Join Us for a Virtual Dance Party Head Start Parents will have a chance to meet Ms. Izzey this month. If your preschooler has come home talking about Ms. Izzey and her musical instruments, you won’t want to miss our Virtual Dance Party on March 30. The 30-minute session will be filled with music, dancing, engagement and lots of fun. Ms. Izzey will share the importance of music in preschool. Ms. Izzey visits Head Start classrooms once each month and also sends weekly videos. Her videos have been one of the more popular features of LCCAA Head Start during the pandemic when we have had periods of virtual learning. Check ClassTag or with your child’s teacher for login credentials.
Book of the Month: How to
Catch a Leprechaun
Building a leprechaun trap is a fun activity to do with your child before St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. You’ll find some fun ideas in How to Catch a Leprechaun by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton.
Stomper’s Reading Club Returns LCCAA Head Start students will again have a chance to read their way to a Lake Erie Crushers game by participating in Stomper’s Reading Club. During March students who read at least three books will receive a free ticket to a Crushers game. A date for a Head Start night is still being finalized. For more information on Stomper’s Reading Club, please contact your teacher, family service worker or home visitor.
Even though there are no such thing as leprechauns, it is fun to watch your preschoolers think about ways to try to catch this trickster for his pot of gold! Using their creativity to build traps also encourages them to use critical thinking and engineering skills. If your little one loved this book, there are more in the series including How to Catch an Elf, Tooth Fairy, Unicorn, Turkey, Mermaid, and more.
LCCAA Will Mark Week of the Young Child LCCAA Head Start children, families and staff are invited to celebrate the Week of the Young Child, April 4 through 8. We plan a fun-filled week celebrating early learning, young children, their teachers, families, and communities. Additional details will be posted on Classtag and communicated with families. For Music Monday, join us for a
virtual field trip to the Great Lakes Science Center for “Seeing Sound.” Can fire dance to music? We will observe sound vibrations as we demonstrate how our senses help us
hear, feel and even see sound.
For Tasty Tuesday, expect treats from our nutrition staff. Work Together Wednesday will highlight cooperation in the classroom and for Artsy Thursday students will learn about artists and create their own paintings. Playing a family game is encouraged for Family Friday. Talk to your teacher for ideas.
