Good Morning KG1 B - Happy Sunday :)
I love you ritual-
______________________________________________________________
Activity 1 - Literacy (20 minutes)
Words their way- Letter recognition (If you do not have a printer at home, please write down the letters on a piece of paper then have your child cut and sort out the letters.)
Beginning:
Today, we will be revisiting some of the letter’s you’ve learnt in class. We will be looking at the letter L, K and O.
Middle:
-Let us think of some words which begin with the letter L, K and O. (Give your child some time to come up with words.)
You may:
- Suggest some words e.g.
- /L/ for lion, lamb, light, leg and lettuce!
- /K/ for kangaroo, koala, king, kite
- /O/ for octopus, owl, orange, olive, ocean
-Ask them to identify each letter and cut the letters (either from page above or the ones you have written).
-Ask them to paste the upper and lowercase letters under the correct column (template attached).
(Or you may fold a paper in half and write on the top lowercase and uppercase on the other side)
-On the last page, ask them to write out the letters.
-Extension- On the back side or separate white piece of paper, they may draw out pictures of objects starting with the letters L, K and O.
End: Give your child a 5 minute notice. Ask them to clean up the paper scraps and put back the materials in their places. Send a picture of their finished work to the teacher via email.

Activity 2 Fine motor skills (10) minutes
Q-tip Finger Press
Materials needed: Q-tips and paint. Q-tips can be substituted by using the eraser end of a pencil also.
Beginning:
Today, we will be creating an artwork using dots! You have some pots of paint and Q-tips in front of you.
Use one Q-tip for each color (3-4 colors) and think of what you would like to paint today.
Middle:
Once your child has decided what to paint, ask them to dip the Q-tips into the paint and get started.
They may use one color, all the colors or even mix the colors of paint!
You may ask them:
- Which colors have you decided to use? If they mix the colors- ask them to predict the colors which will come out.
- What happens if you press the Q-tip softly or strongly into the paint? Does it affect how much paint you can get on your Q-tip?
- Acknowledge their artwork and their choices
- How can they make lines with their Q- tips. (They may choose to draw dotted lines or use long strokes to make lines)
Extension: Include pictures with letter O or objects from around the house.
End: Give your child a 5 minute notice for ending the activity. Encourage them to clean up the materials they have used.
Would they like to send a picture of their artwork to the teacher to put up on the blog?
Activity 3 Math (5 minutes)
Q-tip Patterns
Materials needed: Q-tips (or the end of a pencil), paint (2-3 colors) and 2-3 strips of white paper.
We will continue using Q-tips for our work today in Math. Take a paper strip. Using 2-3 colored paint, make a pattern based on colors.
Remember, a pattern is something that is repeated three times or more.
You may want to acknowledge their pattern, saying out loud the colors.
For example, “Yellow, blue, blue, yellow, blue, blue, yellow, blue, blue”
Extension: Ask children to use dots and straight lines to make a pattern (using one color paint).
Dance and movement
Have a wonderful day :)
