Good Morning KG1 A!

I wish you well!

Activity one:

Math:

Artwork Borders and Frames (20 minutes)

Materials: Popsicle sticks, stickers, colored paper strips, beads, crayons, glue stick and markers. Feel free to improvise

Beginning:

Ask your child if they know what a picture frame is and listen to what they say. Show the child what a picture frame looks like.

Tell your child, ‘Today for this activity we are going to make a pattern picture frame.’

Middle:

• Comment on your child's work and how they are placing their items on the frame. 
• Encourage him/her to describe what they are doing and the pattern they are making.
• You can also make your own pattern and describe it by stating how your pattern looks like. 
• Use words such as: pattern, every other one, frame, border, design, decoration, alternate, another, around, first, next,  second.

Extension: Ask your child to make frames using different shapes such as a triangle or diamond

End:

Allow your child to write their name and find a place to place their picture.

Give your child 5 minutes notice and clean up together. 

Activity two

Literacy (10 minutes)

Rhyming game:

Tell your child that you will be playing a game and when it becomes so hard you can say FREEZE and choose a new word or action.

Beginning:

Start by asking your child what rhyming words sound like?

Listen to what they say and add your rhyming words and say, rhyming words are words that end the same just like how you said yummy and mummy.” 

Middle:

Tell your child they can start with a word and you have to say a word that rhymes with it and vice versa.

Remind your child that he/she can call out “FREEZE!” (or any word you come up with) to pick a new word or action.

End:

Five minutes before ending the game give your child a notice to have them prepared. 

Activity Three

Fine motor skills: (10 minutes)

Use small Lego pieces to build structures with your child.

Encourage your child to pull them apart from each other when they need support. Let your child guide you to what and how they want the structure to be built.
