Learning Goal: The sun gives us heat and light. Celebrate the last days of summer with these activities.
- Reading= What Can You Do in the Sun? by Anna Grossnickle Hines, Red, Red, Red by Valeri Gorbachev and On Earth by G. Brian Karas. Letter of the day: S is for sun.
- Science= Look at the sun with sunglasses. Observe shadows made by the sunlight. Trace the children’s shadows with sidewalk chalk. In a dark room, shine a flashlight onto a globe. Show how the sun casts a shadow on the spinning Earth to make day and night. Throughout the rest of the day, observe how the sun moves across the sky. Use chalk to trace the shadow made by a stationary object (a stick) over time (every hour).
- Art= Make a paper plate sunshine. Use yellow paint or crayons to color plate. Cut out orange triangles and staple them around the plate. Hang with string.
- Music= Move to music with Fur Elise by Beethoven. For example, pretend you’re swimming, riding a bike, etc. Or, sing You Are My Sunshine.
Play= Put on a puppet show using shadows on a hanging sheet. Or, enjoy your favorite summer activity (wade in the pool, melt popsicles, play hopscotch, picnic at the park, build sandcastles, etc.).
Fun fact: The last day of summer is Sept. 22.
