Key Concepts

The importance of regular exercise, the dramatic play area will become the fitness center.

• Two repetitive stories Jumping, Jumping Fun and  Karate Kid. The children will be introduced to the letter Jj and Kk within the context of the stories.

• The story Jumping, Jumping Fun is about a boy and girl having fun jumping.

• The story, Karate Kid  is about a young boy and girl who tell about what they learn in karate (focus, balance and so on). The basic concept is the character virtue of self-control.

• Bonus Story, Exercising in All Kinds of Weather, introduces the idea that exercise should not be limited by weather conditions.

• Reading - The stories are repetitive enough to allow kindergarten and preschool children to read them on their own after they have been introduced as a shared reading experience. This serves as a powerful method for young children to not only gain a better understanding of the reading process but also gaining a positive attitude towards it by having them experience reading the story on their own (pretend reading) and the pride of completing the book (interactive component). 

• Exercise pictures - you will find both color, black and white pictures of children exercising.  These are great to use in the fitness center or in the gymnasium for station exercise activities.

• Math - suggestions and follow-up activities in introducing shapes.

• Alphabet and Printing  -  follow-up suggestions and activities to further develop the sounds made by the letter Jj and Kk and also recognition of these letters.

• The unit gives suggestions for group time, dramatic play area, math center, craft ideas, printing center, reading center and more!

• The children will be introduced to shapes and required to make shape patterns.

• Blending sounds together to make words continues to be explored.
