Letter of the Week

We’re learning about the letter Cc this week, capital and lowercase c’s look the same but are different sizes! Capital C is a big curve and lowercase c is a small curve. The letter C says the sound “kah” like coconut, car, and cradle.

Walk around your house and count the number of things that begin with the letter Cc. How many did you find?! Take a picture of something you found that begins with the letter Cc and send it to me!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

What did you notice was different about this reading than yesterday? Have your child tell you three differences they noticed. Some examples might be:

• Yesterday the words were on the page.
• Today a man is reading the story.
• This is the author and yesterday a teacher was reading the book.

Counting

Since it is Ramadan let’s look at a Calendar…

When did Ramadan begin (April 24th) and when is the Eid (May 23rd)? Count how many days there are during Ramadan.

Work Time

Planning Time (5 minutes): 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. 

Work Time (45-60 minutes): During work time kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS.  Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create.

Clean Up (about 15 minutes):  Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing.

Recall Time (5 minutes): 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?”)

Make sure to get outside and enjoy the weather!

Have a great day!
