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 N?
MONKEY \ud83d\udc12 \/ NIGHT \ud83c\udf19 \/ DOG \ud83d\udc15 \/ PIG \ud83d\udc16 \/ NURSE<\/strong> \ud83d\udc69\u200d\u2695\ufe0f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child started with Noisy Nick <\/strong>from Letterland<\/strong> and listened to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KdcVt2xJS5A<\/a> After listening to the song, your child traced a capital N and a lower case n, starting at the top (song – https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJnZePnDo-U<\/a>), do a line down, jump back up, do a diagonal line down, do a straight line up.<\/a> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I8q0UAT1NbE<\/a> Now, let\u2019s listen to the story from the Letterland Corner: Noisy Nick in the Night<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LlftOpQu83A<\/a> After listening to the story, help your child retell the story using lots of N 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 N (nails, name, nap, near, neck, need, needle, nest net, never, new, next, nice, night, nine, no, noise, nose, not, now, number, nurse, nursery, nuts). You might want to add a picture of an Mouse, so that your child can say mouse does not start with N! Here is a book of N word pictures: https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap1\/n.gif<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter N every day and let your child explore the container all through the week. More N words: <\/a>https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/my-letter-n-minibook\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Observation<\/strong> in science is crucial. Whether you have a pet or not (neighbor\u2019s), encourage your child to observe a pet with these questions:
1. what does it eat?
2. Where does it live?
3. How does it move?
4. When is it awake?
5. Why is it a pet?
To conclude, encourage your child to draw the pet using paper and crayons\/markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Spring is around the corner, you and your child can already grow<\/strong> grass<\/strong>. For this science activity, you need (1) cup, (2) soil, (3) grass seeds, and (4) watering can with water. What will happen to the grass seeds?
Directions:
1. put soil in cup and push in grass seeds.
2. water cup with soil and grass seeds with a little water every other day and observe grass seeds grow. <\/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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Pet Literature:
1. Some Pets<\/span> by Angela Diterlizzi https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U0hgthypz70<\/a>.
2. Pete the Cat – A Pet for Pete<\/span> by James Dean https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RGHaWr_Excc<\/a>.
3. Little Critter\u2019s These are my Pets<\/span> by Mercer Mayer https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3AVGt8zZ3AI<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After viewing a book, help your child sequence<\/strong> the story: what happened first, next,… at the end. Brainstorm with your child which pet do you have or would like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an advanced activity<\/strong>, have your child fill in a simple story map<\/strong>. Take a sheet of paper and divide it into 3 equal size parts. Write \u201cBeginning\u201d, \u201cMiddle\u201d, and \u201cEnd\u201d and encourage your child to make a drawing about the beginning, the middle and the end of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bingo Song<\/strong>
There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was its name-o.
B I N G O, B I N G O, B I N G O (say each letter individually)
And Bingo was its name-o!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, Diddle Diddle\u201d Nursery rhyme<\/strong>
Hey, diddle diddle!
The cat and the fiddle,
And the cow jumping over the moon.
The little dog laughs to see such sport,
And the dish runs away with the spoon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c1,2,3,4,5\u201d Nursery Rhyme<\/strong>
1,2,3,4,5, I caught a fish alive.
6,7,8,9,10, I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on the right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Let\u2019s have fun reviewing shapes<\/strong>! Have you already played with a geo-board with rubber bands<\/strong>? Instead you can make your own (adult only). For creating a geo-board, you need (1) hammer, (2) 25 flat head nails, (3) a wood board, and (5) rubber bands. Nail a 5×5 nail square and show your child how to stretch a rubber band over the nails. Stretch a rubber band over the 5×5 square first, over 2×5 rectangle, and then different types of shapes (triangle, pentagon, trapezoid,…) Encourage your child to stretch rubber bands and make shapes too! Your child can also further practice counting the number of nails inside a shape.

February is here to stay! 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\/february-calendar-setbr-4-pages\/february-calendar-set-3<\/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?How many more (count with fingers)<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
