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

My favorite Closing Song<\/strong> sung on \u201cTwinkle, Twinkle Little Star\u201d tune with movement:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twinkle, twinkle little stars! Time is over and we say goodbye. (Open and close hands)
We had fun with all our friends. Let\u2019s come back and do it again! (Arm moved up and back)
Twinkle, twinkle, little stars! What a wonderful bunch you are! (Blow kisses) <\/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 capital\/uppercase and the rest in lowercase. If your child is starting to write on paper, you can write your child\u2019s name with a highlighter and your child can use a crayon to trace it.<\/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

Which bird is nocturnal?
EAGLE \/ OWL \/ PEACOCK \/ NIGHTINGALE <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make letter O shape:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 2 big curves for capital O\/ 2 little curves<\/strong> for Lowercase o<\/strong>. Your child use a finger to trace the letter starting at the top, going down, around from left to right and back up. (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UmpV-h9Imj4<\/a>). 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>)<\/li>
  2. Wet-Dry-Try on small chalkboard<\/strong> (Handwriting Without Tears) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q6p4LUEGbwM<\/a><\/li>
  3. Play dough<\/strong> with small chalkboard (recipe: https:\/\/www.thebestideasforkids.com\/playdough-recipe\/<\/a>) or you can purchase the Roll-A-Dough<\/strong> Set from Handwriting without Tears https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=spjVLDXDixI<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\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 O (object, October, octopus, odd, off, of, or, office, often, on, opposite, orange, ostrich, otter.) You might want to add a picture of a cat, so that your child can say that cat does not start with O! Here is a book of O word pictures:     https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/my-oo-book-5-minibook\/<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter O every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Astronomers are very excited this week. With a good telescope, you can see almost all the planets in our solar system<\/strong>. I hope budding astronomers get a chance to look at the sky at night with their families!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Have you ever heard of an owl pellet<\/strong>? Owls often swallow mice, voles, small birds and other prey whole! Bones, teeth and fur are indigestible and regurgitated into an oval mass. I bought pellets safe for class use and children could see bones enveloped in fur. Here is a video of discovery with a song https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=FENowCc-A8M<\/a><\/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

    These books can entertain, especially nocturnal<\/strong> friends! Here are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. I\u2019m not Sleepy<\/span>! by Jane Chapman https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aTjSwg__xiE<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      After viewing a story, help your child to sequence the story: what came first, second,… and at the end. Share what your bedtime routine is and ask what your child\u2019s bedtime routine is too. Brainstorm how you can make it better. My young son\u2019s night routine is yoga, deep breathing and some reading with soothing music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Owl Song<\/strong> (\u201cI\u2019m a Little Teapot\u201d tune)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019m a great big owl as you can see.
      Flying high up in a tree.
      When the other birds wake me up when they play,
      It\u2019s no use, I like to play in the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cFive Owlets\u201d Fingerplay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Five little owls on a branch by the shore
      One extended its wings.
      And then there were four.
      Four little owls perched high in a tree.
      The wind shook one off.
      And then there were three.
      Three little owls with little to do
      One got restless.
      And then there were two.
      Two little owls having some fun
      Their mommy came along.
      And then there was one.
      One little owl really winked at me.
      It flew into the forest.
      Where it needed to be!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cThe Owl and the Wind\u201d Poem<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A little owl sat on a branch on a chilly fall day.
      It watched the leaves dance in the air.
      It watched the branches sway.
      The wind was howling through some trees.
      The squirrels were scampering all around.
      The little owl looked up and said, \u201cSoon we\u2019ll have some snow!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

      Let\u2019s play Shape Bingo Game<\/strong>. Print these pages https:\/\/preschoolmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/PMom\/Bingo\/ShapeBingoPack.pdf<\/a> and have a set of cut-out shapes and counters to play. The winning player is the one identifying four shapes in a row on a printed bingo sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      November is here! 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\/november-calendar-setbr4-pages\/november-calendar-set-2<\/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
