Our four program-wide expectations are Be Compassionate, Be Curious, Be A Community and Be Courageous. This week we will focus on how children can be courageous.
We are courageous when we:
- Try new things for the first time
- Ask questions
- Make a mistake and try again
- Share their own feelings
- Stand up for what is right
In this week’s Learning Resource, you’ll find an activity to help your child learn about Being Courageous! Let us know how it went!
In this week’s learning resource, you’ll find an activity related to this week’s expectation. Let us know how it went!
Language / Literacy
Mystery Bag
Place three objects beginning with the same letter in a bag (such as ball, bug, and button for B).
Ask your child to pull each item out of the bag and name each item. Then ask them to name the letter.
Guess Who? Lang/Lit
Say three words.
Ask your child to guess whose name begins with the same sound as those three words. For example, call out:
- lake
- lemon
- lamp
Your child might say Lema. If there are more names in your family, they can call all names beginning with the same letter.
Math / Science
Three Sisters Soup
Click the link below to enjoy a book about vegetables and soup. Then you may want to make soup at home or draw pictures. You can talk about how the vegetables grew from a seed into a vegetable. Then you can talk about how the vegetable changes when cooked.

Be Courageous!
