How many things can you find in your house that begin with the letter Mm?
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?”)
Assignment
I have seen so many flowers popping up in my neighborhood now that the weather has been warm! I planted flower seeds in a pot on my back deck and they are starting to sprout. I can’t wait to see what color flowers they grow into!
1.In our story today we read about planting a rainbow, so we are going to work on writing our colors. Take your sidewalk chalk outside and practice writing the colors of the rainbow! If the weather is yucky you can use crayons or markers inside. Try to write:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
- Black
- Brown
2.For math today we are going to play follow me! Have your brother/sister/mom/dad do a motion like 5 jumping jacks and you copy them. Parents you could write a number on your whiteboard and they have to do the action that many times. Here are some ideas.
- Hop on one leg 3 times
- Hop on both legs 20 times
- Crawl for 1 minute
- 6 pushups
- Do 4 somersaults
- Clap 15 times
3. Read together for 20 minutes.
4. Get outside and go for a walk or play in your backyard! If you can’t, get your body moving with some Cosmic Kids yoga.
Have a great day!
