Friday, May 15

Sadly, today is our last day for Online Preschool.

I'll 'see' our 4s for their Zoom graduations, and all but a few of you next year.  I hope that once restrictions are lifted, we can have a get-together this summer on the playground.

It might be unlikely for this summer, but today we're going to prepare for a virtual beach vacation!

2s: Beach

1. Story Time 

Let's listen to some poetry about creatures from down below read in lots of funny voices: Commotion in the Ocean by Giles Andreae

2. Summer Numbers

From our website, please print out the 2s Summer Numbers activity. 

You can look at each page with your child, counting from 1-5 with beach items.

Let your child color the pictures and count each object.

3. Fine Motor Practice

In your bag, you'll find a bracelet and a bag of pony beads.

Show your child how they can string the beads on the bracelet!

2. Summer Number Book

From our website, print out the 3s Summer Number Book.

Look at the numerals and the pictures with your child.  Have your child count the objects and see if they are the correct amount.

Have your child color the pictures and share it with someone.

3. Mermaid Memory Game

From our website, print out the Mermaid Memory Game, on card stock if you have it available.

Cut out, or have your child cut out, the cards.  Look at each pair with your child and have them identify the object.

Mix up all the cards and lay them out in a grid on the table or the floor.

Take turns turning over two cards at a time to reveal a match.

2. Scholastic Reader

In your bag, you'll find a copy of My Big World Splish, Splash, Summer!  If you don't have that, you can use the electronic version here: Scholastic My Big World.  The electronic version also has some dance music and other games.

Look at the magazine with your child.  What do they think it might be about?  Can they tell just by looking at the picture on the front?

Pages 2 and 3 are about summer safety.  Read each of the summer safety tips with your child.  Why are they important?

On the final page, there is a seek and find activity that has objects beginning with the letter S, like summer!  Can they find all the items?
