Week 2

THINGS TO ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT THEIR LEARNING AT SCHOOL THIS WEEK…..

 

·        How to spell colors red, yellow, blue, green, orange, brown and purple. Read your books with your child and have them sing the songs to you.

·        We mixed blue and yellow play dough together. What color did it make? We mixed red and yellow paint together. What color did it make?

·        Have your child tell you about the books we read this week: Harold and the Purple Crayon, Purplicious, Where the Wild things Are, Junie B. Jones.

·        In math each child received a strip of construction paper and he/she had to find the partner with the strip of paper that was the same length. Ask your child if their strip match with everyone else or just one person? How did you know it matched or did not match? We also measured our hands to our partners and talked about length. Who had the larger hand? Who had the smaller hand?

·        Is your child practicing his/her letter formation? Is your child able to write letters A-F legibly in both uppercase and lowercase?  What about letter sounds? Does your child sounds and letters A-F?

·        We talked about 2 ways we read a book. Ask your child what are the two ways? Answer reading/pointing to the words and looking at the pictures. How is looking at the pictures helpful to reading? Do they tell the same or similar story?

·        Calendar – Has your child taught you the “Days of the Week” or “Montherana” song?

·        We graphed how many boys and how many girls are in our class. Ask your child about it. Answer 13 boys and 13 girls. How did we come to that conclusion?

 

Your child may be able to answer all of these questions or just some of them.  Whatever they can do, celebrate it!  I’ll try to send questions like this on a regular basis so that you can extend and share their learning from school at home!  J
