Hello everyone!
Today we will be doing a sequencing activity! It will be to a favorite song The Itsy Bitsy Spider. Attached is a file that you can print. If you do not have a printer you could draw or talk about the pictures on your device you are using for these activities.
Hi everyone!
Today we will be working on patterns. Patterns are important because they help your children make predictions, understand what comes next, and how to make logical connections. There are several types of patterns AB (red,yellow,red yellow), ABB (red, yellow, yellow, red, yellow, yellow), AAB (red, red, yellow, red, red, yellow), ABC (red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue)
Attached below are examples of patterns. At home you could just make circles and color them in with crayons. If you have pattern bears that would be great and you could also use pencil to make simple shape patterns.
Hello everyone
I miss you all and hope everyone is staying healthy.
Today’s activity is fun, messy, and one of our favorites in the classroom.
Take shaving cream and put it on your table. Have your child practice writing their names. Make sure to use a capital letter at the beginning
Looking for a fun sensory activity? Try making jello playdough! It smells amazing and it is so smooth. This may be my favorite playdough we have ever made!
Here is what you will need:
Mix all the ingredients together and cook over low on the stove. Stir frequently. I used a whisk to get rid of the clumps and then cooked for 5-7 minutes, stirring with a spatula. Once the dough starts to gather together into a ball and doesn’t stick to you, then you can take it off the stove. After it cools for a minute, knead it on a cutting board. That’s all you do!

Here are some virtual field trips. The Cincinnati Zoo comes on each day at 3:00 on Facebook LIVE and introduces you to a new animal and feeds them.

Offering your child choices throughout the day is a great way to work on their communication skills. When a child has choices they feel like they have control over a situation and also feel like they are in charge. Start small by offering your child two choices in different ways throughout the day. Some simple ways you can work on this at home include:
Hello everyone,

One of our goals in math is to count. Let’s make it fun by using fruit loops to count, sort and then practice patterning.
Have your child count as how many Fruit Loops are on the plate
You can practice sorting the Fruit Loops into separate color piles
Pick two colors and make a pattern
(if I know they need additional activity)
Try making this pattern
or a pattern with three colors
Teachers have provided daily on-line enrichment activities for students to complete while we are out of school. It has been brought to my attention, that we have some students who do not have access to a computer, tablet, or phone device to participate in these activities. With support from Dearborn Schools, we are extending an opportunity for our students with this need to borrow a Chromebook from Howe School until we return from the shutdown.
Chromebooks will be made available for drive-through pick-up on Friday, March 20 from 9:00-11:00 under the Ann Arbor Trail canopy at Howe School.
At this time we can only provide 1 Chromebook per family to be shared by all Howe students in the family.
You will need to have access to wireless internet or a hotspot to use the Chromebook in your home
A parent MUST be present and sign a copy of this form to receive a Chromebook. The form will be provided at pick-up. Please read for more information.
If you would like to borrow a Chromebook, please complete this form. This will help us to facilitate the process and ensure availability. Remember, you will need to have access to wireless internet or a hot spot to use the Chromebook in your household.
If you have questions regarding Chromebook Lending contact Ms. Fournier at fournit@dearbornschools.org.
