Parents:
Good morning families! I was able to get materials/school supplies to all 16 of your houses yesterday. It made my heart so happy and left my heart feeling so full of love to be able to see you and your children! Please remember to supervise your kids while they’re using these items (especially the scissors) to help them make sure they’re taking care of the materials so they last them from now through the middle of June when “school” is finished.
Kids:
I have a big announcement for you! Mrs. Laurus is getting a puppy today! I am VERY excited about this and I cannot WAIT to show you guys pictures of him! I’ll be sure to post some pictures here tomorrow for you. 🙂
Language, Literacy and Communication:
We are still working on learning about the letter Aa. Today we are going to focus on the sounds letter Aa makes. I made you a video using the Aa tub from school to show you some things that start with the Aa sound. Check it out!
Here is a video of our letter song we sing at school for the letter Aa.
After you finish watching these videos, you are going to go on a scavenger hunt through your house to find things that start with the Aa sound. After you’re done collecting your items, have your grown up send me a picture of you with your Aa things on Remind.
I also have a story for you today! Check it out…
Math and Science:
Yesterday for science we made a rainbow. Today, we are going to use rainbow colors for learning about math. Since you like going on hunts to find things… we are going to go on a rainbow hunt! I want you to look for toys or other things that are the different colors of the rainbow. You can choose which colors of the rainbow you are going to look for, but make sure you pick at least four different colors. Some ideas of colors you can choose are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink. Once you decide which colors to search for, we are going to use our observation skills to sort them into groups. In science we call this “classifying”.
Once you have your items sorted into your groups, we are going to COUNT how many items you have of each color. Once you count all your groups, talk to a grown up about which group has the most (biggest) number of items…. which group has the least (smallest) number of items…. and if any of your groups are equal (the same) number of items.
Don’t forget to have your grown up take a picture of your groups and send them to me on Remind.
Friends!
