Morning Message
Good Morning Parents and Students, Mrs. Abdellah and I hope you had a wonderful weekend!
Today is Monday!
Who remembers our letter from last week? Vv!
We are going to review 2 letters a day now since we have already covered each letter at least once 🙂
We will start with A and B… do you remember what sound those letters make?
Exercise
Head outside with a jacket for a nice walk around the block with an adult. Ms. Stafiej is going to take the dogs for a walk around the block too!
Academic Activities
We are talking about Ladybugs today! Watch the lifecycle video below. What do you notice? Does this remind you of any other insects?
Literacy Activity
- Listen to the story “The Grouchy Ladybug” by Eric Carle
- Use your journal and crayons to draw 3 things you remember from the story
- What was the Ladybug looking for?
- What happened to the Ladybug?
- Send a picture of your story to Ms. Stafiej
Math Activity
- Draw the lady bugs and write numbers for your child to match
- Have your child write the corresponding dots for each ladybug
- When your child is adding the dots, ask the following questions…
- What number is that?
- How do you know?
- How many dots do you still need?
- How many dots have you drawn so far?
- How many dots do you have on one side, how many more do you need to add to this side?
- Is there another way to draw the dots? (for example: 3+3 =6 but 2+4=6 too!)
Is 1 to 7 too easy?
**Need a challenge? Try 1 through 10 or 1 through 15.
*** Need another challenge? See if you can find different combinations of dots for the same numbers. (for example: 3+3 =6 but 2+4=6 too!)
Lunch Time
Remember to eat your fruits and vegetables <3 Ms. Stafiej is having spaghetti with green beans.
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؟) |
