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

Have you been on … ?
TRAIN \/ BUS \ud83d\ude8c\/ PLANE \u2708\ufe0f\/ BOAT <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have My First School Book <\/strong>from Handwriting Without Tears<\/strong> methodology https:\/\/www.lwtears.com\/hwt<\/a>. Have your child complete page 66<\/strong>. Your child can also practice writing number 8 on pages 86 and 87.<\/strong> More practice https:\/\/twistynoodle.com\/practice-writing-the-letter-w-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 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

\u201dThe Wheels on the Bus\u201d Song<\/strong> and Movement<\/strong>
The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round,
The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town.
The horn on the bus goes honk, honk, honk,…..
The breaks on the bus goes screech, screech, screech,…..
The driver on the bus says, \u201cHave a sear, have a seat, have a seat!\u201d,…..
The wipers on the bus goes swish, swish, swish,…..
The doors on bus go open and shut, open and shut, open and shut,…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The School Bus Rhyme<\/strong> and Movement <\/strong>(children in line or sitting down)
School bus, school bus drives around town,
Picking up and dropping off, and bumping up and down! (Bounce in place).
Turn to the left, (lean left)
Turn to the right, (lean right)
This school bus is out of sight!
Big, loud, and yellow, my bus is really neat!
(child\u2019s name) hop on and take the front seat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic Light Song<\/strong> (\u201cTwinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star\u201d)
Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light,
On the corner, shining bright.

Yellow means go safe and slow.
Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light,
On the corner, shining bright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
