We Wish You Well

My heart to your heart (point to own heart, and then partner’s heart)
I wish you well.
My elbow to your elbow (point own elbow in the air and then touch elbow to elbow with partner)
I wish you well.
My back to your back (touchback to partner’s back)
I wish you well.
How can we help everyone we know
How can we help each other grow
Sometimes it’s hard to know what to do
Wishing them well connects me and you
Wishing them well connects me and you.

Comparing

You can compare items from anywhere – everyday items from around the house or things outside. You can even compare things your child would have to use their imagination for because they couldn’t actually measure them for themselves For example: A tiger and a cat, which is heavy and which is light? Which is taller an ostrich or a giraffe?
Some of these words may be new vocabulary for your child so you may need to demonstrate the concept first, for instance when something is empty and when it’s full.

Language

The development of children’s early language skills is critically important for their future academic success. Language development indicators reflect a child’s ability to understand increasingly complex language (receptive language skills), a child’s increasing proficiency when expressing ideas (expressive language skills), and a child’s growing understanding of and ability to follow appropriate social and conversational rules.
