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 an emoji \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 word start with letter B?
BABY \ud83d\udc76\ud83c\udfff \/ BIRTHDAY \ud83c\udf82\/ JACKET \ud83e\udde5\/ BOOTS\ud83d\udc62 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with Bouncy Ben<\/strong> from Letterland<\/strong> and listen to the song: <\/a>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uDwj_529HjI<\/a> After listening to the song, have your child trace a capital B and a lower case b, starting at the top (song – https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJnZePnDo-U<\/a>), go down, jump back up and do a curve line. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=O1MfdgzzdHo<\/a><\/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 B (baby, bad, balance, ball, bar, beautiful, bed, bee, big, bird, birthday,biscuit, blue, boat, bounce, bread, breakfast, bridge, brown, bubble, bun, bus, butter, butterfly.) You might want to add a picture of a pig, so that your child can say Dog that does not start with B! Here is a book of B word pictures: https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap1\/b.gif<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter B every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For the Red and Blue Food Coloring Race Science experiment<\/strong>, you need (1) blue and red food coloring and (2) 2 water bottles\/tall clear water glasses of same size. Does a difference in water temperature has an effect on the food color race?
Directions:
1. Pour cold water into 1 bottle\/tall water glass and warm water into another.
2. At the same time, put 1-3 drops of red food coloring in warm water and 1-3 drops of blue food coloring in cold water at the same time. What happens? Which color touches the bottom of the bottle\/glass first? Which color won the race?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Language Arts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winter Clothing Literature:
1. Sledding<\/span> by Elizabeth Winthrop https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6UN4VKKhfCI<\/a>

After viewing a book, help your child sequence the story<\/strong>: what happened first, next,… at the end. The major themes are winter clothing and seasons. Pretend with your child you are going into the cold winter to play and putting on clothes. With your child, name each piece of clothing and make a movement for putting on socks, undershirt,….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some riddles for your child:

\u201cWarm Clothes for When It\u2019s Cold\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cThe Farmer in the Dell\u201d tune)
Warm clothes for when it\u2019s cold. Warm clothes for when it\u2019s cold.
Hi-ho, the Derry-o!
Warm clothes for when it\u2019s cold.
Warm hat goes on my head. Warm hat goes on my head.
Hi-ho, the Derry-o!
Warm hat goes on my head.
Other verses: fuzzy mittens on my hands, soft scarf around my neck, thick boots on my feet,….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWarm Clothes\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cIf You\u2019re Happy and You Know It\u201d tune) with Movement<\/strong>

If you\u2019re cold and you know it, wear your hat (clap, clap).

If you know you\u2019re cold, wear your hat. (clap, clap).
Other verses: scarf, boots, mittens, jacket, snow pants,….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For this Dress-Up Math Activity<\/strong>, you need a die and your child winter clothing. Each number of the die corresponds to a piece of clothing:
1<\/strong> if for hat, 2<\/strong> is for jacket, 3<\/strong> is for scarf, 4<\/strong> is for mittens, 5<\/strong> is for socks, and 6<\/strong> is for boots. (For advanced, extend to 12 with 2 dice adding other pieces of clothing.) Each time your child roll the die, your child has to put on a new piece of clothing. As an alternative, you can use a paper person with paper clothing too. (https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/f_winter-2\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
