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

Riddle: it has many colors, has 4 wheels and transports people. What is it?
BUS \ud83d\ude8c\/ CAR \ud83d\ude97\/ TRUCK \ud83d\udefb\/ BICYCLE \ud83d\udeb4 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your child started with Walter Walrus<\/strong> from Letterland<\/strong> and listened to the song: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pDPhSwygBgw<\/a> After listening to the song, your child traced a capital W and a lower case w, starting at the top (song – https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BJnZePnDo-U<\/a>), do a diagonal line down, do a diagonal line up, do a diagonal line down, and a diagonal line up. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yUifh-6Z7cg<\/a> Now, let\u2019s listen to the story from the Letterland Corner: Walter Walrus and the Weather<\/strong> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kd9ZIFSrbTc<\/a> After listening to the story, help your child retell the story using lots of W 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 W (walrus, walk, want, warm, wash, water, wave, way, wax, we, week, well, wet, whale, what, win, wind, window, winter, wish, with, word, witch, wicked). You might want to add a picture of a violin, so that your child can say Violin does not start with W! Here is a book of V word pictures: https:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/t.asp?t=http:\/\/www.first-school.ws\/images\/alpha\/ap1\/w.gif<\/a> and https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/my-letter-w-minibook\/<\/a> Also, you can add new objects\/pictures starting with the letter W every day and let your child explore the container all through the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

How do you move a matchbox car without touching it<\/strong>? Brainstorm with your child how to move a matchbox car (pushing it, blowing on it, using magnets, ….) For this propulsion<\/strong> experiment, you need (1) matchbox car, (2) tape, (3) magnets, (4) balloon, (5) thick rubber bands, and (6) straw. Attach 1 magnet or balloon attach to a straw with a rubber band to a matchbox car and use other magnet or blow into the balloon through the straw to make matchbox car move. For a similar experiment, use a paper clip on a paper plate and move a magnet under the paper plate to move the paper clip. Have fun!<\/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

\u201dThe Wheels on the Car\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cThe Wheels on the Bus\u201d tune) and Movement<\/strong>
The wheels on the car go round and round, round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the car go round and round, all through the town.
The wipers on the car go swish, swish, swish,….. (move arms left and right)
The engine in the car goes vroom, ……. (move fists up and down)
The door on the car goes open and shut,…… (open hand and clap hands)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c5 Little Cars\u201d Fingerplay<\/strong>.
One little car went to the zoo,
It met another car and then, there were two.
Two little cars driving by the sea,
One drove up from the beach and then, there were three.
Three little cars driving by the store.
Another car pulled out and then, there were four.
Four little cars out for a drive.
A car joined in and then, there were five!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the Car Wash\u201d Rhyme<\/strong>
one little car is in the car wash line,
Covered with mud and dirt and grime.
It went in the car wash.
Scrub, scrub, scrub,
Splash, splash, splash,
And rub, rub, rub.
When it came out it was clean and dry.
The happy little car said, \u201cThanks, goodbye!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Encourage your child to drive cars on the paper shapes road and have fun!
