Please keep sending them! Can't wait to have you back at school! Love, Ms. Ale.
MONDAY
Circle Time: We are going to sing some of our favourite nursery rhymes and do autonomy imitation games.
AUTONOMY IMITATION GAME
Instructions: provide them with the opportunity to copy your actions during various routines by encouraging them to execute simple tasks such as turning off the lights, handing out sip cups, or carrying a pot or dish to the kitchen at the end of the meal. You can use illustrations to represent tasks children are able to perform or take part in.
Activity: Clock Schedule
Instructions: The objective is to combines his love for numbers, schedules and routines. You can use a paper and start writing all your daily schedule, you can write the time and put a check when you are done with it!
Instructions: Play with a ball and invite child to copy your actions. Sit on the floor and roll the ball towards the child and wait for him/her to roll it back to you. Encourage children to take turns pushing the ball with their feet, throwing it with their hands, and tossing it into a large box or laundry basket.
TUESDAY
Circle Time: We are going to sing some of our favourite nursery rhymes and play the animal walk.
GAME: THE ANIMAL WALK
Instructions: Inside or out encourage your child to slither like a snake, hop like a frog, gallop like a horse, or walk like a bear on all fours.
Activity: Free Play, a place to play!
Instructions: Provide your child with a space in your home for imaginative play. It could be a separate room or even just the corner of a room. Fixed or build-in wardrobes are great places for imaginative play.
Another great place for imaginative play is the dinner table, remove all the chairs and cover the table with sheets, it becomes an instant cubby house or even a castle where a beautiful princess is kept captive by an evil dragon.
Couches are another great place to begin imaginative play; again a sheet thrown over the couch can become a tunnel or a cave that an explorer needs to investigate. Canopies and play tents can create a great place to begin the imaginary world. The play corner or imaginative play area should be changed regularly with different props and toys to keep children stimulated by it.
Sensory Activity: Feel & find sensory box!
Instructions: Create your own box or a basket. The idea is to put in different objects and for the child to feel and find out what it is. You can use toys, food or any material.

The objective of the activity is to match and glue colors. If you don't have a glue stick use white glue and you can also put it in a small plastic cap. You can use any shape, color and paper.
We also have a small experiment you can do with your child at home. This will help them understand what are germs and the importance of hand washing. See video on Whatsapp!
