Holiday Activities and Freebies!
The end of the school year is in sight and students are eager for summer break! If you’re looking for a way to make the most of the time you have left with your students, just look to your homework routine! In this post, I’m going to share some June homework for kindergarten that will help your students finish the year strong!
If your school year ends in June, you are likely wondering why you would keep your homework up and running until the very end of the school year. Here are just a few reasons why homework is so helpful for busy kindergarten classrooms in June:
With so many possible skills to review with homework, it can be difficult to narrow it down! Here are a few ideas of skills that are helpful to practice with homework activities.
There are many different number activities that you can add to your homework routine in order to help students sharpen their number sense skills.
For example, this activity gives students the chance to practice number identification, counting, and number formation. Students will look at a set of numbers, identify each, and then put them in the correct numerical order.
In this example, students will use their knowledge of numbers to decide which number is greater. Each lens of a set of sunglasses has a number. Students will identify the numbers and then decide which one is greater. They will color the rim of the sunglasses surrounding the larger number.
Students have worked hard to learn about addition and subtraction during the school year. You can incorporate some extra practice with these skills by choosing homework activities that give students plenty of repetition.
This bubble-themed activity is an example of how you can keep this repetition engaging for students. Students will solve the addition problems in each bubble and then color them according to the code. Students have so much fun with color-by-code activities that they don’t even notice they’re hard at work!
In addition to math skills, your students can also practice a variety of literacy skills during the homework routine. It’s a great idea to help students review phonological awareness skills before summer break. These foundational skills will be so helpful as they continue to build their literacy skills in first grade!
Students can put their rhyming skills to the test as they complete this homework activity with an ice cream twist! For each ice cream cone, students will color the two scoops that have rhyming pictures. They will love using different colors for each ice cream cone!
Homework activities can also give your students a chance to keep working on their fine motor skills as they practice literacy and math. This homework activity is a great example!
First, students will cut out all of the cards with marshmallow roasting sticks from the homework page. This is a fun way for them to practice their scissor skills! Each marshmallow has a letter on it, which they will match to the correct campfire by listening for the ending sound of each picture. Once the activity is completed, students can continue to practice their fine motor skills by coloring the pictures on the page.
If you’ve decided to end your homework routine before June, you can still use low-prep literacy and math homework activities during your daily routine at school! Here are a few examples:
