There’s a new program that will pay up to $500 in utility costs for Michigan’s essential workers. THAW, or The Heat and Warm Fund, will pay up to $500 in utility assistance for any household with an income up to 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. Following the Department of Homeland Security’s definition of an essential worker, if you’re a health care nurse, hospital cleaning and maintenance worker, grocery and food service clerk, or bus driver, you qualify.

Literacy/Science: Watch this video on the life cycle of a butterfly
After have your child design their own butterfly, they can draw one, make one out of materials around the house, etc. be creative! For an additional learning opportunity, they can write a story about their butterfly! Send me all the pictures!! I can’t wait to see what the kids come up with!
Math: Pattern Caterpillars https://www.themailbox.com/magazines/pattern-stripsbr-2-pages/caterpillars-5696#%2F5696
IF you have a printer you could print these out, or just simply draw some caterpillars similar to these on some paper for your child.
Start a pattern for your child, and have them finish it. You could use, fruit loops, crayons, markers, etc. A pattern should repeat.
Example patterns: red, blue, red, blue ….
Red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue …
Red, red, blue, blue, red, red, blue, blue …
red , blue, green, red, blue, green …
You may also invite your child to make up their own pattern!
Work 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. Adults make plans all the time to organize their thoughts (shopping lists are made before going to the grocery store, to do lists are made to help plan your day etc..). Kids will tell you what they are planning to do/want to play with/how they will use toys at home. 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. | Work Time: Kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create.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. |
| 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؟) |
| Lunch or Dinner | Prepare lunch: have your child help you prepare lunch. They can help with cooking/setting tables- whatever seems appropriate for the meal time.تجهيز وجبة الطعام: اعط الفرصة لطفلك بمساعدتك بتجهيز الغداء. الأولاد يستطيعون المساعدة بالطبخ/ تجهيز الطاولة- |

Today’s Activities!!
Math and Literacy: Read the hungry caterpillar today. Link to book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75NQK-Sm1YY
Help your child cut out 20 circles. Use paper, paper plates, etc. Once the circles are cut, have them write the numbers 1 through 20, with a number on each circle. Next they should put them in order from 1-20. If you have glue then glue them together into a number caterpillar! Feel free to have them add a circle for a face when they are done, make legs out of the scrap pieces of paper. Need a challenge? Have your child also put the correct number of dots on the circle with the number. Need it to be easier? Make the circles and numbers for your child and then work with them to arrange them in order. Caterpillars could be 1-10, 1-20 etc.
Example below: This is just an example, your child can be creative and use what you have!
