Today's 2-minute activity
Today's 2-minute activity
We have spoken with many parents and realize that you may only have time to complete a brief activity with your child. If you only have 2 minutes to spare, please consider trying the following:
Go on a letter "L" scavenger hunt around your home! Did you know, printed words are EVERYWHERE inside your home?! Tell your child you are both going to look for letter "L". The letter "L" can be anywhere in the word (beginning like "Lego", middle like "Colgate", or end like "pull"). Some places you might find it include the following:
your kitchen - all those labels on food items, ingredients lists, recipe books...
your bedroom - words in books, on clothing labels...
your bathroom - words on labels on your toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, makeup...
your living room - words on the TV for show titles, credits...
Once you/your child finds a letter L, say the word for them and really exaggerate that /lll/ sound. For example, "Look at the eggs! It says lllarge! That starts with letter "L" and the sound /lll/," or, "Look at the toothpaste! It says Colllgate. Colllgate has a letter "L" and the sound /lll/ in the middle. Listen. Colllgate." Have fun searching!
Letter of the Day
Letter of the Day
Our letter today is letter "Ll" and the sound /lll/ as in licorice, pillow, and full. Watch the video and see if you and your child can say the /lll/ sound. Remember - if this sound is tricky for your child, you could try telling them "make sure your tongue is up."
After watching the video, take a letter L scavenger hunt around your house! Can you find some things that have letter L on them? Here are some words to inspire you that we found around our house: Goldfish, milk, lemonade, chocolate milk, Lego, Elsa, salsa, Colgate, Holy Bible, Baseball Animals (the book your KLP teachers gave your child).
Once you/your child find the letter "L" in the word, pronounce the word and really exaggerate the /lll/ sound. Point to the letter L in the word and show it to your child.
Story Time
Story Time
Below you will find a link to the book "Little Chef" by Matt Stine and Elisabeth Weinberg.
After you watch the video, talk about the story together. You might ask the following questions:
Who are the characters in the story? (a little girl named Lizzie, her Mom, her Dad, and her Grandma)
What is a CHEF? (someone who cooks delicious food)
Where does a chef do all the cooking? (in a kitchen)
When do we eat breakfast? (in the morning)
Why do we put salt and pepper in food? (to make it taste good)
What part of our body do we use to taste things? (our tongue)
When do we eat dinner? (in the evening)
Have you ever tasted sweet potato?
What are INGREDIENTS? (all of the foods you mix together to make something)
Learning the Basic Flavours: A Taste Test
Learning the Basic Flavours: A Taste Test
This is a fun activity for you and your child to do together. It will help your child to learn about the four basic flavours: salty, sweet, sour, and bitter. Feel free to substitute the foods for things you may have at home.
Your Five Senses
Your Five Senses
We have 5 senses to help us experience the world. One of those senses is TASTING. But we have 4 other senses too: SEEING, HEARING, SMELLING, and FEELING. Watch the videos below to learn more about your five senses, and the parts of your body that you use to taste, see, hear, smell and feel.
Worksheets
If you have some extra time (and a printer!), here are some printable worksheets to learn more about your 5 senses.
If you don't have a printer, you can make your own worksheets using a pencil and paper. Draw a face and body, write the words "taste, see, hear, smell, touch" down the side, help your child to draw lines to the corresponding body part (we see with our eyes, we taste with our tongue, we hear with our ears, we smell with our noses, we touch with our hands.
