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) 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 On which continent do we live? Let us start with Quarrelsome Queen<\/strong> from Letterland<\/strong> and listen to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cIk5veO2Ecw<\/a> After listening, show your child how to write a capital Q and a lower case q (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 or trace Q and q on the screen: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=v9NkEIHv190<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n A whole week activity<\/strong>: The first people living in America were the Native Americans<\/strong>. Here is a book called Many Nations: An Alphabet of Native America<\/span> by Joseph Bruchac (advanced.) Then, people came from all over the world to settle down in America. For this World (7) Continents Song<\/strong>, show a world map to your child and point to continents: 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). For each page on Native Americans<\/strong> this week, we will focus on one different nations<\/strong>\/tribes<\/strong> and I encourage you to show their regions on a map of the United States https:\/\/csl.noaa.gov\/assessments\/climate\/2017\/guide.html<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, we will learn about the Wampanoags<\/strong> and the Wampanoag Way (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SmisO7pdMW4<\/a> – advanced.) The Native American heritage is often transmitted through oral stories, but some books are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c10 Little Native Americans\u201d Song<\/strong> \u201dI\u2019m a Native American\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cI\u2019m a Little Teapot\u201d tune) Lakota Lullaby https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dNulkDwFAxY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For this Native American math game<\/strong> named Picaria<\/strong>, you need (1) paper, (2) crayons\/pencils, and (3) 6 counters\/beads of one color and 6 of another. It starts with drawing an 8 inch square box. Then divide into 4 square boxes of 4 inches. Then divide each 4 inch box with an x. Mark each intersection with a dot. The game is like an advanced tic-tac-toe. Each player gets 6 counters and place one counter at a time at each turn. No counters in the main center dot yet. After all the counters are down, continue to play by sliding counters from one dot to another, without jumping, and players can slide counters on the main center dot. The winning player is the one having three counters in a row. Decorate the paper with colors! (https:\/\/thelittletravelers.typepad.com\/the_little_travelers\/2009\/01\/picaria.html<\/a>)<\/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 For the Native American Patterned headband Art Project<\/strong>, you need (1) brown construction paper, (2) construction paper different shapes of different color, (3) scissors, (4) glue, (5) hole puncher, (6) yarn, (7) three feathers, and (8) stapler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n For Salt Dough Bead Making Art Project<\/strong>, you need (1) chopsticks\/bamboo skewers, (2) 2 cups of flour, (3) 1 cup of salt, (4) 1 cup of water, (5) mixing bowl, (6) spoon, (7) paint (acrylic), (8) brush, (9) baking sheet and (1) string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are the Wampanoags!

For the phonetic<\/strong> part, have a big yogurt container with a lid filled with small objects or pictures that start with the letter Q (Quack, quarrelsome, quarter, queen, question, queue, quick, quiet, quill, quilt, quite, quiz, Quincy, quail, quinoa.) You might want to add a picture of an owl, so that your child can say that owl does not start with Q! Here is a book of Q word pictures: https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap1\/q.gif<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter Q every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\nScience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

North America, South America, Africa, Europe and Asia.

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\nLanguage Arts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One little, two little, three little Native Americans.
