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 scarecrows have you seen so far?<\/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, your child started with Talking Tess<\/strong> from Letterland<\/strong> and listened to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gcNyACBVitU<\/a> Your child traced the capital T and lowercase t. Let\u2019s listen to his story<\/strong>: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=00hvE5jTLj8<\/a> After listening to the story, help your child to retell the story using lots of T words.<\/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 T (table, teddy, telephone, ten, top, tractor.) You might want to add a picture of a hippo, so that your child can say that hippo does not start with T! Here is a book of T word pictures: https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/it-begins-with-t-minibook\/<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter T every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Your child discovered about the moon coming out at night. Some animals also wake up at night. Wake Up, Night<\/span> shows your child many nocturnal<\/strong> animals<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QhTMa2YkB0Q<\/a> Brainstorm with your child the nocturnal animals in your neighborhood.<\/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

Here are scarecrow stories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The Little Old Lady Who Was not Afraid of Anything<\/span> by Linda Williams https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0ccGGL_UE68<\/a><\/li>
  2. The Little Scarecrow Boy<\/span> by Margaret Wise Brown https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LNAW8A7eqHE<\/a> (advanced)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    After viewing a story, help your child sequence the story: what happened first, next and at the end (building memory.) Brainstorm with your child (1) what you need to build a scarecrow and (2) what faces you and your child can make that are scary (try many). Your child can draw faces too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201c5 Little Scarecrows\u201d Fingerplay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Five little scarecrows standing in a row.
    The first one said, “Look, here come the crows!”
    The second one said, “I am very small.”
    The third one said, “But, I am very tall.”
    The fourth one said, “I can bend my head.”
    The fifth one said, “I can wave my arms, instead.”
    Five little scarecrows standing in a row,
    Count them as they move when the wind blows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201c5 Black and Shiny Crows\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cGreen and speckled frog\u201d tune)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 black and shiny crows sitI give on a scarecrow\u2019s nose,
    Eating the most delicious corn, \u201cYUM, YUM\u201d
    The scarecrow shouted, \u201cBOO!\u201d and 1 crow away flew.
    Now there are 4 black shiny crows, \u201cCAW! CAW!\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cScarecrow, scarecrow dressed in red\u201d Song and Movement <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Scarecrow, scarecrow dressed in red.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow touch your head.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow dancing in the breeze.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow touch your knees.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow dressed in tattered clothes.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow touch your nose.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow hear the wind roar.
    Scarecrow, scarecrow drop to the floor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    For this math sorting activity, <\/strong>you need buttons and a muffin\/cupcake pan. Your child can sort buttons in the pan by colors, shapes, and sizes, and count the buttons in each cup. Label with the number.<\/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\/october-calendar-setbr4-pages\/october-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
