about the weather, Sing our ABC’s in sign language and complete attendance check-in. Each child will be
given the opportunity to spell their name and put their name on the Check-In board, then they will be
asked to show me a specific shape or color, and finally they will be given an opportunity to jump while we
clap and sing for them.

Handwriting Without Tears:
Warm Up – Rolling Playdough: Children love to roll dough snakes. This activity helps them build
strength in their fingers.
Wood Piece Play: Wood Piece Play has no entry requirements. Every child can play regardless of
readiness level. Wood Piece Play takes children from the very beginning to teach everything they need
for readiness and pre-writing. To children, it’s just play- but this is play that leads directly to school
readiness skills.
