Hello! I am at home like all of you. I hope that you are finding plenty of things to do. I am going to give you a few ideas of things to do at home. These are things that we would be doing at school if we were able to do so.
Try this video from Koo Koo Kangaroo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpD9kRyBn8o It will get your body and brain moving. All of their videos are so much fun!
This week, we were going to be talking about March weather. Typically, March is a very windy month. I realize that we got a little snow last night. Hopefully, that will be gone soon!
Story: Our story for today would have been The Wind Blew by Pat Hutchins. You can find this book on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOGegRlO79o When you are finished watching, see if you can remember all of the things that blew away in the story. Perhaps you can try to remember them in the story's order. You may notice some things in this story that are a little different. That's because this story was written by an author from England.
Science Activity: Make a fan by taking a piece of paper and folding it back and forth. A grown-up or older brother or sister can help you with this. Once your fan is finished, make some wind by waving it back and forth. Now, find things in your house that you can move by waving your fan.
Art Activity: If you have some paint at home, put some drops of it on a paper. Take a straw and see if you can blow the paint across the paper. You may need to have your grown up add a little water to the paint. If you don't have a straw, take the insides out of an ink pen and use it as a straw. What would happen if you use a hair dryer to blow the paint?
Letter Learning: This week, we would have worked on the letters Xx, Hh, Qq and Ww. Try printing these at home. Remember, when you are printing, to start at the top. Sing the song "Where Do You Start Your Letters?" if that helps! See if you can find these letters around your house on wall hangings, books, magazines or newspapers.
Math Journals: The author of the math journal that we are using is offering the month of March to parents for free. Go to prekinders.com to find this along with some other ideas.
Check back on Wednesday. I will have some more ideas for you. I would love to hear from you! Even though we've only been out of school for a week, I miss you very much! I will try to post some pictures of things that I am doing at home. Perhaps you can do the same. Your parents can add comments to this blog or email me.
Have a great day!

Today Ian and his little brother Tyson played Legos most of the day, and we have been doing a lot of coloring and some workbooks. Ian says to tell everyone hi and that he misses you all!
