Alphabet Review - Alphabet Freeze Dance for Kids by The Kidboomers

1. Glasses
2. Garbage can
3. Grass
4. Gloves
5. Glue
6. Girl
7. Something green
8. Something that glows
What else can you find that begins with g?
Math
This week we are learning about subitizing. Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize, without counting, “how many” in a small set (dots on a dice).
Another way to practice subitizing is using counters from the covid package- show all the different ways you can represent 5. (Ex. Counters lined in a row; two above, one in middle, two below) Remember if we do not add any new or take any we still have 5 no matter how we arrange them!

Fine Motor: Practice printing the letter g and the numeral 5 on paper. Remember you can always practice printing on the back of an envelope to save on paper.
Website: If you have the opportunity, check out squigglepark.com, a literacy program where students can have fun learning and practicing letter names, sounds and more! Class code and student codes were emailed yesterday. Click on Student Play and then enter class code, select student name and enter student code.
It is important to read to your child each day and have them go outside for physical activity.

This week we are learning about subitizing. Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize, without counting, “how many” in a small set (dots on a dice).
Another way to practice subitizing is using your fingers. With a partner, take turns holding up different arrangements representing numbers. See how quickly you can identify how many fingers without counting.

If you are able to, put a thin layer of salt, sugar or sand on a plate. Practice proper formation for the letter g and numeral 5. To make a lowercase g, start like a c and go up and then down with a hook. Remember to make the numeral 5 correctly – neck, belly, flat hat

Good morning students and families!
Today is our fourth day of Home Learning. Here are today’s activities.
Fine Motor
Scissor Practice - If you have scissors available and old flyers, cut out pictures of food and toys. When cutting, be sure to keep your elbow close to your body and your thumb is pointing up.
Video – Fitzy. Monster Show: Using a pair of scissors (1:30 mins) – This can be found on YouTube.com on the channel Kiddo TV
Art
If you can, go to the website artforkidshub.com and check out the lesson Drawing a Person with My 2-Year-Old. This link will open to youtube. You can also do a search in YouTube for Drawing a Person with my 2-Year Old (preschool lessons). Although the lesson says it is for preschool, it is a great step-by-step lesson on how to draw a person. If you do not have access to internet- practice drawing people- don't forget to add details (ex. fingers, hair...shoes)
Try drawing the rest of your family as well!
Language Arts
Label the people in your picture you just drew. You can label your family members by asking them how to spell their names or you can write down the first letter in their names. For example, if you have a brother named Mark, you can write the letter M above his picture.
Ask someone to help you write down a sentence about your picture. For example, “This is my family.” If you would like take a photo of your picture and email me- I would love to see your beautiful artwork!
Math
Count different objects/things in your home. Take your Trace the Numeral sheet with you and color or trace the numeral after counting.
· How many doors in your home?
· How many windows in your kitchen?
· How many bedrooms?
· How many bathrooms?
· How many stairs on your set of stairs?
Sort different objects/items in your home by size – Big or small, adult or child
Some things you might sort are:
· Shoes
· Blocks
· Stuffies
· Cars or dolls
· Dry food containers, cans or boxes
What else can you sort by size at home? Share your ideas with me if you can!
It is important to read to your child each day and have them go outside for physical activity.
Check out Mr. MacKinnon’s Teacher Page for some fun and creative ideas to stay physically active!
I am asking that parents who have not yet responded to me to please respond as soon as you can. It is important that I keep in touch with you, and I can answer any questions or concerns you might have. Thank you! My email is ann.cameron@nbed.nb.ca.
