Enjoy a special message from your teachers! xoxo
The below links and resources can be used during times at home. They can be downloaded right from here. :)
I hope you are all well and staying safe and healthy during this time at home. Please see the below skills, website links, story read alouds, and movement songs to help reinforce learning at home in an exciting manner for our little friends. Please stay in touch, children may also reach out to me at anytime to say hello:). Thank you! XOXO Mrs. Hill
Prayer-we are learning to bless ourselves correctly. We say the “Our Father”, “Hail Mary”, and “Glory Be” prayer each morning at the start of our day. Prayer before snack- “God is great, God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen”. Before lunch -“Munch, munch, munch, thank you Jesus for our lunch. Amen”.
Colors-”I spy…”, look for colors on a walk, around the house, on a drive, etc. You can also find our color songs on youtube.
Shapes- Shapes are everywhere around us! Make it a game, google/youtube shape songs, go on a shape hunt etc.
Letters and Numbers- So far we learned about Letters A,B, & C and the Letters in your child's name. You can continue this by doing fun activities at home to begin letter, name, and number recognition, counting, etc.
Name practice-so far we have practiced name recognition and trying to write the first letter in our names. Please reinforce this skill.
Fine Motor skills-playdough, floam, puzzles, string beads, lacing cards, leggos, etc.
Gross motor skills-get outside when you can-run, jump, climb, play ball, etc. If you are stuck inside, you can google some of our favorite dance/exercise songs or have a dance party!
Read, Read, Read! PLAY and use your IMAGINATION!
