Group Meeting: The children started school by printing their name in their name book. In the take home folder today, you will find a page for your child to do at home.
We also danced to Koo Koo Kangaroo's Pop See Ko. It's on Youtube. Give it a try!
Story: The story for today was Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes. Wemberly worried about everything. She worried that the tree might fall on her house. She worried that she might shrink in the bathtub. Wemberly has a new worry: school! Wemberly wonders if her teacher will be nice. She worries about making a friend. When she gets to school, she finds that school is great because she finds a _____. Ask your child to tell you what she finds!
Fine Motor: We sang the song "Pick Up a Crayon" again from the Learning Without Tears program. We practiced holding the crayon and coloring by filling in fireworks on our paper.
Let's Find Out Magazine: The magazine for today was about community helpers. We completed the back page of the magazine. They may keep this at home.
Gross Motor Game: The children listened to the music to Mash the Trash. We pretended to be garbage collectors. Each child had a bucket to be the garbage can and a ball to be the trash. As the music played, they tried to throw the trash into the garbage can.
At Home Learning:
In the folder you will find a name practice page, a paper with stars and a quilt, and 7 chameleons.
Read the story A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8rab-HcTN0
Following the story, talk about animals that use camouflage to hide themselves from other animals and people. Give your child the 7 colored chameleons. Ask them to find something that is the same color and help the chameleon to camouflage himself. You may want to point out the beginning letter of the color word and make the beginning sound.
The name practice page is similar to the one we use in school. The children trace over the letters as they learn the proper formation of the letter. If you need another copy of the letter formation chart, please let me know.
The stars and quilt page goes along with a song that we learned about holding the crayon correctly. It is mentioned above. Help your child hold the crayon correctly while pointing to the stars and wiggling a little color on the star. If your child wants to keep coloring, he/she can complete the quilt. It is a lot of coloring for some children, so they may need a break or some help from you.
