Learning Activities for Wednesday, April 29th

Office Hours

My office hours will be 3-6pm Monday-Thursday. This is the time I will be answering emails, responding to Remind messages, making phone calls, etc. If you message me earlier in the day I will reply between 3-6pm. If you message me after 6pm I will reply the next day between 3-6pm.

School Supplies

I was able to get into our classroom to collect supplies for the children, yay!😁 I made up 16 supply bags and plan on delivering them to everyone’s houses by the end of the day today. I know during Ramadan many families are sleeping later because of fasting, so please do not stay up/wake up to wait for me! If you see me on your porch please just wave from the window. I do not want to expose anyone to unnecessary germs. I put as many things in the bags as I could think of that your children might need for school work at home. There is also a special book with a message from Ms. Thabet and I. ❤

Homeschool Heroes

Writing the letter R, collecting things that begin with the letter R, and creating a map for Little Red Riding Hood!

Letter of the Week

Work Time

Turn off those screens and play with some toys, color, paint, anything you can think of!

Planning Time (5 minutes): 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. 

Work Time (45-60 minutes): During work time kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS.  Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create.

Clean Up (about 15 minutes):  Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing.

Recall Time (5 minutes): 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?”)
