Worksheets and National Beverage Day

HERE is a link to some worksheets that support our weekly theme.  I know not everyone has access to a printer, so I am providing a brief description of how the worksheets could be used and you could do the same without having the actual worksheet.  These are not requirements, just supplemental activities for you to consider.

• I'm Not Scared.  This is intended to address the idea of going to a new school, or classroom, next year.  Have the children draw a scared face and a calm face.  Ask them what scares them, and what do they do to stop being scared?
• Paper Doll Cutouts and Speech Balloon Cutout.  These can go together.  The purpose would be to use the picture information in the book 'Can You Say Peace?', from yesterday's post, to copy or draw different people based on one those represented in the book.  The speech bubble could be used to practice writing - the children could copy how we say peace in different languages (again, this information is from the book video that was in yesterday's post).
• Shape Cutouts.  These are intended to be colored and then sorted.  You could sort by color; you could sort by size; or you could sort by color and size.
• Spot the Xs.  These cards are intended to practice identifying small quantities (1 to 5) of objects without having to count them first.  Example:  Where are the cards with 2 Xs?  They can also be used as practice for counting.  Example: How many Xs on this one?  Let's count!  One,......
• Where Is It?  This is meant to be used to practice directional words.  Examples:  Where is the bench?  It is BEHIND the swings.  Where is the slide?  It is NEXT TO the swings.

National Beverage Day

National Beverage Day is meant to be a day that encourages you to sit back, relax, and enjoy your favorite beverage.  I encourage you to take some time to relax with you loved one and do it with or without your favorite beverage.

Stay safe and stay healthy!  Be good!
