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

Have you seen a moose on the loose?
YES\/ NO\/ MAYBE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have My First School Book <\/strong>from Handwriting Without Tears<\/strong> methodology https:\/\/www.lwtears.com\/hwt<\/a>. Have your child complete page 42 and 43<\/strong>.<\/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 S (sad, sand, sandals, sausage, school, scissors, seaside, seesaw, sister, six, sky, sleep, small, snail, snake, soup, soap, socks, sound, snack, special, spider, star, start, summer, sun, sweets.) You might want to add a picture of an Goat, so that your child can say that Goat does not start with S! Here is a book of S word pictures: https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/the-s-book-2-minibook\/<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter S every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Did you know that a moose<\/strong> (bull, cow and calf<\/strong>), or elk in Europe, is the largest member of the deer family<\/strong>? In North America, the name moose comes from moosh translated as \u201cstripper and eater of bark\u201d in Algonquian language<\/strong> of Native Americans<\/strong>. A moose can weight up to 1,300 lbs and measure up to 7 feet at the shoulder. For this measuring exercise<\/strong>, brainstorm with your child what you can use (blocks, pillows, toys, …) to build a structure 1 foot tall, 2 feet tall, 3 feet tall,…. Use a measuring tape to confirm the height. What did you find out? How many times is your child\u2019s height for the moose\u2019s height?<\/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

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

    Let\u2019s review shapes! <\/strong>Cut different shapes out of construction paper like square, rectangle, circle, triangle, oval, diamond (rhombus) and encourage your child to build shapes<\/strong> with legos, blocks, popsicle sticks, counters, rocks,…. next to the paper shapes. As an extension, ask your child to build with some or all paper shapes, describe the structure\/animal built, and even transfer the building ideas to legos, blocks, popsicle sticks,…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    December is here now! The calendar<\/strong> is a daily<\/strong> activity to do with your child that develop number and pattern recognition.

    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

    Outside time with climbing, jumping, bicycling, running, walking are great ways to develop the whole child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With a group of people, play a \u201cGame of Duck, Duck, Moose.\u201d<\/strong> All players are sitting in a circle and one player is standing outside the circle. The standing player walks around outside of the circle touching lightly each player\u2019s head or shoulder and saying, \u201cDuck\u201d each time. When the standing player says, \u201cGoose\u201d, the sitting player touched gets up quickly and chases after the standing player around the circle until the standing player sits in the free spots in the circle. Then, the game starts again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
