Hi everyone

We wanted to tell you we are continuing this theme. We are doing the GROCERY THEME. This will include talk about trips to the grocery store. We will read books about grocery stores, songs and fun pretend play. When you have time talk with your child about the grocery store and what things they might notice In the store. Talk about different roles you could pretend to play in the grocery store. Like Cashier, customer, stocker who stocked the shelves, there could be a flower shop, a Starbucks, also a store manager. Try and have fun with it.

We are on week 12 in the child center

Your child can explore and learn online and interact in some additional learning activities. I emailed you the password.  

 GROCERY THEME

In our classroom we set up things like this with role cards so the kids can do pretend play and act out a role. Kids love to be the cashier and it also helps with their math skills by counting and sorting. Encourage you children to make a shopping list they can have you help them write or draw pictures of the food.

This week our pretend play is the cashier and we were practicing scanning items as we are the cashier. Next we will pretend to bag up the items. When we scan each item we say beep, beep.

Art / Writing

Encourage your child to make a grocery list. You can help support them if they need help writing. Another idea you could do is have your child draw a picture of the item they want on their list. They could tape or glue it to their list if the want. Ask your child what kinds of things they need on their grocery list. Share with them what you put on your grocery list. Last encourage them to do pretend play and play roles of cashier, customer, mom, dad, manager, delivery driver.

Language / Literacy

As you read books with your children. Asking them open ended questions and encourage them to tell you what the story was about. Ask them to see if they can tell you some details from the story.

Encourage your child to find and read books about families.
