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..).
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?”)

Now that you’ve listened to the story, draw and write about your own windy day!
2. Math: Check the weather and fill in the graph you made yesterday.
3. Have you ever wondered how a rainbow is formed?
We’re going to be scientists and complete an experiment! To begin, use a strip of paper towel, and color the bottom of it like a rainbow with markers.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3. Watch what happens!
Challenge: Do it again, but color BOTH ends of a new piece of paper towel. Stick both ends in their own cups of water and watch them race to the middle!

5. Movement: Rainbow breath: this is a calming down activity!
Have a great day!
