Months of the year – sing the song then review what month we are in

This is an interactive calendar you can use to save paper! :)

Weather – Ms. McArow's Weather Helper Song

We next count the days in school. I suggest just practicing counting to 100 every day.

Letter of the Week:
Use the PDF file below to print out and make your own letter book to read along with me!
KINDERGARTENALPHABETBOOKSPRINTABLESABCEMERGENTREADERS.pdf

Check out the Letter Books Link under the "Useful Links Page"


While reading: discuss what your child sees in the pictures: what do they see (transportation vehicles, colors, animals, people, etc.) what do they think is happening, how do they think the characters feel and why. You can also have your child retell the story with you, a sibling, or even a stuffed animal.

Other literacy skills: you can go over the parts of the book: front cover, back cover, the author writes the words and the illustrator draws the pictures. Have your child practice tracking print while they pretend to read. Have them practice holding the book correctly and turning the pages one at a time. Please continue to review the letters, the sounds they make, and writing their name.

• Counting by ones as high as they can go is an important skill.
• We have also been working on identifying and describing shapes. Below I have created a shape identification chart you can use. I have attached the shape chart to the “Useful Links” part of my webpage. It is under “RemoteLearningWk2” *above I have attached a shapes video I made*
• Patterning is also important: we have been working on AB patterns- example- blue, red, blue, red. Before we left, we started working on ABB patterns - blue, red, red, blue, red, red,. I have attached a patterning game they can pay online, but you can also take items around your house, make one of these patterns, and have your child fill in what goes next. They can also practice making their own patterns. https://www.abcya.com/games/mobile/fuzz_bugs_patterns

If you would like to send me any pictures of the work you and your child has done, please feel free to email me! I look forward to hearing from you! :)

 I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented times. As I get updated information I will pass it along to you. If you click on the link on the side of this page called “Useful Links” I have educational websites for your child to use while we all work remotely. 

Here are some other helpful things you can do with your child: 

* Please read to your child every day. YouTube also has read alouds that you can watch with your child as well. 

* Https://app.gonoodle.com is a great website for movement activities and gross motor skills. It’s a free website you can sign up to use! 


If you have any questions, you can email me at [email protected]. Thank you all for your support and cooperation during these uncertain times!

Sincerely,
  Ms. McArow
