We have another Number Monster and some Shape Sorting from yesterday’s activity! Thank you for sharing your pictures.
We’re focusing on the letter Qq this week, remember Qq makes the sound “quah” like queen and quack!
Lower case q can be tricky for young children to recognize at first because it is very similar to lowercase b,d, and p. Here is a fun way to help children remember the differences.
Today we’re going to think about the differences between healthy and unhealthy foods. Does anyone else feel like they’re snacking more now that we’re home all day? (I know I am!) What you eat affects how you think and feel. It is important that we remember to choose healthy foods so our bodies and brains can grow strong!
Listen to the story and draw a picture of Gregory eating a healthy food. Try to write Gregory’s name and the name of the food he is eating. Parents can help with spelling, but please make sure your child is writing on their own.
Now it’s your turn to decide what kind of foods are healthy or unhealthy! Look through your kitchen and make one pile of healthy food and one pile of unhealthy food. Send me a picture of the foods you found!
Which things do you usually eat more? Try to choose two healthy snacks today when you feel hungry!
Have a greay day!
Our letter of the week is Qq. This letter can be tricky because the capital and lowercase look different. What are three differences you notice between the capital Q and lowercase q?
This is another one of our re-aloud books that we have read in class. Your child should be able to tell the story as they go.
Today we’re going to work on some shapes! The three shapes we will look for are square, triangle, and rectangle.
First, draw or mark out an area for your child to place items/toys like this:
The goal is for your child to go around the house and collect items that are squares, rectangles, and triangles. They can draw pictures if the items are too large or heavy (ex. A door or tv). When they find the items have them say the name and count the sides.
As they find the shapes and count the sides, have your child place the item in the corresponding shape mat you made like this:
When you’re done send me a picture so I can see all of your shapes and share it on our blog tomorrow!
Have a great day!
I hope you all had a nice week of rest. I had fun with my kids and doing stuff around the house as well as spending as much time as possible outside! The teachers had a meeting this morning on Google Meets so I didn’t get this posted as early as I wanted. Sorry about that. Here it is….
Our letter of the week is Qq. Q says the sound “quah” like Queen and quack. Can you think of five words that start with the letter Q?
PBS kids has a great collection of age appropriate games, stories, and videos for preschool children. Click the link below and spend some time exploring the website with your child!
Today we are going to work on recognizing and naming the numbers 1-6 by making math monsters!
What you’ll need:
Directions:
Next, have your child roll the dice or choose a number card. For each number that they pull, your child will add a body part according to this list:
Roll or pull a number card at least 10 times, but you can do more if you want! When you are done color your picture and give your monster a name. Have your child try to write the name on their paper. Parents can help with spelling, but please make sure your child is the one writing the name.
When you are done send me a picture of your monster through Class Dojo so I can see them and share the pictures on our class blog tomorrow!
A few parents have sent pictures and I love seeing the kids. I’m sure they would love seeing each other as well.
I can’t wait to see all your silly math monsters!
Have a great day!
It’s Friday so we’re taking a virtual field trip! Today we’re going to explore the San Diego Zoo. Click the link below to get started. When you are finished exploring the website draw/write about something new you learned. Take a picture of your drawing and send it to me so I can see it!
Next week, April 6- 10 is our scheduled spring break. I will not be uploading any lessons during this time, please enjoy the week with your family to relax and recharge.
Have a great week!!
Here is a link to a Children’s Story on Social Distancing. This is a strange time for all of us. This may help children to understand and know that this is what everyone should be doing right now.
Today’s activity is to think like an inventor! Go around your house, backyard, and/or neighborhood and find the things on the list below. Take pictures and send them to me so I can see what you found!
Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine!
Hi Pre-K Families,
Please take a minute to complete this quick survey. It is from our school Social Worker, Mrs. Lull. She is trying to find out if any of our families have any needs financially, emotionally, etc. There are also a couple of fun links included in the survey. It will only take a couple of minutes to fill out.
Good morning families!
I hope everyone is still remembering to get outside for fresh air every day. I know my kids have been enjoying riding their bikes up and down the street and also playing in our backyard on the swingset.
For today, I am including a story video. This is a story we have read in class before called “Is Your Mama a Llama”.
For today’s activity, have your child watch the story. When the story is over, they can make a picture of the people in their family. Talk with your child about what is the same and what is different about the people in their picture. For example, in my family myself and my son Nikolas have brown eyes… but Mr. Lott and my daughter Alexandria have blue eyes. Also, me and Nikolas and Mr. Lott have brown straight hair, Alexandria has blonde straight hair. Another example is Mr. Lott and Nikolas are boys, while Alexandria and I are girls. Be sure to keep use the words “same” and “different” as you and your child talk about their picture.
Letter K
Can you think of some friends in our classroom who have the letter K in their name? Here’s a list, how many K’s can you find?!
Have a great day!
Wow! Today is the last day of March! I am encouraging you to try to get outside everyday but also, please know that we are not allowed to play on the playgrounds. They are not safe right now.
Dearborn Public Schools is reminding people that during the state ordered shelter-at-home period, visitors are NOT allowed on our playground equipment or fields. Stay Home, Stay Safe. Read the memo at https://firstbell.dearbornschools.org/2020/03/27/district-reminds-residents-to-stay-off-school-playgrounds-fields/
March is Reading Month so let’s get lots of reading in to finish it off with lots of district staff reading for March is Reading Month. Click on each link to hear the stories.
This week we are working on the letter Kk. Did you notice that the letter K is made up of three straight lines? “Big line, little line, little line”.
Today we are learning about rhyming words. Words that rhyme, sound the same at the end. For example: cat, hat, mat, sat.
Listen to the Dr. Seuss story, The Cat in the Hat
Have a great day!
