift card to spend however you like!




So, onto the giveaway...




GIVEAWAY DETAILS:  

Prize: Things We LOVE prize pack including: Mr. Sketch Markers, Flair Markers, Personal Laminator, Dry Erase Pockets, Dry Erase Markers, Astrobrights Paper, Ticonderoga Pencils, and a $50 Teachers pay Teachers gift card.

Giveaway Organized by: Kelly Malloy (An Apple for the Teacher)




Rules: Use the Rafflecopter to enter. Giveaway ends 2/21/20 and is open worldwide.
