Mrs. K's "Cozy Little Cabin" Class 3, "Q"

The letter “Q” tactfully introduces “QUARANTINE” in the context of quiet comforting “q” words, songs, and scripture. Classes 1 and 2 were about the letter “P”, and considered it providential to touch on this subject.

Parents may choose to discuss this topic further in the context of your home "where quiet questions are allowed and praise of answers is aloud."*

This class introduces the letter "Q" and includes activites like: the "7 Days Are In A Week" song, a strategic discussion of five words that start with "Q." The first four words were designed specifically to set a stage for a parental discussion of our current national challenge with Covid-19: Questions, Quiet, Quilt, and Quarantine. The last word, "Quack" is intended to shift from a "serious" tone back to the preferred tone of a preschool class. Pattern: Q-U are best friends, Song: "Six Little Ducks." The story is "Dilly Duckling," by Claire Freedman (illustrated by Jane Chapman) about a little duck who overcomes anxiety.

* The line:  "...where quiet questions are allowed and praise of answers is aloud." comes from a poem of mine called "Wonder Is."
