Reminders: Please submit your participation for attendance via email. This can be a picture of you doing an activity to share with your friends, providing an answer to a question that was in the morning meeting, or just checking in to share something you and your child did. When we come to the rug to begin our day we play the song Rise and Shine by Dr. Jean. The children know this means to clean up what they are doing at the tables and come to the rug. If you want to play the song to begin our learning time you can! Here is a link to the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyAD2OoFuoY Your child is invited to watch our virtual morning meeting by clicking the following image: What is the weather outside today? Our weather helper always goes to the window to look outside before answering this! We look up in the sky to see what we see - is it cloudy, partially cloudy, sunny, windy, foggy, rainy? Following circle time we exit to centers where we also run our small group lessons/activities. The following are activities you can try today! Activity #1: Circle / Color in the pictures of items that begin with the letter S. (Yesterday I made the mistake of listing this instead of coloring in the letter S on the letter hunt. So today, do whichever you have not completed yet!) Activity #2: Practice writing the letter S. As we are coming back through our letters we are focusing more on shrinking them down to fit in the lines. Talk about how the lowercase letter s fits below the dotted line but the uppercase letter S goes from the top line to the bottom line. When your student has finished tracing and writing their letter Ss have them draw something that begins with the letter S in the open space. Activity #3: Sort the baggie of letters, pictures and words and glue some down to their section on the piece of paper. Talk about how words are more than one letter coming together to say something and how this is different than just one letter. For my 5 day students: I had prepared materials for Friday of this week prior to the decision being made that it would be a Teacher Planning Day. There will be no post tomorrow but your child can do the snowman ordering activity as a bonus activity if they would like. Since there will be no video they would not be able to do the characters for the story retell. Finger Gym (Fine Motor) Activity: You have been given a small bag of water beads. Water beads have to soak in water for 24-48 hours to grow and soak up water to their full size. Choose a larger container that you can pour your beads into that will provide plenty of room for them to grow. Then fill it with a good amount of water - it will surprise you how much they can soak up! Keep in mind that water beads expand to be the size of a blueberry (or a little bit bigger). So even though it may look like you are not putting a lot in your container, once they expand you will have much more than you expect. Once your water beads have grown, use materials you have at home to help sort them by color. Tweezers, tongs, measuring spoons or cups, or even your fingers if you do not have these available. Remember our goal is to have fun while strengthening our fine motor skills. Art Activity: Decorate the blank mitten that might help keep us warm in the winter months! You could make it look like a mitten you have OR design your own new one! Name Activities: Name Mat - Your child can use this opportunity daily to practice writing their name if they are still working on it. They first touch each red dot under the letters at the top and spell their name. They then use their dry erase marker to trace over the yellow name. Then they write their name by putting a letter on each line. Name Cubes - This is a quick way for your child to practice spelling their name. First take the name apart and mix up the cubes. Have them build their name and then spell it for you. Mindfulness Lesson: (Weeklong activity - you could do this each day, or choose one day to do it) Watch This Video for our weekly mindfulness activity. This activity is also located in your folder for the day, along with review from last week’s introduction of mindfulness. Additional ABC time: Have your child sing the ABCs with you and point along to the letters. Choose uppercase or lowercase, or do both. If you would like to print this board here is a link:

In class we have been using a hole puncher to strengthen our hand muscles. However, I understand that you may not have one at home so this can also be completed by coloring in the boxes of the letter F. Make sure they are finding both uppercase and lowercase. When they are done, I always let them color the center picture if they want to. Activity #3: Pick a book and read it to a stuffed animal at your house! Remember that you can use pictures to help you read the story. Enjoy some Christmas music fun from a couple of our favorite artists!
Finger Gym (Fine Motor) Activity: (Extra choice for the week for any point during the week.) Glue the sequins (these are in the baggie in the OTHER section - they may be candy canes or other fun shapes) onto the line on the Christmas tree! Art Activity: (Extra choice for any point during the week) Decorate the circle ornament however you would like. You can even add it to your tree at home when you’re done.

This can be a picture of you doing an activity to share with your friends, providing an answer to a question that was in the morning meeting, or just checking in to share something you and your child did. When we come to the rug to begin our day we play the song Rise and Shine by Dr. Jean. The children know this means to clean up what they are doing at the tables and come to the rug. If you want to play the song to begin our learning time you can! Here is a link to the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyAD2OoFuoY Your child is invited to watch our virtual morning meeting by clicking the following image: What is the weather outside today? Our weather helper always goes to the window to look outside before answering this! We look up in the sky to see what we see - is it cloudy, partially cloudy, sunny, windy, foggy, rainy?
Following circle time we exit to centers where we also run our small group lessons/activities. The following are activities you can try today! Activity #1: Write the letter F. Please have your child first practice writing the letter F on the letter F sheet that was sent home. Have them start at the dot and follow the numbered arrow to shape the letter. Please have them do all various sizes of the letter to practice and become more familiar with how it is formed. Once they complete this sheet, open up their journal to today’s date. Have them practice writing the F independently in their journal. They do NOT have to write in the lines. They can write larger since this will probably be easier for them. Have them practice both uppercase and then lowercase. Activity #2: Play the sweater guessing game! Read your child the clues for the sweater you are describing. Have them look at the picture to match it to the description. Write down your answer. When you get through all of them, help them check if they are right! Activity #3: Color your candy cane! You can use crayons, markers, paint, etc to copy the red/white candy cane pattern. Attach the small poem to it that goes along with today’s story. Finger Gym (Fine Motor) Activity: (Extra choice for the week for any point during the week.) Glue the sequins (these are in the baggie in the OTHER section - they may be candy canes or other fun shapes) onto the line on the Christmas tree! Art Activity: (Extra choice for any point during the week) Decorate the circle ornament however you would like. You can even add it to your tree at home when you’re done. Name Activities: Name Mat - Your child can use this opportunity daily to practice writing their name if they are still working on it. They first touch each red dot under the letters at the top and spell their name. They then use their dry erase marker to trace over the yellow name. Then they write their name by putting a letter on each line. Name Cubes - This is a quick way for your child to practice spelling their name. First take the name apart and mix up the cubes. Have them build their name and then spell it for you. Mindfulness Lesson: (Weeklong activity - you could do this each day, or choose one day to do it) Watch This Video for our weekly mindfulness activity. This activity is also located in your folder for the day, along with review from last week’s introduction of mindfulness. Additional ABC time: Have your child sing the ABCs with you and point along to the letters. Choose uppercase or lowercase, or do both!
