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 F?
FLAME \ud83d\udd25 CAT \ud83d\udc31 FLOWER \ud83c\udf38 FISH \ud83d\udc20 <\/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 (you could draw \ud83d\ude42) either in all uppercase letters or just first letter in uppercase and the rest in lowercase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, we started with Firefighter Fred <\/strong>from Letterland<\/strong> and listen to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SQbFjujR00o<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s listen to his story: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HQtR4tegDPY<\/a> After listening to the story, help your child to retell the story using lots of F words.<\/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 F (Face, fall, farm, fence, five, flag). You might want to add a picture of a ball, so that your child can say that ball does not start with F! Here is a book of F word pictures https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/my-letter-f-2-minibook\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For this fun experiment<\/strong>, you need (1) bowl, (2) shaving cream, (3) red and yellow food coloring, and (4) a spray bottle with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:
1. Put some shaving cream in the bowl with drops of food coloring on top. It is your fire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Spray the \u201cfire\u201c with water. What happens to the fire or shaving cream? Draw a parallel with what a real firefighter does with his water hose.<\/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

Let\u2019s brainstorm with your child what a firefighter does? Here is Clifford: The Firehouse Dog<\/span> by Norman Bridwell. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZTGiO9Ed6gQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After viewing the book, help your child to sequence the story (happened first, then, at the end) with as many details as your child can. The last page of the book has safety rules that you can read to your child and see what applies to your home. It is always good to review once a year with your family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you saw with Clifford, the \u201cSTOP, DROP AND ROLL\u201d can be lifesaving. Demonstrate to your child and have your child practice a couple of times. This song can help https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w_Z6XFLEHkA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wheels on the Firetruck Song<\/strong> and Movement<\/strong> (Tune of The \u201cWheels on the Bus\u201d) The verses are: Ladder\u2026up and down, Hose\u2026spray, spray spray, Firedog\u2026woof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Clean-Up Song<\/strong> (tune of \u201cTwinkle, Twinkle Little Star\u201d) for A House Job<\/strong>. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ia8HEO2s6vs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove Grows\u201d Song<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yN3RGUt87d0<\/a>) I teach the sign language too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For this math game,<\/strong> you need (1) dice and (2) counters. Put the counters in the middle and each player gets a dice. Take turn rolling the die and take the number of counters equivalent to the number of dots on the die. The game ends when there is no more counters In the middle and the player with the most counters wins! <\/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

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> How many more (count with fingers)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gross Motor Skills<\/h2>\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

For this scavenger hunt<\/strong>, hide pictures\/objects that start with the letter F in your home or yard and have your child find them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
