1 file available upon enrollment✍️ MATERIALS: * A bean bag or hacky sac for movement activities (and adequate space away from the desk to be able to move) * Crayons or color pencils * Unlined paper or notebook * Dice * Paper plate * Yarn * Scissors * Printouts (provided each week) * Water bottle * Optional for hands-on practice game: Egg carton, markers, cardstock
The movement activities will improve the children’s ability to coordinate the left and right sides of their body and improve their spatial awareness. The movements will be done at a gradual and comfortable pace. They will include: tossing a bean bag from one hand to another, under the legs, in a straight line from one hand to the hand below, balancing it on their heads, timing a toss with a clap, stomping and clapping at different intervals. Simultaneously, we recite the times tables (forwards and backwards) to allow the children to focus and be present in their body while working with math and speech. During these 3-5 minute movement activities, parents could accompany and supervise their children. Children should have space away from walls and furniture pieces, and footwear which provides good support. Children will need scissors to cut the paper plate and yarn while making their multiplication circles. Parents are asked to provide appropriate supervision when necessary.
