Good morning KG1B - One more day till Crazy Hat Day 😊😀😀
Ms. Reem's morning routine 😊
Note: I added a breathing at the end :)
School family song:
Activity one: Math (20 minutes)
Number walk - Tell your child to take a walk around the house for familiar things (picture frames, chairs, cushions, slippers ..etc.)
and keep a tally mark of each item they find.
Materials: paper and pencil to tally mark.
Vocabulary: tally mark, count, how many, more, less, number words, total, equal, same, add.
Beginning: Tell your child they will be taking a walk around the house. Talk about what they may see on their walk.
Make comments such “I wonder if we see any pens?” Or “I wonder how many picture frames we will see?”
Tell them that it will be fun to record and keep track of what they see.
Write down on a piece of paper three or more things your child suggested
give them the paper and pencil on a clipboard if available to carry on the walk.
Middle: As your child walks around the house, remind them to tally mark what they see.
Acknowledge other things your child may discover and ask if they want to add that to their list.
When your child says they found something, you may help your child use more vocabulary to describe and compare what they found.
For example, “This picture frame is bigger then the one we found before.”
Extension: When you finish with the walk, have your child count each item and compare them.
Your child may also write down the numbers they count.
End: Before you finish the walk by 5 minutes.
Give your child a warning and tell them we will go back to the table to count our tally marks.
Activity two: Literacy (10 minutes)
Lowercase snow globe search. Your child will recognize lowercase letters and focus on beginning sounds.
Materials needed: You may make a globe with your child and write all the lowercase letters on the globe.
Cotton or stickers (to cover the letter if they wish to do so), pencil, box or bag to place the items in,
and items from around the house such as, pencil, eraser, marker, crayons, orange, apple, airplane, cup, dinosaur, fan, feather .. etc.
You will need one item per letter.
Be creative :) If you can’t find an item then draw something on a paper and place it in the box/bag.
Vocabulary: letter sounds, beginning, middle, end sounds.
Beginning:
Tell your child for this activity they would put their hands in the box/bag to choose an item.
Ask them what they found, what letter they hear and what beginning sound it has.
Middle:
Listen to your child as they say the words. Repeat the word after your child and focus on the beginning sound.
Say c c cat. What letter do you hear at the beginning of a cat? Pause and listen to their response.
State what sound your child is hearing the most.
For example if your child says “Truck” and they say ‘K’ You may say, Way to go! K is at the end of the word Truck.
Note down what letters your child is quick at recognizing and what letters they need more practice in.
Tell your child every time they know a beginning sound they may want to cover that with cotton or a sticker to decorate your globe.
Extension: Your child may write down the lowercase letters themselves. They may also try spelling out the letter sounds they hear.
End: Give your child 5 minutes warning before ending this activity.
Remember to clean up together and tell your child where you will place the globe for further use.
Activity three: Fine motor skills (5 minutes)
Spider web.
Grab a small basket, weave some yarn through to make a web and add some spiders or any other small animals you have.
(If you don’t have animals you may place any other small items.)
Give your child tweezers or clothespins and tell them to get the spiders/items out of the web.
The more yarn you wear around the basket, the more challenging the activity will be.
Dance and movement:
