Literacy Activity

• Provide parents with a recipe; have them change the ingredients or the amounts in the recipe and share what they think they will create

Easy Apple Crisp
4 Apples
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup margarine
2/3 cup brown sugar
Peel and slice apples and place in baking dish. Pour lemon juice and sprinkle white sugar over apple slices. Mix together flour, butter and brown sugar. Spread this mixture over the apple slices as well. Bake at 375 F until apples are tender and top is bubbling (approx 20 – 30 mins).

Math Activity

• Divide the parents into small groups of 2 or 3, and have them talk about math games that they could do in one of these places:
• Shopping (finding specific items)
• Walking (counting steps, trees)
• In the park (counting dogs in the park, people, counting slides, timing how long it takes to go down slide)
• At home
• Observing the weather (You can have kids and parents use a weather chart with sun, clouds etc. to cut out and colour so they have something to frame their discussion around)

Homework

• Have the parents make a shopping list with their child (either by cutting out items out of a flyer or writing it)
• Age craft. Give the parents a blank sheet of paper. They are to draw the number of their child’s age and have child glue or create that number of objects on page
