Nicholas James Bucco First Christms Smiling at Mommy and Daddy
12/3/19 6lbs 7ozHello to my 3K-1 family, it's Ms. Kelly. I am officially returning back to Sacred Heart after months of being on maternity leave. I am so upset that my return is through a computer and we cannot see each other face to face. This is a very strange way of life, however, we will all get through this and be together once again.
Thank you, Miss Jamie, Miss Diana and Ms. Alice for holding down the fort while I was home bonding with my son, Nicholas. I will be making phone calls and emails to our families within the next few days to catch up with everyone.
Love, Ms. Kelly

Welcome back boys and girls! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed the break. This week we are going to continue to learn all about Caring. We first learned about different ways to take care of ourselves by washing our hands, eating healthy and going to visit the dentist and doctor. Now we are going to learn more about how we can care for others.Listen to the book Hands Say Love by George Shannon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTd_QkkqunEThis book talks about the things people can do with their hands to show they care.
Parents, some questions you can ask your child while reading:
*What are some of the things the people in this book do to care for each other?
*Remember when the big child was helping the little child? Have you ever helped
someone smaller than you? What did you do to help?
*An adult in this book gives a hug to a child who was feeling sad. What else can we do to
help people when they feel sad?Activity
Just like the family in the book, let’s use our hands to show how much we care for our families. Let’s use our hands to help set the table before a meal, wash dishes, clean up our toys, or give a hug. We can even use our hands to make something special for someone we love. Make a card or picture for someone you care about and surprise them with it!
Art
During this time, we are spending a lot of time at home with our families to stay safe. Let’s make something to show how much we care for our families. Grab some construction paper or colored paper and make a handprint for each member of your family and glue it together to remember the time you spent together.
Gross Motor
Squish the Bugs Alphabet Game. Using sidewalk chalk, draw circles for bugs and write a letter inside each one. After you make your bugs, call out a letter for your child to “squish.” If you do not have sidewalk chalk, this can be done indoors using pieces of paper with each letter.

Yesterday we learned about how dentist help us take care of our teeth and our mouths healthy. We even practiced brushing and flossing! Today we are going to learn about another adult who can help take care of us. Doctor's can help take care of us when we are healthy and when we don't feel well.
Learn all about what doctor's do by watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwx2Z69S0YA
Activity
Doctor’s use special tools to help make us feel better. Go on a scavenger hunt at home and see if you can find tools that can help our bodies. (e.g. toothbrush, hairbrush, utensils). You can also design your own doctor's bag and find/draw pictures of tools that doctor's use
Gross Motor
This week we learned that exercise helps keep our bodies healthy. Watch one of the yoga videos below or you can make an obstacle course in your own home. Use chairs, pillows, towels, etc. Be creative and have fun!

ThursdayYesterday we learned about choosing healthy foods for our bodies and even did some exercise. Today we are going to learn about who can help take care of us. One of the people who can help take care of us is a Dentist. Remember when the dentist visited us at school and talked about all the foods that help keep our teeth healthy.
How many times do we have to brush our teeth a day? That's right 2 times a day!
Watch as Bebe visits the dentist:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp-VFWS9Rio
Activity
Practice brushing teeth! For this activity you will need an empty ice cube tray (can substitute a plastic cup for the brushing part) and an old toothbrush (can substitute a cotton ball for a tooth brush). If you have playdough at home you can put it into between the groves and use a piece of string to floss it out. While your child is working, talk about why we brush and floss our teeth. (When food and germs stay on our teeth, they can get holes called cavities. So we brush our teeth clean!) If you have a dry erase marker at home you can either make dots for cavities to brush off or write letters/numbers on each spot and ask your child “Find letter/number...and brush it off.”
If you don't have play dough at home here are a couple recipes to make your own
Art
We've learned that there are foods that are healthy for your teeth and some that are not. Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one sign glue or draw foods that are healhty for your teeth and on the other side glue or draw foods that are not healthy for your teeth.

Yesterday we learned about why it's important to wash our hands and how to get rid of germs to keep our body healthy. Another way to care for our bodies is to eat healthy foods.
Watch this video as Bebe and her dad learn about healthy foods while packing for a picnic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJMkepxWlFo
ActivityMake a healthy snack with your parents. Which foods did you use? Be creative and see if you can make an animal, face, or even a vehicle out of your healthy snack
Dramatic Play
Pretend you're going to the grocery store. Before you go, you'll need to make a list. What kinds of foods will you get? Have your families find magazine or store ads to cut out foods that you can glue to your shopping list.
Another way to keep our bodies healthy is exercise. Watch the videos below to get your body moving!

Caring
Today we are going to start our new unit on Caring. We will learn about how to care for others, ourselves, and our environment. Parents, start by asking your child how can we show we care or love someone?
Listen to the story The Caring Me I Want To Be:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qk3CLIiU44

If you have a printer at home, you can print out the booklet and have your child draw a picture for any or all of the caring pages.

Science
Will the Wind Move It? Place a light object (e.g. cotton ball, feather, piece of paper, round pencil, small ball, etc.) on one end of a table and see if you and your child can blow it to the other side. Before blowing the object, ask your child to guess or predict what will happen to it. Will it move or stay where it is? How far will it move? Prompt them by saying “I predict that…”Repeat with other objects of differing weights and have your child make predictions of what will happen.
Art
Painting with cars. Have your child find a toy car or another toy with wheels. Children dip the tires/wheels in paint and roll it across their paper to make tire tracks
**If you don't have paint at home here are 2 recipes you can try**

Puddle Jump
Since we’ve been away from school, we’ve started a new season. We said goodbye to Winter and hello to Spring! The weather starts to get cooler, flowers start to bloom, and it often rains. And we all know what rain makes: PUDDLES. Listen to one of the stories below about puddles and practice “puddle jumping” to help move your body. Parents you can also use construction paper and make puddles for your children to "jump" into. Try writing letters or numbers in each puddle and ask your child to find the right puddle to jump into.
How many “puddle jumps” does it take to get from one room in your house to another? It takes Miss Diana 4 puddle jumps to get from her kitchen to her living room.Stories to listen to:

Once you’ve created your ramp, grab different things (toy car, small ball, doll, button, etc.) and test out how they each move on the ramp. Before testing each item make a prediction (a guess) about how fast, slow, or far each item will go. Try making a chart or graph to show your results. Send me a picture of you and your ramp so that I can share it with your friends on our Website and Instagram.
