Welcome to a Wonderful Wacky Wednesday! Are you doing something wacky today? Mrs. Cosgrove had some great wacky jokes on the morning message.
Please note it is important to keep in mind your child's IEP goals. These skills may be addressed through the provided activities as well as the very natural everyday interactions such as daily routines and play. Play with your child as play is a child's work. All areas of development - cognitive, social/emotional, motor, and speech/language skills are achieved through everyday activities including play.
These are all suggestions for you to have in one location; if you find, that you need additional resources for your child. Our key word is Flexible and that is very important when working with young children. If you are in need of other resources, please just contact me. I will continue to send a morning email each school day with links to this page, my video, along with Ms. Cosgrove's morning message. It is important to email me your child's attendance, by 10am, each day so I may record it.
Please continue to email me your pictures. I love seeing your faces!

Suggested Activities
Read Alouds -
Planting a Rainbow - Lois Ehlert
Flower Craft
Trace circles - 6 large and 6 small - vary colors. No color paper - have your child decorate white paper with color. Have your child cut each circle. Have your child snip around large circles to create "petals". Glue small circle in the center of the larger circle. Add stems, grass - glue onto a sheet of paper.
Building Flower Patterns
Build flowers with blocks, legos, etc. Encourage your child to label colors of blocks used, number of blocks used, compare sizes of the flowers, etc. Go on a walk outside - have your child find flowers growing. Carry over the talk from your block flowers to what you are seeing outside.

Letter Ww Weekly Activities
Letter Ww and alphabet songs
Letter Ww - Mystery Box
Find and place 5-7 items/pictures that begin with the letter Ww. Have your child label each item/picture - talk about the item/picture - place items/pictures in box. Have your child recall the items that have been placed into the box. Repeat this activity daily with your child. Some items/pictures will be recalled easily - others may require a clue. Make this into a game with your child. This is an activity that we do during our circle time and was enjoyed by all.
Sensory Writing
Write letter Ww as well as other letters and numbers in shaving cream, rice, sand, or flour. Any substance will work to give your child that sensory input when writing letters.
Rainbow Writing
Write your name and/or letters - trace over each with a new color creating rainbow writing
Music/Movement
Duck, Duck, Goose - A simple game that encourages following directions while moving. Have you child move in various ways - run, hop, jump, skip, crawl, etc
