Week 4
Community
Our character education
focus will be on developing
the concepts of tolerance
and helpfulness.
During the next four weeks, we will be learning about the diversity
of families and family homes. Children will discover the essence of
friendships and recognize that family pets are sometimes among
their best friends. We will move from friends at home, to friends
at school, and finally to friends within the community. Children
will develop an understanding of diversity, love, support, comfort,
helpfulness, and cooperation.
Literacy
Math
We will read a storybook based on this traditional
song. It celebrates many different animal families.
The song has hand motions too. Your child will enjoy
sharing them with you!
Children will be learning to describe and classify
objects by their attributes and will focus on oneto-one correspondence. Ask your child to help you
match the socks in the laundry basket. Begin with
pairs of socks of different colors and sizes. (Don’t
expect your preschooler to sort a pile of white
athletic socks.) Spread the socks out on a large
surface. Hold up one sock and search with your
child to find its mate. Repeat until all the socks are
matched.
Skidamarink
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you.
Notes
I love you in the morning
And in the afternoon,
I love you in the evening
And underneath the moon;
Oh, Skidamarink a dink a dink,
Skidamarink a doo,
I love you!

Literacy
Can you find these signs in your
neighborhood? Tell someone what
each sign means and why it is
important.
Outdoors
Visit a neighborhood park. Enjoy the
playground equipment or simply play
catch with a partner. Stand facing
each other and throw a ball back
and forth. Start with a small, soft
foam ball and change balls as your
throwing and catching skills improve.

Calming Strategy
Show your family how to do the Balloon
calming strategy. Do it if you feel upset.
● Place your hands on your head and
lock fingers together.
● Breathe in deeply, and raise your
hands over your head like your air is
filling up a balloon.
● Sniff in more air. Sniff in one more
time.
Theme Job
Math
How many windows are in your
house? How many spoons are in the
drawer? How many plates are on the
table? How many shoes are by the
door? Practice counting every day.
Sometimes it’s fun to count with a
partner—you say one number, your
partner says the next number.
©2010 Frog Street Press, Inc.
Begin to learn your address. Do you
know the name of the town and
the street where you live? Is there a
number on your house or on your
apartment? When mail arrives, look
at an envelope. Do you know any
of the letters or the numerals in the
address?

● Then let the air out as you drop your
hands back down to your head.
● Make a “ppppbbbbbbbb” sound as
the air empties from the pretend
balloon.
