Writing and Science!
Field trip today! Watch this video of a zoo in Australia! After you finish the video, draw and write about your favorite animal. What does it look like? Where does it live? What does it like to eat?
Math
Using the dice you made yesterday, roll one dice and find the matching number on the other dice! Challenge: you need 6 pennies, paper and a pencil! Once you match the numbers, count out that many pennies and write the number word. Example: If you roll a five, find the other dice with the number 5 on it, count out five pennies and write the word five!

WORK/PLAY TIME
5 to 10 Minutes | Plan for Work Time (Playtime): Build your child’s ability to organize their time by having them make a “plan” with you about what they would like to play with. Children do this everyday with us at school. It helps children learn to organize their thoughts. They will tell you what they are planning to do/want to play with/how they will use toys at home. (“I want to work with blocks-I am going to build a tower and knock it down.”)التخطيط لوقت العمل ( وقت اللعب): ساعد طفلك على بناء مهارة تنظيم الوقت بوضع خطة معهم عن لعبهم. هذا ما كان يفعله كل الطلاب كل يوم في المدرسة. هذا يساعد الأولاد على تنظيم أفكارهم. الأهل أيضا يضعون خطط دائما لتنظيم أفكارهم مثل قائمة التسوق قبل الذهاب إلى المتجر, كتابة القوائم تساعد على تنظيم اليوم….. الأولاد سوف يخبروكم ما هي خطتهم/ ماذا سيلعبون/ مع من سيلعبون/ ماذا سيستخدمون من أدوات في لعبهم. |
1 hr | Worktime/Kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create. They use their imaginations and play as they choose.وقت العمل : يجب أن لا يستعمل الأولاد الإلكترونيات . يستطيع الأولاد استخدام الألعاب التي تساعدهم في التخيل و البناء و الإبداع |
15 min | Clean Up: Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing.وقت التنظيف: ينظف الأولاد الفوضى التي نتجت عن لعبهم. |
5 to 10 min | Recall: Build your child’s memory of events by having your child tell you what they did while they played (ask “tell me how you did that” or “what did you do next?”) وقت التذكر: بناء ذاكرة الأولاد و مراجعة الأحداث عن طريق جعل طفلك يعيد سرد ما قام به خلال وقت اللعب( اسال طفلك: اخبرني كيف قمت بذلك؟ أو ماذا فعلت بعد ذلك؟) |
