They will listen to grandma and grandpa calling on the phone, hear a conversation between two friends, and take turns with classmates playing the triangle and rolling a ball. The story Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap will have the children listening and moving with lots of different animal family members. Come join the fun! Sing and play with your Family & Friends!

Up in the Sky
In your Home Kit read the story we’re sharing in class called Someone Bigger, about a boy who wants to take over the reins of the family kite. Then grab a scarf or handkerchief and imitate the up and down crouching, reaching, and running associated with flying a kite—just like the boy in our story. Your Family Guide magazine includes activities you can easily incorporate into your day to reinforce our counting and color-learning activities in class.

Down on the Ground
