Parents:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good morning families! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you believe it’s almost June!? I am having a hard time believing it myself. This is the time of the school year when things start to get difficult on parents (and teachers!) When the weather turns beautiful… and gets hot outside… the kids kind of check out. Their brain does not want to engage as much and you might be noticing they are fighting with you about doing school work. I promise you, you’re not alone in this! I am having the same challenge with my kids at home as well. Not to mention, this is also very typical behavior at this time of the school year in the classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bright side?? We’re almost done! The finish line is in sight! So stick with me… power through… and I promise you will be glad you did! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week is a short week since yesterday was a day off from school. Let your kids know they only have “3 school days” this week to get through and that should help motivate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also please make sure to log your kids in to Happy Numbers today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a reminder of the Daily Activity without screens that is important to do every day as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good morning friends! I hope you all got to spend a lot of time outside these past four days we haven’t had online school. It has been very hot, but also great to be outside and enjoying the fresh air and sunshine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Language, Literacy & Communication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today we have a new letter to learn! We are going to learn about the letter Nn. When you’re practicing making the sound for the letter Nn, make sure you keep your lips NOT touching and that your grown up can see your teeth while you’re making the sound. If you lips are touching, you’re making the letter Mm sound instead. Check out this letter Nn video today!
5 to 10 Minutes<\/td>Plan for Work Time (playtime):<\/strong> Build your child\u2019s ability to organize their time by having them make a \u201cplan\u201d 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. <\/td><\/tr>
1 hr.<\/td>Work time\/Kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS<\/strong> Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create.<\/td><\/tr>
15 min<\/td>Clean Up: Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing. If you notice your child making too big of a mess during play, it\u2019s ok to remind them to clean up what they have already finished using before they move on to the next part of their plan.<\/td><\/tr>
5 to 10 min <\/td>Recall: Build your child\u2019s memory of events by having your child tell you what they did while they played (ask \u201ctell me how you did that\u201d or \u201cwhat did you do next?\u201d)<\/td><\/tr> Lunch <\/td> Prepare lunch: have your child help you prepare lunch. They can help with cooking\/setting table- whatever seems appropriate for the meal time. At school the children normally assist with putting plates and utensils on the table as well as scooping their own food onto their plates and passing the food bowls to one another.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
