Hi Friends,
Welcome to our fourth day of summertime Play K. I am so very glad you decided to join us:)
Our program is designed to provide opportunity for our young friends to practice some of the skills they will use when starting Kindergarten: read, write, listen, speak & most of all, PLAY!
It is our hope that children will find a comfortable space to engage in the program, one where they can easily move around & make a noisy mess. And since were are meeting in virtual space, we have divided the program into 3 sections so that children do not have to sit captive for 30+ minutes---feel free to stop the video for a snacks, bathroom breaks or work on one of the independent activities...then come back when ready. So turn on your brain-bulbs & let's get ready to play!
During Circle Time, we will sing the Days of the Week song, count some Googly Eyes & play Rhyming Sharks.
Today, our friends Sun & Wind stop by to enjoy a story that encourages us to play while we read.
During Journal Time today, we will investigate the Mystery Box & try to illustrate a story using old magazines.
Today we will sing a color song & play the Walking-Hopping game during movement time.
I hope to see you again tomorrow for more rumpity-bumpity fun!
