Weekly Foundational Read-Aloud: 

What Do You Do With An Idea? by Kobi Yamada

The YouTube Link to the weekly Read-Aloud is located: HERE!

·               
Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:
What does the idea in this book look like?

·               Why do you think the illustrator made the idea look this way? Is that what all ideas look like?

·               Think about a good idea you have had. Tell a partner about this idea.

·               What can you do if someone else does not like your idea?

Learn at Home activities for today:

Thursday

Transform This:

Provide your child with various objects such as recycled materials and challenge them to select one and transform it into something new. Allow them to use an assortment of art materials such as recycled materials, collage materials, markers, paint, glue, etc. to transform the object they select. Talk with them about what the original item was and what they have transformed it into as well as how they transformed the object. When finished, they can write about how they transformed the object.

Body Letters:

Have your child use their bodies to create letters of the alphabet. Start with one letter then ask them to change their position to create a different letter. 

Continued Weekly Activity

Now and Later: 

Invite your child to reflect on the things they can do now and things they would like to do in the future. Fold a piece of paper in half, title one side “Now” and the other “Later.” Talk with your child about the things they can do now and things they are looking forward to doing when they are older. Write your child’s responses on the paper or invite them to do their own writing; help them pay special attention to the sounds they hear in the words.
