Practice tracing/forming other letters, if possible, and begin tracing numbers. Continue to review our circle time routine. Please read aloud at least one book to your child daily.MondayEnglish Language Arts/ContentMathematicsSuggested Crafts/Activities-Introduce the letter of the week and its sound using the Bounce Patrol song as a guide: how to form the letter, first by tracing it with your finger and then by using a pencil to trace. Please look at both the capital and lowercase letter.-Try to name some words that begin with letter Zz. You can use words from the video or some of the terms below. Look through your house, does anything start with letter Z? If so, what?-Briefly introduce the community helper of the week- sanitation worker- and their role in the community- to help keep our Earth clean by taking out our garbage. You may use the Sesame Street song, “Who are the People in Your Neighborhood?” as a starting point.You may also use this read-aloud story (or any book about community helpers): “Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do” by Kathryn Heling. You may also try using a mystery bag with an item associated with the community helper inside (or a picture of an object if the real thing is not available); have your child use their senses to figure out what is inside!Build a tower with your child using Legos or other stackable blocks. Count how many blocks tall your tower is. Be sure to start your count from the bottom to the top! Build a shorter tower next to it and compare the two (which is shorter? Longer? Wider? Skinnier? Etc.). Create a simple math sentence about your towers (e.g. This tower is 8 blocks tall and this tower is 4 blocks tall. So, 8-4=4.).**Tip: When writing the number sentence, begin with addition first and analyze the smaller tower. Once they have mastered addition, you can begin subtraction**Letter Z Zebra:Materials:White Letter Z, black construction paper, yarn for mane (optional), crayons/markers, glue, scissorsCraft:-Start by cutting out a capital letter Z from white paper. Have your child glue this to a colorful piece of construction paper.-Next, using black paper, cut out stripes of different lengths. It’s okay if they are not perfectly straight- think of a zebra’s natural stripes. You may want to cut the large paper into smaller squares to help your child grip the paper better. Glue the stripes on the letter.-Allow stripes to dry and add facial features using markers or crayons. If adding a mane, cut the yarn into small pieces and attach at the top “joint” of the letter and allow it to hang down the side. You may also add ears above the mane if you wish.TuesdayEnglish Language Arts/ContentMathematicsSuggested Crafts/Activities***ZOOM SESSION FROM 9-9:30AM***-Choose any book in your library that your child likes to read with you.
