Guten Tag! 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 do you like to do?
SOCCER \u26bd\ufe0f BICYCLE \ud83d\udeb2 TRAVEL \ud83e\uddf3 DANCE \ud83d\udc83 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the writing\/reading process,<\/strong> have your child trace or copy (advanced skill) daily<\/strong> his\/her name on paper\/dry eraser board\/ mini blackboard (kindergarten handwriting page), either in all uppercase letters or just first letter in uppercase and the rest in lowercase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have My First School Book <\/strong>from Handwriting Without Tears<\/strong> methodology https:\/\/www.lwtears.com\/hwt<\/a>, we will use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to start learning letters, your child will need a set of big curves, little curves, big lines and little lines in wood.<\/strong> You can purchase them at https:\/\/www.lwtears.com<\/a> or make them your self. Here is a picture: http:\/\/cdn.lwtears.com\/images\/uploads\/1_787_large.png<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have your wood pieces, we will first get your child familiar with them with games<\/strong>:
1. Call your wooden pieces and ask to trade for another piece. You might ask \u201cMay I have the Little Line, please<\/strong>?

2. Wood pieces in a bag: your child reaches into the bag and tell you what they feel. For fun, you might want to add a spoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Wood pieces in the box: your child can look for matching pieces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Body parts and positions with wood pieces: your child moves lines like you do. Big line under my arm, over my arm,….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Circles and curves: your child can build a circle and tell you what a curve reminds your child of (a rainbow, a smile,…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Let your child use the lines to show you different capital letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also allow your child to explore them. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JlHhUksecZk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can continue with My First Book<\/strong>, turn to page 20, 21 and 22<\/strong> and have your child aim and trace. Here is a song<\/strong> for your child on how to hold the crayon https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4AXc76P-168<\/a>
Watch for the proper grip and help your child to find it, if needed. https:\/\/www.lwtears.com\/blog\/how-to-hold-pencil-grip<\/a><\/p>\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 weather 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

Jane Simmons wrote about Daisy and its adventures. Here is Daisy and The Egg<\/span> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3HW3W8eYcoI<\/a>, Quack, Daisy, Quack <\/span>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=umVcsDyTVl8<\/a>, Come Along Daisy<\/span> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=riCM1hA_qrs<\/a> or Daisy and the Beastie<\/span> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eCZsobly3TI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After viewing the story, help your child to sequence the story: what happened first, next and at the end. Each book describes different emotions of happiness, sadness, fear and bravery. Brainstorm with your child when\/how Daisy had the feeling, when\/how you and your child might get the feeling. And how you can help each other, when the feeling is uncomfortable. (Daisy was scared and it\u2019s mom came back to sit on the egg with Daisy and I stayed with my son until he was asleep because he had a nightmare and was scared)<\/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. Once tallied or counted, show your child the appropriate number card or write the number down to show your child. 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 fewer? Which are the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The calendar<\/strong> is a daily<\/strong> activity to do with your child that develop number and pattern recognition. Here is the link to print a calendar to update daily with your child. The set has a weather component, if you like. https:\/\/www.themailbox.com\/magazines\/september-calendar-setbr4-pages\/september-calendar-set-3<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
