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

How many pets do you see in one day?
1 \/ 2 \/ 3 \/ 4 \/ 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Letter N Shape:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. 3 big lines for capital N\/ 1 big line, 1 little curve and 1 little line for Lowercase n<\/strong>. Your child use a finger to trace the letter starting at the top, going down, jump back up, going around and down, go straight up and around and down. (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>
  3. Play dough<\/strong> with small chalkboard (recipe: https:\/\/www.thebestideasforkids.com\/playdough-recipe\/<\/a>) or you can purchase the Roll-A-Dough<\/strong> Set from Handwriting without Tears https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=spjVLDXDixI<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    For writing Number 6 Shape<\/strong>: start at the top, go down and around. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rCDve755QNo<\/a> Encourage your child to trace with pointer finger. Practice Sheet: https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/practice-writing-the-number-6-2-coloring-page\/<\/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 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. Practice letter N: https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/practice-writing-the-letter-n-coloring-page\/<\/a><\/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

    After viewing a book, help your child sequence<\/strong> the story: what happened first, next,… at the end. Brainstorm with your child what a dog (your dog) needs to live.<\/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

    A Dog with a Bone\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cIf you\u2019re happy and you know it\u201d tune).
    Oh, I wish I was a doggy with a bone (2x).
    Oh, wouldn\u2019t I delight. I would howl all day or night.
    Oh, I wish I was a doggy with a bone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cHey, Diddle Diddle\u201d Nursery rhyme<\/strong>
    Hey, diddle diddle!

    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

    \u201dOld Mother Hubbard\u201d Nursery Rhyme<\/strong>
    Old Mother Hubbard.
    Went to the cupboard,
    To give her poor dog a bone;
    But when she got there,
    The cupboard was bare.
    And so the poor dog had none.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So she went to the baker\u2019s
    To buy him some bread.
    And when she came back,
    The poor dog was fed. (Adapted for children)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With blocks, recyclable items, or legos, encourage your child to build a dog shelter<\/strong> for a pretend dog and count<\/strong> the pieces used. For further exploration, your child can use a ruler to measure length, width, and height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
