Parents, you may have been wondering what we mean by loose parts when you hear your children refer to them. Loose parts are a fabulous way to engage imaginative play and connect to many different areas of learning. Our kindergarten children are all familiar with using loose parts for storytelling and retelling, counting in math and many other things. Watch this story together to see how we can use loose parts to share and generate ideas.
My Dog Is As Smelly As Dirty Socks
Today’s assignment is to find a shoebox or other small box that your child can collect their own loose parts collection in. Look around your house (buttons, paper clips, plastic lids from bottles, nuts and bolts, etc.) and go outside in your yard or on a community walk to collect items (small rocks, twigs, pinecones, etc.). Children might want to sort their loose parts into bags or keep them mixed and sort them in different ways each time they use them. Keep these on hand in their loose parts box for ongoing activities we will work on this week.
After you’ve made a collection of parts, use your loose parts to make some portraits of you and/or your family! Please upload at least one of your child's loose part portraits to IRIS. You may want to revisit the book to gain some more ideas.
Have fun collecting and creating with your loose parts collection!
Math: Games
Materials: deck of cards, 2 dice
Concentration or Memory: Remove all face cards and jokers from the deck. Pick out two suits to use. Mix up the two suits and then arrange the cards in rows face down. Have your child flip over two cards. If the cards are a match, they get to keep them and go again. If not, they flip them over and then it is your turn. Play continues until all matches are made. Winner is the person with the most matches.
Finger Dot Match: For this game your child will need two dice. Hold up any number of fingers, and then have your child find the corresponding dots on the dice. Extension: Roll 2 dice Show how many on one hand and how many and how many on the other hand. Then figure out how many are all together.
Guess My Number: Use regular playing cards #1-10 -Draw 1 card and have your partner guess which card you have by giving a number clue of one more or one less than the card (ie. Draw 3, clue is “my card is one more than 2”)
*If you cannot make today's meet enjoy Snow Friends. After watching the story can you draw a picture about what happens in the story. Remember to add lots of details and colour in the lines. After drawing your picture. Can you label any of the items in your picture with their beginning letter sound? For example, if you hear the letter sound s for snowman, add an s to your picture.
Now don't forget we are all writer's so add printing at the bottom to share about what happens in the story. You can use swirly writing, but we would like to see you try and use some letter sounds to describe what is happening in your picture too. You can start you sentence with, "I liked when..."
And for fun at home ... try our daily scavenger hunts this week!
