Activity one: Literacy (20 minutes)

Words their way- Beginning Sounds- L, K, J, W

Beginning:

Today, we will be sounding out the letters L, K, J and W.   

Middle:

-Let us think of some words which begin with the letter L, K, J and W. 
(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

(Please note, if they say any words which start with the letter C instead of K, it is ok at this stage in their development)

• /J/ for jump, jam, juice and jacket
• /W/ for water, well, watermelon, whale, white, wiggle, walrus 

-Ask them to look at the pictures and identify their beginning letters, is it /L/, /K/, /J/ or /W/?  
They can cut the pictures out using scissors.  

-There are four columns on the second page.  Ask your child to paste the picture corresponding to the
letter in the column. For example, the picture of the boy’s knee should go under the letter /K/.  

-Extension-  write down other words that have the same beginning letter.  

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 two: Math (10 minutes)

Growing monsters!

Materials needed: Paint (water colors from a palette will work), straw, paintbrush, white paper and markers

Vocabulary:  Spread, increasing, decreasing, pattern 

Beginning:

You may say- “Today, we will be observing what happens when we use our breath and paint to
make a pattern!”

Ask your child to add some water to the paints to get them into a liquid consistency.

Middle:

Ask your child to dab a color of paint onto the paper using a paintbrush.  
Ask them to use their straw and blow onto the paint. 
Let them spread the paint in different directions using their breaths.  

You may:

• Ask them to brainstorm what they think is happening
• Discuss how the amount of breath they are blowing affects the paint’s movement
• Is there a pattern between their breath and the movement of the paint? 

For instance- breath, paint, breath, paint, breath, paint. The paint spreads further each time! 

It is an increasing pattern.  

• What shapes is the paint making?  What do they look like?  
• Ask your child to add features onto the ‘Growing monsters’. 
• They may choose to add eyes, hair etc. 

Extension: You may ask your child to create names for the monsters and write them down. 
They can describe these characters to you.  

End: 

Give your child a 5 minute notice before the end of the activity. 
Send in their picture to the teacher to add to the blog. 

Activity Three: Fine motor
(Water paint)- 5 minutes 

Prior to the activity: Take four cups of water.  In each, add a different color of food color.
Add a toothpick or any stick in each cube. Freeze each colored water using an ice cube tray.  

Once frozen, remove the ice cubes and place them in a bowl.
Ask your child to write some letters using the colored cubes.
See how many letters your child can write before the ice cubes melt.
