Hello parents, We wanted to share with you that in the learning packet for the week of April 20, you will find a daily social-emotional activity. These activities will help your child learn what to do when someone is not respecting their feelings, boundaries, or personal space. Talking with your child about these concepts is beneficial, but a young child’s learning can be additionally enhanced by adding visual cues. Visual cues help kids make sense of their world. For preschoolers, stretching their arms out wide and looking from side to side is a great way to show them how much space they should give their friends when walking or playing. Helping your child make a plan for what to do when someone isn’t respecting their boundaries, or is in their bubble, will give your child the chance to practice standing up for themselves. We have included some scenarios in the lesson plans that you can use to practice with your child. Here is the link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJb1KlBvpSg&feature=youtu.be This is my bubble, this is my bubble Don’t pop it, don’t pop it Please always ask me, please always ask me Before you come in, before you come in.

Hello parents,We wanted to share with you that in the learning packet for the week of April 20, you

will find a daily social-emotional activity. These activities will help your child learn what

to do when someone is not respecting their feelings, boundaries, or personal

space. Talking with your child about these concepts is beneficial, but a young child’s

learning can be additionally enhanced by adding visual cues. Visual cues help kids

make sense of their world. For preschoolers, stretching their arms out wide and looking

from side to side is a great way to show them how much space they should give their

friends when walking or playing. Helping your child make a plan for what to do when

someone isn’t respecting their boundaries, or is in their bubble, will give your child the

chance to practice standing up for themselves. We have included some scenarios in

the lesson plans that you can use to practice with your child.

Here is the link to the video:

Social/Emotional

Join in

cooperative play

• Use the top/lid of a box and 2- 3 small balls. With a knife carefully cut out 2 – 3 holes in the box either in a straight line, or diagonally depending on how big the box is. (You could also use an old towel.) Place the balls in the box and see if you and your child can get the balls to drop through the holes.

in CVC words(consonant/

vowel/consonant) such as cat, dog

• Find pictures in magazines, books, puzzles or hand drawn of words that have the CVC spelling such as cat, dog, cap, top hen etc. Say the word for your child, sounding out each individual sound such as c – a – t . See if your child can blend the sounds together to tell you what the word is. To make it easier, have the pictures on the table so they have a visual aid.

we use? Child (C) Is the blue one the right soap?

P – Why do you think we use that kind of soap? C –

It gets the dishes clean. Keep this conversation

going for up to 3 or 4 turns for each person.

pattern

• Use things from your house such as socks, Legos,

cups, plates, golf tees, etc. Start a pattern with a

big cup, little cup, big cup. Then ask your child

Bounce, catch and

kick a ball

• On a piece of paper, draw a circle and divide it

into sections like a pie. On each section, print

different types of movements you can do with a

scoops on each cone, adding one more to each

cone.
