Aloha! 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 Starts with the letter L ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LIZARD\ud83e\udd8e APPLE \ud83c\udf4e LION \ud83e\udd81 CAR \ud83d\ude97 <\/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) starting at the top of each letter, either in all uppercase letters or just first letter in uppercase and the rest in lowercase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us start with Lucy Light <\/strong>from Letterland<\/strong> and listen to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=31NAJb5wzWk<\/a> After listening, show your child how to write a capital L and a lower case l (advanced) starting at the top (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJnZePnDo-U<\/a>). Have your child first trace the letter(s) you wrote with one finger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the phonetic<\/strong> part, have a big yogurt container with a lid filled with small objects or pictures that start with the letter L (lemon, lettuce, lentils, lion, lizard, leaf, leg letter). You might want to add a picture of an apple, so that your child can say that apple does not start with L ! Here is an L book with pictures https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/my-letter-l-2-minibook\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Mixing colors is fun! Here are 2 books:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Mouse Paint<\/span> by Ellen Stoll Walsh https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WukUhcwv3Es<\/a><\/li>
  2. Mix-It Up<\/span> by Herve Tullet (Interactive fun) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WLxFNtNZa4E<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    After viewing either one, you might want to mix primary colors with your child either on paper or (less messy) in a small plastic bag. Children love to mix!<\/p>\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

    All through the year, we will support your child\u2019s social-emotional development with different activities. Together<\/span> by Jane Simmons https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=087z-aQDfH8<\/a> shows how we can get along…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After viewing the book, help your child sequence the story: what happened first, next and at the end. then, brainstorm with your child the differences between Mouse and Nut. Explain that Mouse and Nut did not think they could play together because of their differences. In the story, they both accepted their differences because they wanted to play together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The More We Get Together\u201d Song<\/strong> with movement https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lldmkrJXQ-E<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The more we get together, together, together,
    The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
    Because your friends are my friends
    And my friends are your friends
    The more we get together, the happier we’ll be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201dIf You\u2019re Thankful and You Know It\u201d Song<\/strong> (Tune of If You\u2019re Happy and You Know It\u201d Song)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.
    If you\u2019re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.
    If you\u2019re thankful and you know it and you really want to show it.
    If you\u2019re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Five Little Friends Fingerplay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Five little friends went out to play
    On a bright and sunny day,
    One little friend said, “I can’t stay.”
    Then there were four little friends left to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Four little friends went out to play

    Math<\/h2>\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

    Daily counting of tally marks<\/strong> and show your child a number card or write the number down to show your child. The numbers of the tallies will be different every day. Extend the concept by comparing numbers: which has more? Which has fewer? Which are the same?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
