Computer: Watch



Monday, June 1, 2020Question of the Day: “How does weather change?”Gross Motor: Play Freeze Dance! Have music playing for children to move to. As soon as the music stops, the child must freeze like an ice sculpture! Play a few rounds to get your bodies moving!Math: Butterfly Wing Symmetry: Invite your child to look carefully at butterfly wings again and note how the designs on the wings are symmetric, or mirror each other (pictures attached). Was the butterfly symmetrical when they were a caterpillar? Invite your child to create symmetric designs for butterfly wings by drawing a thick line down the middle of a piece of paper and encouraging your child to use pattern blocks, pompoms, buttons etc. to create symmetrical designs on each side of the line. Talk about the shapes they are using and where they place them on the paper.Dramatic Play: Invite your child to pretend to give the weather forecast. Begin by hanging a bed sheet or tablecloth up for them to use as a “green screen”. Have your child draw and label different pictures of weather; cloudy, sunny, rainy, snowy, windy etc. Have your child give a weather forecast, taping their pictures to the sheet. We completed this activity during the water unit, so children should remember it. What happened to the weather? How did it change? What causes it to change?Writing: Have your child practice their name. Begin practicing some sight words: yellow, blue and red. Try writing these words in that corresponding color. Reading: Read or watch, Changes, Changes by Pat Hutchinson YouTube. Tuesday, June 2, 2020Question of the Day: “How does nature change and transform? What changes in nature?”Gross Motor: You can use YouTube to play Indoor Recess for kids. : Watch (and dance) Move Like a State of Matter | Science Song for Kids | Solid, Liquid, Gas | Jack Hartmann will prepare us for our morning meeting on Wednesday!Science: In the morning, have your child place a thermometer outside a window in a place where they are able to see it. Invite them to observe and record/chart and discuss the changes they notice throughout the day. Check the thermometer in the afternoon and evening. What changed? Why did it change?Art: Provide materials that your child can use to represent a variety of weather experiences such as yellow paint and glitter for sunshine, pipe cleaners and light blue paint for rain, cotton balls for clouds, etc. Divide a large piece of paper into several sections and invite your child to create a different type of weather in each section or let them create several different art pieces, one for each type of weather they would like to represent, and display them together.Writing: Have your child practice their name. Begin practicing some sight words: yellow, blue and red. Try writing these words in that corresponding color. Reading: Read or watch, The Curious Garden by Peter Brown on Youtube. , June 3, 2020Question of the Day: Zoom session! Join Ms. Liz and I as we hold our next Zoom session. This will be a morning meeting Zoom at 10AM. Look out for our invite. Gross Motor: Tightrope Walking! Using tape inside or chalk outside, create a path for your child to walk on. This will encourage balancing skills. Don’t fall off!Computer: Use a search engine to pull up optical illusions for your child to observe and consider how one picture can appear to change or look like multiple images. You can also print some of the images and hang in the art area to inspire children to create their own optical illusions. Example…this can look like a rabbit or a duck. 218122517145000Writing: Choose a few simple words that have an initial sound that can be changed to create a new word, for example hat and cat. On one half of a plastic egg, write the last two letters of the word. On the other half, write a few letters so that when rotated, new words will be created (for example cat, mat and bat). Encourage your child to rotate the eggs to make new words. Explain how changing the first letter will TRANSFORM the whole word. Also encourage your child to sound out the words. If you do not have plastic eggs, there are several other ways to complete this activity. See the references attached. Reading: Mrs. Todd will be sending a read aloud to all of you!

Thursday, June 4, 2020Question of the Day: Watch, States of Matter for Kids | Science Video for Preschool & Kindergarten | Kids Academy can we transform a solid into a liquid? Gross Motor: Take a bike ride around the block!Sensory: Freeze colored ice cubes in the morning. You can use food coloring to do this (regular ice cubes will work as well). Once the ice cubes are frozen, give your child a bowl of warm water. Encourage your child to add the ice cubes one at a time to the water. What happens to the ice? What happens to the water? What happens when we add two different colored ice cubes to the water?Science: Vinegar and Baking Soda: Ask your child to predict what might happen when you combine baking soda and vinegar. Have them record their predictions (or record for them) and provide the two materials for them to experiment with. Provide measuring spoons and encourage children to experiment with differing amounts of baking soda and vinegar.Reading: Mrs. Todd will be sending a read aloud to all of you!
