Last week we learned about our community and that we live in what we call a city. In the city people’s homes and business places are close together. In our city community we might see people walking with dogs. In the city people may have small animals that live with them in their homes called pets. Pets can be found in different types of communities too. Pets are animals that live in people’s homes and that are cared for by the people they live with. Even in people homes pets can have their own spaces. Let’s learn about some common pets and their spaces within our homes.

called pets. Today we are going to learn about a different type of space people can live in called the country. In the country towns form communities. In the country the people and homes that are there are farther apart with more land between them. Farms are found in the country and Farmers are part of the community. Farmers grow crops on their farms and raise animals. We can find many animals on the farm. Farmers raise animals to help do different jobs on the farm and to make food like milk from cows. On a farm the animals have their own spaces just like pets that live in our homes. On farms most or all of the animals live in homes that are separate from the people who help take care of them. Let’s learn about some common Farm animals and their living spaces on the farm:

Horses and cows live in a barn

Pigs, sheep, and goats live in a pen

Chickens live in a chicken coup

Pretend Play: Students will pretend to make a famers breakfast. Or pretend to be gathering food from the farm animals to sell at the farmers market. The need to pretend to be farmers and milk the cow to get milk. Pick eggs (use balled up paper) from the chickens and cut wheat to make bread.

Pretend to build a farm, what different types of homes need to be on the farm for the different animals (barns, pens, and chicken coups) then sort the animals that live on the farm into their homes from the animals that do not live on the farm.

Art: Students will choose a farm animal to make. Each student will use crayon/paint create their farm animal and its home.

Writing: Work with your child on following directions for stopping and starting. Make

a large dot or draw a star in the shape of a square and +. Give your child the direction to draw a line down and show them where to start and stop to make the shapes.

Literacy: Books- Your child will sit with a parent and be taught book handling and care, turning pages, attending to 2D images, and attending to a story being read to them. Work on picture identification and what and where questions while looking at books. Work on finding words that begin with the letter of the week. Letter /Uu/.

/u/ for umbrella. Help students cut out a circle then cut it in half for the top of the umbrella. Then have students cut a long thin rectangl to mak the handle of the umbrella. Students can color and decorate their umbrellas and should write the letter u on the umbrella.

Math: Number Recognition/ Identification

You can create 2 sets of 0-10 flash cards:

lay out a field of 3 and ask your little learner to point to a number

or match.

Switch out numbers and repeat with new numbers. (recommend starting with match. If your little learner is able to successfully match all the numbers move to point. If your little learner is verbal, you can hold up number while asking “what number is this”)

Pretend play: students can use blankets chairs and pillows to build to build pretend:

month we will be leaning about different types of places where people and animals live.

Today we will learn about the desert:

The dessert is a dry place that has a lot of sand and little water/rain. In the daytime it is hot, and at night, it can get cold.

People live in the desert. They often live-in small-town communities like we find in the country. People who live in the desert live in homes that are called adobes or kutchas. People use mud/clay and straw to form the walls of the homes. They may use clay and dirt to make the bricks that they stack together to make a house.

People in the desert may also be members of communities that are called nomadic tribes. Nomadic tribes are people who constantly move through the desert. They use tents as homes. These tents made from canvas material and can be put up and taken back down quickly so

huts or tents. How many sides do we need and what can we put on top to create a shelter that makes it so that the outside world cannot see into our shelter.

Fine Motor/Manipulatives: Practice cutting playdough or paper with scissors. Work on hand grasp and opening and closing scissors.

Art: Students will use wet sand or sand like household items such as crushed crackers, brown sugar of slices of bread and stack them to create a desert shelter. Students could also use playdough to shape and build a desert home.

Writing: Work on drawing simple shapes on your white board or pieces of paper. Work on writing/tracing letters of the month: d/ I / u / z. Work on writing/tracing students' names.

Literacy: Books- Sit with your child to look at books. Work on book handling and care, turning pages, attending to 2D images, and attending to a story being read to them. Work on picture identification and what and where questions while looking at books. Work on finding words that begin with the letter of the week /Uu/.

Yesterday we learned about people who live in the desert and the homes they might live in. Today we are going to learn about some of the different animals that live in the desert and how they build their homes. When we talk about animals, we do not call it a community instead we call the space a habitat. A habitat is the area that animals live in where they build their homes and are able to get the food and water they need to live.

We learned yesterday that the dessert is a dry place that has a lot of sand and little water/rain. In the daytime it is hot, and at night, it can get cold.

Some animals like this habitat and build their homes there. Snakes, lizards, scorpions, and spiders all build homes by digging holes in the dirt/sand or living between rocks.

Music and Movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Luz-0XXMh8c&t=41s

Pretend Play/Kitchen: Students will pretend to live in the desert. Students will pretend to cook a prickly pear cactus for food. Use playdough to pretend to be the cactus and use some cut up pieces of pipe cleaner stuck in the playdough. Students will pretend to have to pick the prickers (pieces of q-tips) off cactus using tweezer before they can cook it in a pan.

Art: for spider if paint is not available, they can trace hands and color it.

Writing: Work with your child on following directions for stopping and starting. Make

a large dot or draw a star in the shape of a square and +. Give your child the direction to draw a line down and show them where to start and stop to make the shapes.

Literacy: Books- Sit with your child to look at books. Work on book handling and care, turning pages, attending to 2D images, and attending to a story being read to them. Work on picture identification and what and where questions while looking at books.

These animals use the hot sun the desert provides during the day to heat up their bodies and they burrow into their homes at night to help them stay warm at night.

Work on finding words that begin with the letter of the week /Uu/.

Dec. 18, 2020

The last two days we have been leaning about the desert and the types of homes animals and people. Today we are going to learn about the Rainforest. The Rainforest is different from the desert. The Rainforest is very hot day and night and gets a lot of rain. The rainforest has a lot of very large, tall trees that birds, and animals use as homes. Animals make holes in the trees and birds build nests to create their homes.

People live in the rainforests too. People who live in the rainforest live in communities called tribes. People who live in the rainforest use wood and dried out leaves from the trees in the rainforest to build homes called huts. Their homes are different from the homes we live in. The huts do not have an indoor bathroom and kitchen like we do. Their bathrooms and kitchens are often shared with other members of the tribe and are outside.
