Kindergartens-I emailed your parents a spring reading package. Read the first story with a family member and answer the questions.

What will the problem be in your story?
How will it get solved?
Will the main character need others to help?
How will the character feel when the problem is solved?

Draw and write your ideas and email them once you are finished. 😊

Listen to the read aloud Duck for President by Doreen Cronin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3kQdyqOGj8

Kindergartens
The main character is the person or animal that story is about. Who was the main character in this story? What are some words you would use to describe duck? Draw a picture of duck and your favorite part in the story. Parents please help your child write one sentence describing their favorite part.  Email your work 😊

Grade Ones
The main character is the person or animal that story is about. Duck is the main character in this book. What makes Duck a good character?

We are going to start story writing. You will be writing your own story and it can be about anything. Before we write the story, we need to plan certain parts of the story. Today the focus will be planning your main character. Here are some questions you need to think about and answer:

• Is your character a person or animal?
• What makes your character special?
• What is your character’s name?
• What adventures will your character go on?
• What does your character like or dislike?

Write down the answers to these questions and any other ideas about your main character. Please draw a picture of your character and email your work when it is completed.

Kindergartens follow along with the song that reviews the sounds that letters in the alphabet make.

Grade One- Parents choose 10 words from the spelling list. Say the word and  have your child write it down. This was a short week if you need extra time to review your words, you can do the quiz over the weekend. Please email the quiz when completed.

Read on Lexia for 15 minutes.

Have a wonderful weekend! 😊

Here is the plan for today.

1. Morning yoga- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhYtcadR9nw
2. We are going to start our unit on 2d and 3d shapes. 2-dimensional shapes have 2 dimensions-length and height. These shapes are flat. Some examples of these shapes are squares, circles, triangles and rectangles. 3 dimensional shapes are not flat and have three dimensions – length, width and height. Some examples of these shapes are cubes, spheres, cylinders, pyramids and rectangular prisms.

Today we will compare two shapes circles which are 2d shapes and spheres which are 3d shapes.

A Sphere is 3-dimensional object shaped like a ball. It is not flat.

A circle is 2-dimensional is made up of a curved line and is flat.

Put your hands together like you have a circle pancake in between. Then hold your hands up to your mouth to blow air into the circle and curl your fingers as you blow… forming a sphere with your hands. The flat circle has become a solid sphere like a balloon.
Another way to see the difference between the two shapes is do a clap test

1. On a piece of paper, draw and cut out a circle.
2. Now go look for sphere shape at home.
3. Hold the circle in your hands and try to clap. Can you still clap?
4. Now hold the sphere and try to clap. Were you able to clap with the sphere in your hand?
5. Why were you able to clap with the circle and not the sphere?

Now go on a shape hunt at home! Look for circles and spheres. Draw what you find on a piece of paper and label the circles and spheres. Email me your work 😊

3. Login onto your Lexia account and read for 15 minute
4. Grade Ones pick from one of the following ways to review your spelling words
   – Rainbow write your words
   – Play tic tac toe using your spelling words
   – Create a double set of spelling word cards and play a game of memory by
   spreading out the cards face down and then taking turns flipping
   two cards at a time to find a pair!
   – Type out your spelling words

Kindergartens

– Writing: make a list of five words you find in a book or newspaper write the
words in your best printing.

5.  Create a handprint art piece with your family. 😊 Email me your art work.
