GODLY PLAY
LETTER of the WEEK : Qq
Write the letter Q. We verbally say, "Start your letter at the top, make a big curve down and keep going to make a big curve up and stop. Pick your marker or pencil up and leap down to make a short line that slides from the inside of the circle to the outside of the circle. Draw a picture of something that begins with Q; or for tactile learning, shape the letter Q in play dough or a small plate of salt or flour. For our pre-writers, if you have a chalk board and some chalk, draw the letter Q and have your child erase it with a small wet sponge, or they can wet their finger and erase it.
MATH
The Shape of the Month is an Oval like an egg! Below is a fun Oval Shape mini book you can make.
Using a deck of playing cards, find all of the cards with the Number 10 on them. How many were there?
Trace both of your hands on a piece of paper. Write or trace the numbers 1 through 10 above each finger. For our pre-writers, use your pointer touch and count aloud each finger.
Wrap 10 or more rubber bands or hair ties around an object (ex. a cork, a paper towel tube, a block, etc.). Unwrap just 10 rubber bands. This activity may be made easier by using a piece of paper with 10 dots as place makers for your child to place the rubber bands on as they unwrap them. This is a great fine motor exercise!
A quarter equals 25 pennies. Using a piece of paper, place a quarter with an equal sign on it. Then draw 25 dashes made up of 2 rows of 10 and one row of 5. Place the pennies in the rows. Practice counting the rows of ten. Challenge counting to 25.
No spare change...draw a flower using a circle for the center and 10 oval shaped petals around the circle. Give it a rectangle stem and some triangle leaves!
SCIENCE
Review the inside of an egg chart in our Chick Journal. The children often wonder if the chick eggs are the same as what we eat for breakfast. It is good to reassure them that the eggs we eat for breakfast are different because they have not been fertilized. A hen and a rooster need to be near each other in the same pen for the eggs to be fertilized. After looking at the chart, crack an egg open on a plate and compare it to the picture. See if you can find the parts outlined in the picture. No need to waste an egg for this project, you can wait until you need an egg for cooking.
Have an Egg taste test: scrambled, hard-boiled, and fried or soft-boiled. Which do you like best?
Sort Oviparous and Non Oviparous Animals:
CREATIVE ART
Make a bubble letter Q and paint the inside of it using a Q-tip, or paste Q-tips on the inside of the letter.
Draw a Cactus Hotel.
Color a paper quilt pattern.
Put a quarter under a piece of paper. Color on the paper with a dark colored crayon back and forth over the spot that has the quarter under it. If you press hard enough and color all around it, you will magically see the quarter!
Start a life cycle diagram on a piece of paper. Draw a hen at the top.
