Activities
Day 2 Police/Law/Detective Work:
Pretend play with incident report and police badge sticker.
BOOK: Police Officers on Patrol by Kersten Hamilton
MATH-Money Sort
•Find all the change in your house and use the money mat to sort.
READING/WRITING:
Practice saying and writing Address, phone numbers, personal information.
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR-Police officers, enforce rules, create your own HOUSE RULES:
•Make your child a part of this. When they feel like they have a choice, they are more likely to not only follow the rules but it also helps them remember and builds their self-confidence in decision making.
•House rules, revisit school rules.
Short phrases, say what you WANT them to do, avoid negative phrases: Walking Feet VS Don’t Run
Screen time after ... VS No screen time until... will direct your child’s wanted behavior.
KIND WORDS VS We don’t say No, or other unwanted words.
This way you can have a script, such as, “Are those kind words, Abby?”, “What are some kind words?” These “go to” positive rules will also help to keep you, the parent calm and less stressed.
SCIENCE-Finger Prints:
•Color finger tip with washable marker and print on to paper. Do each family members and compare with magnifying glass. Encourage writing by labeling each family member’s prints with their name.
•Dust for finger prints. Press finger prints to a clean mirror. Use provided baking soda, and paint brush to gently dust over the print, lift the print with scotch tape

•Paper towel tube
•Funnel
•Tape, the experiment calls for electrical tape, but any tape will do.
•Balloon
Cut the end off a balloon and stretch the rest of it over the end of the funnel, secure with tape. The balloon helps to amplify the sound and you should be able to hear a heartbeat much easier. Fit the funnel into the paper towel tube with the large opening facing out, and tape to secure. Make sure you put enough tape on so there are no gaps between the funnel and the tube.
Place your ear at the cardboard end with the funnel on a friend’s chest and you should be able to hear their heart.

Week 6/Day 1 MCP Virtual Learning on Animals
Activities for Day 1 on Animals
BOOK: “Elmer the Patchwork Elephant” by David McKee
FINE MOTOR: Save the trapped animals:
•Ahead of time tape plastic animals from home to a cookie sheet or wrap them with the tape provided.
•Peeling and picking the tape will encourage fine motor growth.
•Save the trapped animals from the “tape”
•Give animals a bath
READING/WRITING-Mixed Up Alphabet
•Make a mixed up Alphabet wall with flash cards or spread on floor or table.
•3-4 yr. students- parents write the letters on provided sticky notes for child to match to flash cards.
•4-5 yr. students- parents encourage students to write the letters on sticky notes and match to the mixed up letter wall, table or floor.
ART: Elmer the Elephant
•Cut your empty milk jug to look like an elephant by cutting the bottom off and cutting 4 legs, 1 on each corner. Then cut some of the handle to look like a trunk.
•Save the plastic scraps to make and attach ears.
•Use glue stick to cover sections of the milk jug and then cover with tissue paper, until you have a patchwork elephant.
•Add eyes
SCIENCE: Elephant Toothpaste
•Set water bottle or pop bottle in the middle of tray or cookie sheet to catch the elephant toothpaste.
•In a SEPARATE container swirl or stir 2 Tablespoons of WARM water and (provided) 1 teaspoon of yeast.
•In your water/pop bottle mix (provided) 1/2 cup of 6% hydrogen peroxide with a squirt of dish soap.
•Pour the yeast mixture into the bottle and observe the chemical reaction.
•Allow your kiddo to have some sensory time and play with the elephant toothpaste. Is it warm? Or cold?
•Hydrogen peroxide naturally breaks down into water and oxygen. It is stored in opaque containers to help break down this process. Catalase (an enzyme in all living things, INCLUDING YEAST) speeds up the reaction. The dish soap catches the oxygen and makes bigger bubbles. I added the food coloring to the hydrogen peroxide to make it look more interesting. The foam feels warm because the reaction releases energy as heat.
