Good Morning!
Good Morning Parents and Students, today is Tuesday!
This week our letter is Uu, what things start with the U sound?
Can you draw the letter U in the air?
Exercise
Today is a beautiful day outside, just throw on a light jacket! Ms. Stafiej is taking JoAnne and Crunch for a nice long walk. What will you do outside? Ride your bike in the backyard, play tag with your siblings, play hopscotch, etc!
Academic Activity
Today’s activity is Sink or Float!
A fun science experiment that is super easy to set up!
You can do this on a big scale in the sink or bathtub, or on a small scale like in this clear container. Which ever you choose… fill it with water 
and find some objects to test (see a list below of what we included!).
***The most important part? The conversations! More dense (sink), less dense (float)!
Before dropping in an item, ask your kiddo what they think will happen with each item. 
Objects ideas: Cotton Ball, Crayon, Paper Clip, Rubberband, Leaves, Flowers, Ball, Spoon, Rock, Pencil
Use your own chart similar to this one to keep track of which items float and which sink.
Add up how many of each and compare the numbers.
Did more items sink or float?
Creative & Literacy Time
–Write about your science experiment from above….
-Which items float?
-Which items sink?

Lunch Time
Remember to eat your fruits and vegetables <3 Ms. Stafiej is having soup with vegetables!
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؟) |
