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

What do you do at night?
SLEEP \ud83d\udecc\/ DREAM \ud83d\udcad\/ PLAY \ud83e\uddf8\/ SING \ud83c\udfb6 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Letter Q Shape:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 2 big curves and 1 little line for capital Q\/ 1 little curve<\/strong> and one little line<\/strong> for Lowercase q<\/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=v9NkEIHv190<\/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>

    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 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\n

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

    The Chinook Indian tribe used dugout canoes<\/strong> by hollowing out cedar of fir logs to trade, fish and hunt. I encourage you and your child to construct a paper canoe that floats. For this Birch Bark Canoe Project<\/strong>, you need (1) brown construction paper or brown paper, (2) scissors, (3) yarn, (4) crayons\/markers\/tempera paint with brush, (5) hole punch, (6) a bowl of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Fold the piece of construction paper\/brown paper the long side.<\/li>
    2. Make 2 other folds on each side of the fold line, at about 1\/2 inch of the fold line. The folds look like a W and is the bottom of the canoe.<\/li>
    3. Draw a canoe shape on the paper side, rounding the edges.<\/li>
    4. Draw\/decorate canoe sides with crayons, markers or paint.<\/li>
    5. Cut out the canoe shape and hole punch at each end, about 4-5 holes.<\/li>
    6. Cut 2 pieces of yarn to lace each end. Lace each end with yarn pieces.<\/li>
    7. Push the canoe folded floor flat so that the canoe can sit.<\/li>
    8. Put canoe in bowl of water to see if it floats. Ask your child what happens?<\/li>

      Let\u2019s show your child the Northwest region of the United States<\/strong> where the Chinooks<\/strong> live.<\/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

          If you and your child have the possibility to go canoeing or boating<\/strong> on a nearby lake, the experience of paddling is chalkenging but enriching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
