Language Arts: "In the Big Blue Sea" & "Caps of Many Colors" stories - Developing creative writing skills. We learned about using descriptive words with colors (such as Lemon Yellow, rather than just plain Yellow), and descriptive words for what something might sound like, like Splish and Splash. In the book, In the Big Blue Sea, there are photographs of vibrantly colored fish and undersea life. For lunch, I made them a fun underwater scene to fit the lesson theme with their bean patties, veggies and salami... before they ate, they added more veggies and made them swim around like little fish on the plate before being eaten by the big, giant human.
We also had an online Live Lesson on Tuesday with her teacher. She read the class a story about a bear waking up from hibernation and was so hungry that he ate too much and couldn't fit back into his house for his birthday party. Then, she asked the class questions, and the kids are able to practice typing in the "chat " box (everyone can see your answer typed in the chat box area). Usually, the kids dictate to us Learning Coaches/Parents what to type, but sometimes I let her find the next letter on the keyboard to type, and then press the Enter key to publish the comment.
Math: One-to-One Correspondence, Same Number, and one more vs. one less. Using connecting cubes, crayons, and circle counters, we visually demonstrated one-to-one correspondence (noticing when or if everything has a match, and if any are left over). This helps with the concept of having one more, or one less. We also showed same numbers of objects organized in different ways to show that the same number of objects can look different.
Activities - Bouncing a ball: Dribbling with two hands, then try with one hand. Bouncing a ball to hit a target on the floor, and bouncing a ball so that after it bounces, it hits a target on the wall.
