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 H?
HAT \ud83c\udfa9 HAIR \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udfeb KITTY \ud83d\udc31 HAND \ud83d\udd90 <\/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

Let us start with Hairy Hat Man <\/strong>from Letterland<\/strong> and listen to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BWLI4x17RMQ<\/a> After listening, show your child how to write a capital H and a lower case h (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. Lowercase h writing https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LaIu46w8bdA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A whole week activity<\/strong>:
For the phonetic<\/strong> part, have a big yogurt container with a lid filled with small objects or pictures that start with the letter H (hair, heart, helicopter, horse, hat.) You might want to add a picture of a kitty, so that your child can say that kitty does not start with H! Here is a book of H word pictures https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/h-is-for-house-2-minibook\/<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter H every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

What would prevent your child from seeing the moon? Clouds<\/strong>? Eric Carle wrote Little Cloud<\/span> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jWVwkdL98Rs<\/a>
After viewing the book, discuss with your child the clouds he sees in the sky. For this project<\/strong> of reproducing clouds, you need (1) big sheet of blue construction paper, (2) cotton balls, (3) glue and (4) cards print out https:\/\/www.pinayhomeschooler.com\/2012\/04\/clouds-for-preschoolers-free.html<\/a>
After you print cloud cards, have your child glue the cards on the upper-half of your blue construction paper and have your child put glue on paper and reproduce the type of cloud on the lower-half shaping cotton balls. You and your child can make as many or as few as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember the cycle of seasons<\/strong> we reviewed earlier. We repeated the names of all seasons with a simple movement<\/strong>. Have your child make a big circle in the air with their arm. At each quarter, have your child repeat a season (fall or autumn, winter, spring and summer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the tune of \u201cOh, my Darling Clementine\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

How do clouds move? clouds are pushed by the …… wind<\/strong>! When the Wind Blew<\/span> by Pat Hutchins https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6bDX7hPnof8<\/a> While viewing the book, Use tally marks for all the things the wind picks up. Then, help your child to enumerate all things that the wind picked up. It can be a challenge but excellent for memory practice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dIt is Raining, It is Pouring\u201d Book<\/strong> by Kin Eagle and Song<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9vmAXb3QkvY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s windy and you know it, swing and sway.
If it\u2019s windy and you know it, swing and sway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s windy and you know it. Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it\u2019s windy and you know it, swing and sway! (Instead of \u201cswing and sway\u201d you can use \u201cclose the door\u201d,…)<\/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
