Parents:
Good morning families! Yesterday we worked on personal safety and part of our “community helpers” theme. I received many videos of your children practicing their name, your name, where they live and their phone numbers. Please know, your children should continue to practice being able to recite this information to you daily – at least until you feel confident they have it completely memorized without error. With my children, we practice this in the car when we are out driving to do errands or visit with our family.
Today we are going to continue our “community helpers” theme by talking about construction workers and builders.
You will need to print out the pages for today’s physical movement activity with the link below.
Kids:
Good morning friends! Today we are going to talk about construction workers and builders. Before we get into that though, let’s do some work with our letter of the week: Mm.
Language, Literacy & Communication:
Today we are going to pretend to be builders while we build our letters! I made a video to show you how to do this.
When you build your letter, have your grown up take a picture and send it to me on Remind.
Our story today is about construction/building. I hope you like it!
Math:
For this activity, you are going to need to find different types of boxes (or other items you can stack together) around your house. Here are a few ideas of things you can use:
- boxes from your recycling bin (Amazon boxes, delivery boxes)
- food boxes from your cupboard (cereal, mac and cheese, noodles)
- cans from your cupboard (fruit, vegetables, soup)
- plastic food storage containers
- plastic cups
Once you have found all the things you’re going to build with, you are going to create a big building! Let’s see how tall of a building you can make! Is your building taller than you? Or is it shorter than you? Can you make it taller without it falling down? When your building is complete, have your grown up take a picture of you standing next to it so I can see how tall it is and send it to me on Remind.
Physical Movement:
The weather outside has been extra yucky the past couple of days. By now I’m sure you all need to do some moving and exercising to keep your body healthy and strong. Have your grown up print out these pages I made for you. When you have them all, you can lay them on the floor in a long line, move to each paper one at a time and do the excercise it shows you to do. Have fun!
