Week 11
Hello! I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I think the next couple of weeks are going to be busy with the upcoming holiday. If there is ever a day that the kiddos just need to miss, please let me know! Especially with the cold weather bringing in flu season, if your kiddo isn't feeling well, please email me and I will mark them absent-ill. That way you aren't bothered by a phone call from the school.
This week we look into Nature's Giants and different Shapes.
Our vocabulary this week is: Mountain, majestic, iceberg, ocean, rock, cave, waterfall, sun, moon, circle, flower, heart, rectangle, star, square, triangle
For small groups, they will be at the same times as last week. If these times ever don't work, please let me know.
Small group materials:
Tuesday - I Spy - Colors! For this activity they will need to be in gallery view to be able to see each other's background. That way we can play the game with lots of different colors.
Wednesday - November Echo Drawing - They will need their All Year in Preschool book on the November Echo page and crayons. If they don't have their book at home or the page isn't blank they can use a separate piece of paper or the back of the page.
Thursday - Simon Says! Listening ears are all that's needed!
I have attached the November Choice Boards; it will be here, in the email, and on google classroom. Just pick 2 - 3 boards to do each day and cross off the activity you chose to do. See if you can get all the way across the board in one or more rows. If you want to do more a day that is awesome! If at the end of the month it isn't completed, that's ok! I didn't put as many choices this time, there are still a lot of options on there, but since November isn't as long I didn't want to over whelm anyone. There should still be plenty just in case anyone wants to do more than the 2-3 a day.
Thank you for all your help to make things work. I know that technology can be a pain sometimes, so thank you for all of your help to make things work. I am still working on getting google to work with the videos, but it is a work in progress. I have created separate google slide pages for the read aloud books, the number and letter videos, and the brain break dances and yogas. Hopefully, if the main classroom page of slides doesn't open or opens too slowly, you can use the individual pages easier.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
