- After watching the video together, ask kids to name some of the special helpers they can go to in an emergency (such as a doctor, firefighter, police officer, or teacher).
- Later, you can play an “I Spy” game when you are out together. Say, “I spy a special helper. Who is it?” Or, “I spy a place where special helpers work. What is it?” (It might be a school, fire station, hospital, police station, or an ambulance.) When you see a special helper, you might even introduce kids to them. If kids are familiar with the special helpers around them, they’re likely to be less scared in an emergency.

- Watch the video and jump along together, following The Count’s directions. Together, count out the hops.
- Take turns giving movement directions such as: “hop two times” or “twirl five times.” Or some of you may be ready for these challenges:
- Ask kids to make a shape with their hops: “Hop in a circle” or “Hop to make a square.”
- Use patterns in directions: “Hop two times, twirl three times, hop two times…what comes next?”
- Use simple number sentences: “Hop one plus two times.” Count to three as kids hop.

3D Shapes Around Us
3D Shapes Around Us
Using the template (or you can create your own), see how many 3D shapes you can find around your home or outside. Remember, 3D shapes take up space! Use the songs below to help with your learning.

Subitizing!
Subitizing is when we know, just by using our eyes, how many things are in front of us. In Kindergarten, numbers 1 to 5 are most important to be able to subitize. Watch the Jack Hartmann video below and practice subitizing!
Check out our walking field trip to Kinbrook Island. It's a great place to fly a kite or bird watch!
