Group Meeting: We started our day by printing in our name book and dancing to Jack Hartmann's Dance and Freeze. We also looked at the family pictures that were sent in today. If you did not send one, you can do it on Wednesday.
Story: The story for today was The Little Red Hen retold by Bonnie Dobkin. This is the classic tale of the hen who finds a bag of wheat seeds and wants to plant them so that she can grow wheat for bread. She asks her friends Dog, Cat, and Goose to help, but they are busy doing other things like nap and play. When she finally bakes a loaf of bread, the cat, dog and goose smell it and would like to have some. Ask your child to tell you what the Little Red Hen has to say.
Fine Motor: The children learned to make Mat Man. Mat Man is part of the Learning Without Tears program. We use the same lines and curves to build him that we will use for letter making. In your child's packet today, you will see a picture of Mat Man.
Study: We are starting a new study today. I placed a ball in a box and gave the children clues so that they could guess what it was. A note explaining the study is in your child's packet.
Snack: The snack for today was Goldfish, juice and water.
At Home Learning
Name Printing: Ask your child to trace the letters. A crayon works best.
Math Journal: Today's page is about making patterns. You may need to draw a pattern for an example. They usually catch on pretty quick.
Mat Man: Ask your child to listen to the song of Mat Man while pointing to the parts on the Mat Man picture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLltrcA1u7Q Play the song again. This time use the second Mat Man paper and have them trace the head and body and add the parts that are missing.
Story: The story that I would like your child to listen to is Have a Ball by Nancy Noel Williams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VX3yVf8hII&t=76s
Ball Study: Read the study note. Ask your child to help you assemble a ball collection. Find anything in the house that can be considered a ball. How many can you find?
The field trip permission form is in your child's packet today. I would like to have them back by September 30th.
