Salut! 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

How many siblings do you have?
0 1 2 3 MORE<\/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

Now that your child is familiar with wood pieces<\/strong>, We can start with Map Man. You need extra pieces<\/strong>: a rectangular body (paper), a nose, two eyes and two hands. The steps are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. View the video https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xvphUKrDobc<\/a><\/li>
  2. Parent build a Map Man with the song<\/li>
  3. Child build a Map Man with the song<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Next, both you and your child have a piece of paper<\/strong> and a crayon. With the song, a parent draws<\/strong> each part and invite your child to do the same looking at the parent drawing. At the end of Map Man, have your child add details to the drawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There is also Page 76<\/strong> in your My First Book.<\/strong><\/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

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

    When the Relatives Came<\/span> by Cynthia Ryland https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oKqAblcwFOA<\/a> After viewing the book, help your child to sequence<\/strong> the story: what happened first, next, what did the relatives do, how did the story end? To help your child\u2019s memory and focus you might also use \u201chow, what, where, who and why<\/strong>\u201d questions during the book viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201dJack and Jill\u201d Nursery Rhyme<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=plBJOMTZ6qA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jack and Jill went up the hill
    To fetch a pail of water.
    Jack fell down and broke his crown,
    And Jill came tumbling after.<\/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
