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 starts with the letter K? (Acknowledge the sound \u201ck\u201d in cat)
KOALA \ud83d\udc28\/ UNICORN \ud83e\udd84\/ CAT \ud83d\udc08\u200d\u2b1b\/ KITE \ud83e\ude81 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child started with Kicking King<\/strong> from Letterland<\/strong> and listened to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lV83Ke07Ovk<\/a> After listening to the song, your child traced a capital K and a lower case k, starting at the top (song – https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJnZePnDo-U<\/a>), go down, jump back up and then 2 diagonal lines down. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CXjKhVqswMM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Now, let\u2019s listen to the story from the Letterland Corner: Kicking King and His Socks<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fQWW3VeaT7Y <\/a>After listening to the story, help your child retell the story using lots of K words.<\/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 K (kangaroo, keep, kennel, ketchup, kettle, key, key, kick, kid, kilo, kind, king, kiss, kitchen, kite, kitten, kaleidoscope). You might want to add a picture of a rainbow, so that your child can say rainbow does not start with K! Here is a book of K word pictures: https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/my-letter-k-minibook\/<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter K every day and let your child explore the container all through the week. More K words https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap1\/k.gif<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For the Fruit Salad Snack<\/strong>, you need (1) any kind of fruit, (2) bowl and spoon, (3) plastic knife (with adult only), and (4) lemon juice to prevent oxydation. Cut hard fruit and assist your child cutting with a plastic knife (advanced learners) a soft fruit like a banana. After all pieces of fruit are cut, help your child to put all together in a bowl with some lemon juice. Yummy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask your child: what happens to a piece of raw apple left on the counter for 1-2 hours? Do the experiment having 2 pieces of raw apples<\/strong>: 1 raw piece and 1 raw piece with lemon juice on it. Observe the pieces of apples after 1-2 hours. What happened? The raw piece of apple went through a process called oxydation reaction or reaction to oxygen in the air. The other piece did not because the lemon juice or vitamin C (ascorbic acid) prevented the oxydation reaction and the change of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/h2>\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
