Parents:
Good morning families! Yesterday would have been our class field trip to the Detroit Zoo. It would have been such a beautiful day to have spent outdoors, learning about animals with you and your children.
Today, it appears the weather is going to be yucky and rainy… so we are going to have our own little virtual zoo field trip!
The Cincinnati Zoo has been doing “Home Safaris” on YouTube. I chose a few of their videos for your children to watch today. These videos touch on all areas of learning: Language & Communication, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I will warn you the videos are lengthy for preschool aged children. If your child loses interest in a video after 5-10, that’s ok! Come back later to a different video and spend 5-10 minutes on that one.
I am going to put 4 videos on here. I would LOVE if everyone can watch all 4 videos (NOT all at one time) sometime today. At a minimum though, I’d like your child to watch two of the videos before doing their writing. As always, don’t forget to send me a picture today!
Kids:
Good morning! Today we are going to be learning about animals! I have four different animal videos for you to watch.
This first one starts with our letter of the week: Letter Kk! Check out this Komodo Dragon!
After you watch the videos of the Komodo Dragon, the Giraffe, the Hippo and the Porcupine, I want you to write a story about your favorite one!
Grab your journal and your crayons I brought to your house… don’t forget to make your line! Above your line, draw the animal you liked learning about the most. Under your line, write your words for your story about your animal. When you’re finished, tell your grown up your story and have them write it at the bottom. Don’t forget to send me a picture of your story today!
Friends!
