read with your child every day. Read to them and/or

listen to them read aloud each day even if it’s just 5

minutes.

Lesson Focus Letter/ Sound- Letter Oo is a vowel. It

has 2 sounds. The long sound /o/ like

ocean and the short sound /o/ like owl.

dash and little circle around. Remember

to use the lines so your letters aren’t

floating!

Kindergarten Sight Word List

Sight words are words that appear often in written text, but do not follow traditional phonetic rules. Therefore,

sight words are often very tricky for students to sound out. It is our goal for all Kindergarteners to know 100

sight words by the end of the year. Once students learn these 100 sight words they will be able to read many

more books! Please practice these words with your child at home.

Playing hide & seek with your children is a great way to encourage physical activity and healthy exercise habits. This version of hide & seek played with your new paper octopus friends, also helps children build critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Here’s how to play:

– Have your child cover her eyes and count while you hide every paper octopus around the house or yard.

– Then, ask your child to find each octopus cut-out and return them to a designated area.

It’s a great rainy day game for getting all the wiggles out! My kids always ask to play this game over and over.

Octopus Games and Activities

Octopus One person is the “octopus.” Everyone lines up on one edge of the boundaries and must run to the opposite side when the octopus yells out “octopus.”

The people that get tagged by the octopus become frozen taggers. They are allowed to pivot on one foot and tag people as they run by. The last person caught is the new octopus.

Octopus Mark a goal line at each end of playing field. Choose a child to be the octopus, the rest of the children are fish.

The object is for the octopus to catch the fish by tagging them with a sponge ball. If a child gets hit they must freeze and become an octopus tentacle. The tentacle may help the octopus by using their hands outstretched to tag fish. Only the octopus may move however.

To begin playing, all fish line up at one goal line. The octopus calls out,”Fish, fish, swim in my ocean.” At this command the fish must try to cross the ocean without getting caught. The last one to be tagged is the next octopus.

Math How many legs does an octopus have? Count them and explain octo means eight. Collect different items of eight in each group.

Science Where do octopus’ live? What do they eat? Cut out and laminate pictures of real octopus’ and discuss their features.

Background Information An octopus has 8 arms called tentacles. These arms are webbed together by a layer of skin called a mantle. Under this layer of skin are color cells that make the octopus look white, grey, orange, red, or brown.

Being able to change colors can help the octopus catch its dinner. It’s bright colors attract and confuse other sea animals. When they swim closer to look at the octopus, he catches the animal for his dinner.

There are rows of suction cups along the edges of the arms that stick to objects and help the octopus pull itself along and move. When the octopus is in danger, it can squirt a cloud of black ink so the animal can’t see it. Then it swims away fast.

If one of the tentacles gets caught or bitten off by an animal, like a shark, it will grow back in a few weeks. Octopus eggs are very tiny (microscopic), about the size of a grain of rice.

Mother octopi lay about 1000 eggs at a time. She cares for them in a nest she builds under rocks. Once the eggs hatch, the mother dies. Sadly, her work is done.

Octopus Recipes and Snacks

Octopus Soup Ingredients Hot dogs (fattest kind you can find) Small pasta shells Directions 1. Slice hot dogs lengthwise to within 1″ from end 2. Keep slicing the hot dog until you have about 4-8 “legs” 3. Boil shells according to package directions 4. About 4 minutes before the pasta is done put the hot dogs in the boiling water. 5. When completely cooked, drain well 6. Toss shells with butter or margarine and serve with the hot dogs 7. The hot dogs will curl up and look just like an octopus!

Octopop! In a Dixie cup, pour juice (orange, apple, fruit punch, etc.), put in a craft stick. Put in gummy worms hanging over the edge to look like legs. When the pop is taken out of the cup it looks like an octopus on a stick.

Octopus Songs, Poems and Finger Plays

Lesson Time

Your child is reviewing how to make new friends by: • Inviting others to play •Asking to join others in play

Your child is also reviewing the Fair Ways to Play with friends:

•Play together•Trade•Take turns

Practicing these friendship skills will help your child make new friends and get along with others in kindergarten.

Play Time

Play a game with your child. Practice making new friends by asking to join in and inviting others to play.

Say: We are going to play New Friends. Select a toy or small household item to play with. I’m going to play with this toy. You’re going to watch and then ask in a friendly voice to join in. Have your child say, “Can I play with you?” Choose one of the Fair Ways to Play, and play with the toy.

Switch and have your child play with the toy while you watch. Now you’re going to invite me to play. Have your child say, “Would you like to play with me?” Then have your child choose one of the Fair Ways to Play, and play with the toy.

Story Time

In this week’s story, Caleb and Scott are reading together. Jevonn wants to join the boys. Ask your child about this story. • What do you see in this photo?• What can Jevonn do to join in? (Say hello. Say it looks like fun. Ask to read with them.)• What can Caleb and Scott say to invite Jevonn to join them? (Do you want to read with us?

Come read with us!)

Let’s practice what Jevonn can say to join in. Pretend you are Caleb or Scott and your child is Jevonn. Have your child ask, “May I read with you?”
