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

Can you ride a bicycle………..?
WITH 2 TRAINING WHEELS \/ WITHOUT 2 TRAINING WHEELS\/ I RIDE A TRICYCLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

  1. 4 big lines for capital W\/ 4 little lines for Lowercase w<\/strong>. Your child use a finger to trace the letter starting at the top, going diagonally down, and then back up diagonally, then down diagonally and up diagonally again. (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 8 Shape<\/strong>: start at the top, go around down diagonally and back up around diagonally. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch<\/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 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

    What is faster? For Time<\/strong> Measuring Speed Experiment<\/strong>, you need a bicycle\/tricycle and a timer. Encourage your child to run a distance and time it. Then, ask your child to bicycle\/tricycle the same distance and time it too. Which experiment was faster and why?<\/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

    Bicycle Literature:
    1. Bear on a Bike<\/span> by Stella Blackstone     https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=H7YZ24mYPIE<\/a>
    2. My Bike<\/span> by Byron Barton     https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p_tidNERXmc<\/a>.
    3. Duck on a Bike<\/span> by David Shannon     https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uKpD51JzQcU<\/a>.
    4. Frogging Rides a Bike<\/span> by Jonathan London and Frank Remkievicz (advanced)     https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EvjxMkLb5xQ<\/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 what you know about bicycling. Discuss how your child can keep safe. (Reference website below)<\/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

    \u201dThe Wheels on the Bicycle\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cThe Wheels on the Bus\u201d tune) and Movement<\/strong>
    The wheels on the bicycle go round and round, round and round, round and round,
    The wheels on the bicycle go round and round, all through the town.
    The bell on the bicycle goes ring, ring, ring,…..
    The breaks on the bicycle goes screech, screech, screech,…..
    The biker on the bicycle says, \u201cI have fun; I have fun; I have fun\u201d,…..
    The handle bar on the bicycle goes right and left,……<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI Wear my Helmet\u201d Song<\/strong> (\u201cSkip to my Lou\u201d tune).
    I wear my helmet when I ride,
    When I ride my bike outside.
    I don\u2019t take it off till I\u2019m done with my bike.
    It\u2019s time I wear my helmet!
    Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou!
    Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou!
    Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou, my darling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cMy Bicycle\u201d Finger-play <\/strong>
    One wheel, two wheels on the road. (Arms make circles)
    My feet make the pedals go round and round. (Pedal with feet)
    The handle bar helps me steer so straight. (Hold handle bar)
    Down the sidewalk and through the gate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

    Pattern blocks and design cards<\/strong> are fun geometrical puzzles and excellent math tools. I strongly recommends exploring them with your child. You can make your own by printing free pattern blocks mats found on different websites and cutting shapes out of color construction paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do you have a set of dominoes<\/strong>? Here is a free template http:\/\/www.supercoloring.com\/paper-crafts\/printable-dominoes-set-template<\/a>. For playing dominoes, put a domino in front of players and divide equally all other dominoes. Each player takes turn to find a domino that has the same number of dots as the one(s) in front while making a domino chain.

    Spring is in the air in March! 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\/march-calendar-set\/march-calendar-set-4<\/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

    Art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For Spin Art Project<\/strong>, you need (1) salad spinner, (2) tempera paint, (3) white paper.
    Directions:
    1. Take lid off salad spinner and place a piece of white paper in.
    2. Drop some tempera paint of choice on paper.
    3. Put lid back on and spin.
    4. Take lid off and see beautiful colorful art!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For Building with Pasta Art Project<\/strong>, you need (1) paper, (2) Little Wheels and Penne noodles, (3) markers, and (4) glue.
    Directions:
    1. Take paper and build bicycles with little wheels and Penne noodles.
    2. Glue all pieces together. Add details of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gross Motor Skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Outside time with climbing, jumping, bicycling, running, walking are great ways to develop the whole child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
