This week is our “Great Outdoors” week which we were hoping to spend some time exploring the outdoors. But, this week may be a bit rainy. Each day has an activity planned with nature items that you find outside. So if you do not like the rain or cannot go out each day, collect enough nature items (leaves, twigs, rocks, etc.) to use for 3 projects. Writing TimeWrite your nameWrite the date: 5-12-20Write the word of the day: CAMPWriting Time Reminders: -Names can be all uppercase, or start with uppercase and then use lower case. -Parents write the date first, then kids write or trace it. -”Word of the Day” words reinforce the weekly theme and provide practice writing letters that may not appear in their names. Parents can talk about the word and encourage a story or drawing -Parents, your children may need help with these tasks, so feel free to practice along with them. Circle TimeCamping is a vacation where you go spend time out in the wilderness. You sleep outside (not in your house) and maybe use a fire to cook your meals. It is a great way to rest, recharge and have some fun with friends and family. It’s almost camping season! The weather is getting warmer! Well, maybe not today; I think it may rain. Have you been camping with your family?? Where? You could draw a picture in your journal about the last time you were camping. There are many different places to go camping There are a few different ways to go camping When camping you are spending time away from your home. You can’t just run to the kitchen when you want a snack! What kind of things do you think you should take camping? What do you gather to help your family get ready for a camping trip? Can you find these items around the house? Have your parents copy this list in your journal. Check mark all the items you can find. Or print the PDF below
Now you are ready to go camping! It might be rainy today, let’s pretend to go camping inside our own house. Do you have a tent? Ask your parents to pop it up inside the house. Or, make your own with blankets and sheets. Drape them over chairs or even a table. Make a pretend fire, play games, tell stories. Have fun bringing the outdoors inside!

Here are the Instructions and Pictures: First, collect your items! You can find rocks, leaves, pine cones, twigs, flowers, wood chips, or you can collect beads, buttons, beans, pennies, dice, or whatever you think of! Second, draw out your alphabet! Parents may need to help us with some of our letters! You can draw them using sidewalk chalk or with a drawing utensil on paper. (Put many letters on one page, or make them bigger with just one or two letters). Make sure you draw the letters nice and big so that you can fit your items on them! Last of all, use the supplies you collected to trace your alphabet letters! Here are some ways to engage learning in your activity: Can you think of items in nature that start with the letter you are tracing? Can you think of a friend that has a name with that letter? How do your nature items feel? How many letters can you make with the items you found? Can you spell your name with your items? Daily Book ReadingThree times a week, help your preschooler to pick out a book and read it together. Then, help your preschooler to create a journal entry using any of these same options from our book bag job.
