5 Minute Mojo
In this lesson, your child will meet the Vulture and her Secret Letter “V.” Vulture is the Recycler of the Pride and teaches children how to reuse their natural resources, just like she does for the Sunmoona Pride. Your child will continue to learn about the other animals in the Pride and will engage with letters new and old in the African habitat. English language development continues through phonemic awareness in the aural activities, “The Secret Letter V” video, and narrated Africa book.
Teaching Tip:
Comprehension is one of the goals in teaching literacy. It takes a while to develop, but you can aid your child by helping them along. Using multiple strategies to teach letters and reading is one of the ways to improve comprehension. Playing a letter matching game with our print-out flashcards is a way to bring a new learning strategy to your child’s development.

Activities
Go Green! – Bring sustainability home with your child and teach your child that recycling is a responsibility for everyone. Take whatever containers you have on hand (even old shoe boxes), and help your child to label them with the words “Plastic,” “Paper,” “Glass,” and so on, depending on what materials are recycled in your hometown. Put the boxes in a low, accessible place so that your child feels ready to engage. Tell your child that separating these materials means that they will be reused to make new things. Encourage your child to help you recycle at home, when you finish a yogurt container, need to throw away a newspaper, and so on. Let them take the responsibility of sorting your recycling!

Healthy Snack
Compost Cookies– Cookies are always a treat, but you can make them healthier by including “reused” ingredients. Start with a basic oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. Ask your kids to look around the house and find some things that would go well in the cookies. Dried fruit, peanuts, chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, and even pretzels make good fillings. Cut down on fats by using applesauce, yogurt, and neutral oils in place of butter. Cut down on the sugar called for in the recipe as well (it’s usually more than enough).
