Dear Parents,
I hope this message finds you all safe and well. As you may already know we will continue are remote learning through our previously scheduled time off. We will continue our class meetings as well as use our flip grid activities.
We hope you all have a Blessed holiday no matter what your religious affiliation is.
Our activity suggestions for the week:
Fine Motor - This week try a different tool you may find at home like glue - Glueing single items on a paper. For example, cut up small pieces of paper or use small items like sequins or pieces of pasta and let your child create a piece of art by pasting each item one at a time.
Gross Motor - The weather will hopefully continue to get better - be outside and stay a safe distance from others! Walk, run, jump, hop. Play a game like hop scotch. Remember young kids need to move their bodies!
Language - This week try and play this game with your child. Write the letters of their first name on a separate piece of paper each. Then choose a room in the house like their bedroom, or the kitchen. Have your child find an object that begins with each of those letters.
Mathematics - As we have mentioned before, many household chores require math skills (sorting laundry or setting the table) This week see if you can incorporate your child in the preparation of our food. You can do this by having them involved by measuring items, or mixing items, or counting things out, following the recipe, retrieving ingredients for a recipe, etc.
Science - This week try some sinking float activity. Fill the bath tub with water. (doesn't have to be more than a few inches of water across the tub) have your child pick a 3 items and you pick 3 items and have them test whether you think it will sink or float. Have your child draw a picture of the items that floated, Can they guess why they floated instead of sank?
Social Studies - Lets dress up and make believe! This week its imagine we are postal workers. Lets make a card or write a letter to a family member we haven't been able to see and teach them how to mail it!
Stay Safe and Well!
