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

What rhymes with fish?
APPLE \/ WISH \/ BED \/ DISH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child started with Vicky\u2019s Vase of Violets<\/strong> from Letterland<\/strong> and listened to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7sjY5HcQBZU<\/a> After listening to the song, your child traced a capital V and a lower case v, starting at the top (song – https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJnZePnDo-U<\/a>), do a diagonal line down and do a diagonal line up.<\/a> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tKh8-XBvQ3I<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s listen to the story from the Letterland Corner: Vicky Violet and the Vet<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CYMDNj4Bfus<\/a>. After listening to the story, help your child retell the story using lots of V 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 V (valley, van, vanilla, vanish, vase, vegetables, velvet, very, vest, vet, village, violets, violin, visit, visitor, voice, volcano, vole). You might want to add a picture of an Ninja, so that your child can say Ninja does not start with V! Here is a book of V word pictures: https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap1\/v.gif<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter V every day and let your child explore the container all through the week. Practice: https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap4_zb_tracers\/v4.gif<\/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
