Let’s Get Ready: Tools you will
need to do your work.
a.
Pencil
b.
Crayons and/or Colored Pencils
c.
Scissors
d.
Glue Stick
e.
Manipulatives (These are items that your child
can count, sort, make patterns with, and so on.
For example: color crayons, Easter eggs, erasers, paper clips, clothes
pins, legos – be creative.
3.
Identifying L – Paper titled “Check It Out!” Have your child circle each letter L that
he/she finds. Trace the letter L at the
bottom of the page and challenge your child to try to write three more on the
line provided. Don’t forget to have your
child write his/her name at the top of the page. For the Lightbulb Idea, check out an ebook if
you can OR pretend to check a book out from your own “library” at home.
4.
Math: Weight
·
Use a balance scale if you have one. If not, see if you can create one using items
from around the house.
·
Go for a walk.
On your walk observe and compare the weight of various items. Stop and lift items such as leaves, rocks and
balls. Allow your child to try to pick
up an object, like your car or truck, that is too heavy to lift, so that he/she
can understand how heavy some objects can be.
·
After your walk make a list of the items your
child lifted.
·
Then classify these items into the following
categories: too heavy to lift, heavy, not heavy.
·
Practice comparing objects. If you have them, use 2 gift bags with
handles, other bags with handles will work also. Have your child gather an assortment of
objects from around the house. Place one
object in each bag. Then pick up the bags,
one in each hand. Compare the
weight. Raise your arm up, holding the
bag that feels lighter up higher. Hold the
heavier bag by your knee. OR Have your child stand with his/her arms out
like the letter T. Grown up, place a bag
in each of your child’s hands. If the
bag feels light have your child make that hand go up. For the bag that feels heavier, make that hand
go down.
·
Thinking Challenge: Have your child name an object that is small,
but heavy and an object that is big but light.

Bible Story: Jesus dies and Arises (Matthew 27-28)
a.
Gather 3 Easter eggs in 3 different colors or
cut an egg shape from 3 colors of construction paper.
b.
If using plastic eggs, make sure they are
empty. (Empty eggs are resurrection
eggs. The egg is empty just like Jesus’
tomb was empty on Easter.) Hide the eggs
around the room.
c.
Tell your child to find 3 eggs. Each one should be a different color. Each time you find one, shout
“Alleluia!” If you see an egg with the
same color you already have, leave it for someone else to find. (Hide more eggs, enough for 3 per child, if
you have more children participating.)
After finding 3 eggs, return to your Bible story spot and place the eggs
on the floor in front of you.
d.
Say – Alleluia is a praise word to God. It’s a word we use when we want to say “Hooray, God!” and tell Him how
wonderful He is. We say alleluia
to God the Father because He sent Jesus to die on the cross. We say alleluia to Jesus because He
suffered for all our sins-the bad things we do.
We say alleluia to the Spirit because He gives us faith to
believe God’s love. We say alleluia
because we know Jesus is alive. Read
Matthew 28:5-6. Say the Bible verse
for this week: “We believe that Jesus died and rose again.” 1 Thessalonians
4:14.
e.
Sing:
“Jesus is Alive” to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell.” This song can be found at the end of
yesterday’s Bible story prior to the prayer.
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank you for being punished for my sins. Thank you for loving me so much. Help me to love you too. Amen.
Today’s Extra: Have your child help make lunch and/or
dinner. Talk about the ingredients and
tools you use. Enjoy!
*Remember, you can do a little or a
lot. These are suggestions to help your
child stay on track for Kindergarten in this challenging time. Mrs. Sistrunk and I appreciate any of your efforts.
