Dear Parents,
Happy Tuesday and today is Cinco de Mayo!

Yesterday I spent time recording some videos for lessons with your children. I will continue to do this for the remainder of our time together virtually <3
This week is Teacher Appreciation week! Ms. Abdellah and I have been so thankful to be your child’s teachers this year.
I know it has been a hectic year since school has closed and you have taken on more roles than ever before. I want to say THANK YOU for your role as a teacher at home making sure your child is meeting their educational goals. There is no way this would work without YOU! So thank you for all that you are doing…
Good Morning!

Lunch Time
Remember to eat your fruits and vegetables <3 Ms. Stafiej is having vegetable soup!
Chore Time
Clean your spot after lunch, help to wash the dishes, clean up your toys and your room.
Quiet Time
Children have time to relax and “charge” their bodies. If your child doesn’t normally nap at home, they can read stories or do a quiet activity of your choice (no screens please!)
Work Time
| 5 to 10 minutes | Plan for Work Time: 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. التخطيط لوقت العمل ( وقت اللعب): ساعد طفلك على بناء مهارة تنظيم الوقت بوضع خطة معهم عن لعبهم. هذا ما كان يفعله كل الطلاب كل يوم في المدرسة. هذا يساعد الأولاد على تنظيم أفكارهم. الأهل أيضا يضعون خطط دائما لتنظيم أفكارهم مثل قائمة التسوق قبل الذهاب إلى المتجر, كتابة القوائم تساعد على تنظيم اليوم….. الأولاد سوف يخبروكم ما هي خطتهم/ ماذا سيلعبون/ مع من سيلعبون/ ماذا سيستخدمون من أدوات في لعبهم |
| 1 hour | Work Time: Kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS. Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create. وقت العمل : يجب أن لا يستعمل الأولاد الإلكترونيات . يستطيع الأولاد استخدام الألعاب التي تساعدهم في التخيل و البناء و الإبداع |
| 15 minutes | Clean Up Time: Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing. وقت التنظيف: ينظف الأولاد الفوضى التي نتجت عن لعبهم. |
| 5 to 10 minutes | Recall Time: 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?”) وقت التذكر: بناء ذاكرة الأولاد و مراجعة الأحداث عن طريق جعل طفلك يعيد سرد ما قام به خلال وقت اللعب( اسال طفلك: اخبرني كيف قمت بذلك؟ أو ماذا فعلت بعد ذلك؟) |
Movement Activity
Make an indoor stationary bike! Use adult shoes under the training wheels so the child can pedal. A great way for your child to let out their energy while indoors 🙂
Sing a Long
Ms. Duncanson from McDonald Elementary School will show us how to sing Lady Lady Lullaby!
