Good morning KG1B :)
Good morning from Salma:
Love you ritual:
Activity one: Math (20 minutes)
Making numbers 7 and 8
Children will learn to count, recognize and represent numbers seven and eight using play dough.
Materials needed: Chart as in the picture, play dough, and markers or pencil.
Beginning:
Tell your child that today you will be using play dough to make numbers 7 and 8. Ask them if they know what 7 and 8 look like.
Listen to their answers.
Middle: As your child is making the numbers with play dough use the words like straight lines, curves and round.
Tell your child to show you numbers 7/8 in a different way.
You may start making 7 small circles with play dough and count as you are making it.
Ask your child how many more you need to get 8 circles.
Encourage them to count as they are working with the dough.
Introduce the empty graph above to them and encourage them to present those numbers using the graph.
Encourage your child to make other numbers they already know as well and imitate their work.
Extension: You may offer your child a marker or pencil to write down the numbers.
Below is a video of the proper formation of numbers 7 and 8.
Vocabulary: how many, more, less, bigger, smaller, graph.
End: Give your child 5 minutes warning.
Encourage your child to clean up with you and count as they are cleaning up.
Activity two: Literacy (10 minutes)
Commands and directions.
During this activity your child will learn to focus on giving and receiving more than one command/ direction at a time.
Materials: You and your child.
Vocabulary: directions, straight, left, right, down, up, over, under, switch, turn, back, before, after.
Beginning: Tell your child that for this activity you will need to use your listening ears to get it right.
You can start by telling them 2 directions. For example: close the door and jump.
Middle: Allow your child to give you 2 or 3 directions.
For example: Close the light, come back and give me high five.
The easier you feel it is for your child you may add more and more directions at one time.
For example: Wash your hands, jump twice, clap twice, and sit on the couch.
You may also add breathing or yoga into your directions.
End: Give your child warning 5 minutes before ending this activity.
Extension: Offer your child a paper and pencil and tell them to draw or write commands/directions.
Encourage them to write down beginning, middle, and ending sounds of their words.
Fine motor skills: (5 minutes)
Work with your child on tying their shoes and/or zipping up their jackets.
Tell your child as they go to KG2 they should be able to tie their shoes and zip their jackets.
