Question for the Week:
What can we learn about animal babies?
Weekly Foundational Read-Aloud:
Over in the Meadow by Ezra Jack Keats
The YouTube Link to the weekly Read-Aloud is located: HERE
Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:
- In this book, the mother animals told the little animals what to do. What are some of the things the adults who take care of you tell you to do? Why?
- If you were in the meadow, what would you do? Why?
Learn at Home activities for today:
Friday:
Read a Book
Read and re-read your child’s favorite books in any language your family speaks. If you do not have any books, you can create books together by writing down the words to stories you created together and working together to add illustrations.
An Egg is Quiet
Watch and listen to the read aloud, Growing Frogs by Vivian French, located HERE. Discuss the life cycle of a frog. Children that are ready can draw the life cycle!
Continued Weekly Activity
Animal Babies: Children can use recycled materials to create the animal babies that they are studying. They can look at pictures found online to reference as they create. Children can also use recycled materials to create objects related to the animal babies such as food, homes, etc. Ask your child to tell you about their animal and add this as dictation to their project or invite them to add their own writing. Please email a picture of any completed work to MsMcGarryCOVID19@gmail.com !
