LCTA Virtual Learning
Hi friends, it's Earth Day!
Isn't it so convenient that we sang Bee Bee Bumble Bee on Monday? Bees are so important to our environment. In honor of Earth Day, Google has dedicated it's homepage to learning about bees today. There's also a pollination game involved. Did I check it out before posting this blog? Of course I did! I enjoyed it and I bet you will too. So, go play and learn about bees! Today is movement Wednesday! I have a movement game that goes with our Bee Bee Bumble Bee song that we learned on Monday. The Earth Day theme continues! It is a circle game that involves tapping the beat in other people's hands while walking on the inside of the circle (almost like an inside out duck duck goose). Don't have enough people in your household to make a circle? Don't worry, I didn't either, so today you get to see all the different toys and stuffed animals I have lying around my house. If you have live animals that are willing to sit still, you could attempt to use them, too. There was absolutely no way Killian or Lola were going to be willing to sit long enough for me to play a game with them, but I bet if they were patient dogs it would have worked. Or, you could at least get a laugh trying. You can learn how to play the game here and watch me demonstrate, as well. I am going to emphasize what I said in the end of the video so that it is mentioned two times. If you have young siblings be very wary of playing with them. This game can get very upsetting when a young child who doesn't understand the concept of "out" gets out for the first time. Tears can happen and we definitely do not want that during quarantine. If you would like to teach them how to sing the song and be the person tapping hands, this would be the safest route. It assures they participate in the game and have a positive experience from the start. On a side note, I found this video this morning of Olaf playing instruments and had to share it with you. Speaking of instruments, a fifth grader from Mr. Albert's class wanted to let all of you know that a great way to make an instrument at home is with an empty box. An empty box easily becomes a great drum to play at home! Find a box and start tapping out some cool rhythms. Thank you to this fifth grader for some great ideas during our time at home! That's all for today. See you on Friday!
