Bonjour! Let\u2019s sing together our song \u201cRise and Shine – Welcome to School Today\u201d by Dr. Jean https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jyAD2OoFuoY<\/a> and our greeting song \u201cHello to all the children of the world\u201d: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2nYjGy_ZUG8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I realize that you might have to survey other members of your family for the question of the day<\/strong> so that your child have enough tally marks to count or have your child put more than one tally mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite color?
Blue Red Yellow Green Pink Purple<\/strong> …….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might also want to only draw a circle of each color to let your child tell you which color it is. It is an easy review!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next step is help your child own the rules by making a poster of your positive and safe learning environment rules. On my poster, I wrote the rules in capital letters and glued different parts of Mr. Potato Head<\/strong>. You can brainstorm with your child what to use like pictures or toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Quiet voices<\/strong> – Red lips<\/li>
  2. Listening hears<\/strong> – Blue ears<\/li>
  3. Helping hands<\/strong> – White gloved hands<\/li>
  4. Walking feet<\/strong> – Blue Feet<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    On the tune of \u201cClementine\u201d, we can sing: what\u2019s the weather, what\u2019s the weather, what\u2019s the weather like today? Is it cloudy, is it rainy, is it sunny, is it cold?<\/strong> (You can also change the words).
    Let your child check the weather and tell you about it. You might want to ask your child to do a weather drawing that you can label. Some activities will be repetitive to create a routine that brings comfort to your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Language Arts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We will do lots of review of what your child already know and will extend that knowledge with a social-emotional aspect to it. Here is The Crayon Box That Talked<\/span> by Shane DeRolf https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NiXNuYOWDtY<\/a> After viewing the book, review the story with your child. You can focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. The sequencing of the story and what the crayons felt. The crayons worked together<\/strong> and were happy<\/strong> with the beautiful picture.<\/li>
    2. review the primary and secondary colors, extend asking what if you mix colors! You might want to design a science experiment with watercolor for your child.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      You can review singing the \u201cTwinkle, Twinkle, Little Star\u201d Song and \u201cOpen, Shut Them\u201d rhyme, as well as \u201cThe More We Get Together\u201d Song with movement https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lldmkrJXQ-E<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Math<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Daily counting of tally marks<\/strong> and the counters<\/strong> you put in a container is an excellent practice for your child\u2019s mathematical skills. The numbers of the tallies will be different every day and you can also change the counters. Extend the concept by comparing numbers: which has more? Which has less? Which are the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      For art projects, allow your child to discover the supplies you put together. I always had the easel with watercolor\/acrylic paint available in the classroom, as well as paper\/scissors\/crayons\/tape\/glue on a table. What a creative child!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For this art project<\/strong>, we will paint your child\u2019s hand with acrylic paint and awaken your child\u2019s senses. You might hear: \u201cIt tickles or it is cold.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      We will paint a crayon box with your child\u2019s hand and you need acrylic paint, paper and a marker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Paint each finger of one hand a different color acrylic paint<\/li>
      2. Paint the palm yellow<\/li>
      3. Make a print with your child\u2019s hand on paper<\/li>
      4. Write Crayon Box on the palm print once dry.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        You child might want to explore further and ask to have second hand painted. He\/She might further decide to put both hands together and see what color he\/she can make. Have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Outside time with climbing, jumping, bicycling, running, walking are great ways to develop the whole child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
