Writing: Today we are going to do some opinion writing.  Opinion writing is writing about how you feel about something and giving reasons or supporting details why. Follow the example below but use your own ideas. Kindergarten you can give one reason, but you are more than welcome to do the three. Grade 1s please give your opinion, reason 1,2,3, and then restate your opinion. You are going to tell me your favourite flavour of ice cream.

 

What is your favourite flavour of ice cream?

 

Opinion: I think __________________________ ice cream is the very best.

Reason #1: It is____________________________________

___________________________________________________

Reason #2: I like it because_________________________

____________________________________________________

Reason #3: I think it is_____________________________

___________________________________________________

Restate your opinion: The very best ice cream is_____

____________________________________________________

 

Reading: Parents please read the following poem to your child. As they are listening have them draw what they are visualizing in their brain as they listen to the poem. Visualizing refers to our ability to create pictures in our heads based on text we read or words we hear. It is one of the many skills that makes reading comprehension possible.  After they have drawn their picture have them listen to the poem again. Grade 1s could also try reading the poem after listening to it twice.

 

 

Math: Let’s review patterns. Watch this clip to remind you how to make a pattern: The Patterns Practice Song On the next page you need to make an AB pattern (e.g. red, blue, red, blue) AAB (red, red, blue, red, red, blue) ABB (e.g. red, blue, blue, red, blue, blue) and ABC (red, blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow). For a challenge see if you can make your own different patterns once you are done the sheet. Can you make an ABCD pattern?

 

 

Special Activity

Do you know what a double scoop of ice cream is? How many scoops is a double? Have you ever had a double scoop of ice cream before? Do you know what a triple scoop of ice cream is? How many scoops is a triple?

Here is a silly song about a double scoop that you can dance to:  Koo Koo Kanga Roo

Morning Message: Good morning everybody. Exercise and make a pattern: Pump Up the Pattern Can you make a pattern with your body? Teach the pattern to someone in your house (e.g. clap, clap, stomp, or jump, snap, jump, snap). Repeat the pattern. Can you guess the pattern?

 

Literacy

Writing: If you got an ice cream but your friend didn’t would you share it with them? Why or why not? Before you listen to the story “Should I Share My Ice Cream?” think about if you would share or not. You need to give 1 reason why or why not (kindergarten) and 2 reasons why or why not (grade 1). You can just write on a plain piece of paper or in one of your books from school. After you have done your writing listen to the story. What do you think Gerald will do? Should I Share My Ice Cream?

 

 

I ___________________________________ share my ice cream because__________

__________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________________.

That is why I _____________________________________ share my ice cream.

 

Reading: Kindergarten your words this week all have the digraph “th”. Remember t-h th, th, th t-h th, th, th, this is a thumb and that is a thistle.

Thursday, June 18th 2020

Morning Message: Good morning boys and girls. Today is Thursday June 17th 2020. What is ice cream’s favourite day of the week? Sundae? What is your favourite day of the week? Do you know how many days are in a week?

There is a Zoom Music Class with Mr. Smith at 1:00pm – 1:30pm. 

 

Literacy

Writing: Watch this little clip about making a sundae. What are they using? Ice Cream LEGO Sundae Pretend you are teaching someone how to make an ice cream sundae. What do they need to do first, next, then, last? Write out your instructions below. Don’t forget to add a picture to each section. Kindergarten your sheet is first and grade 1s your sheet is second. Hopefully this doesn’t make you too hungry!

Reading: Choose one or two books to listen to or to read. Grade 1s I want you to read the books to someone and kindergartens you can have an adult read to you or try reading it by yourself. You can choose a book from your house to read/listen to or from Raz Kids (grade 1).

Math: Kindergarten: Can you match the right ice cream scoop sum to the right addition question on the cone? Parents if you don’t want to print out you could just write out some of the addition question for students to answer. Grade 1s can you finish the graph and answer all the question on the ice cream problem sheet. You will need to use addition and subtraction.

 

Special Activity

For those that are feeling brave and have all the necessary materials try making an ice cream cone with puffy paint. Cut out a triangle for the cone from construction paper and glue to a background. Mix up 2 batches of shaving cream puffy paint by mixing equal parts shaving cream and white glue. You can leave the paint white or dye it with of few drops of colour. Paint one or two scoops and add in real sprinkles while the paint is still wet. Add a cherry on top if you’d like. If you don’t have the materials needed you could try making a cone out of paper and then using a balloon or ball as the ice cream scoop. What games can you play with it? Pass the ice cream scoop, an ice cream relay? Teach the game to your family.

 

Father’s Day Project: Paint a Rock. “My Daddy Rocks…”

S’mores: Make smores. Take two graham crackers. Melt marshmallow and chocolate in a double boiler, low heat in a pot.  Put the marshmallow in between two graham crackers. Then the final step is dip it in to melted chocolate.  Let it cool or eat it while it is warm. ENJOY.. Make a tag. I love you s’more much!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday June 19th 2020

 

Morning Message: Good morning everybody. Today is Friday June 19th 2020. Can you guess my letter? I am a vowel, I am the fifth letter in the alphabet, and I am between the letters Dd and Ff. What letter am I? (Ee) Can you make a letter riddle for me?

 

Literacy

Writing: Have you ever heard of a tongue twister? Here are a few examples: “She sells seashells by the seashore” and “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” Try saying these nice and slow first and then try it fast. Were you able to do it? Do you notice anything about these tongue twisters? Look at the first letter of each word. These are examples of alliteration. Wow that’s a big word! Alliteration happens when words that start with the same sound (not just the same letter) are used repeatedly in a phrase or sentence. Here is another example “Paula planted the pretty pink poppies in the pot.” Can you find any other tongue twisters to practice? Have a listen to this song about alliteration: Alliteration Song Your job is to come up with a new ice cream flavour using your name, a describing word, and then a food that all start with the first letter in your name. So for example: My favourtie ice cream is green tea.  Mr. Chin’s favourite ice cream is Boba Bar; Brown Sugar ice cream bar and Adrian loves it too.  Avery loves strawberry and vanilla. You can even make ice cream flavours using your family member’s names too. Ms. Yu’s favourite ice cream is banana cream pie.  Mrs. Shaennen’s favourite ice cream is chocolate.  Here is a silly poem about some interesting ice cream flavours. Maybe it will give you an idea. Watch for some alliteration too! Bleezer’s Ice Cream (sheet is on the next page)

 

My new ice cream flavour is_________________________________________

 

_____________________________________________________________.

 

This is an alliteration as you can see all my words start with the letter__________.

 

 

Reading: “How to make ice cream.” Grade 1s please read this section under Special Activity to an adult and kindergartens please ask an adult to read it to you.

Raz Kids – Have you read today? Have you done a recording?

 

Math: You are going to practice reading graphs. Kindergarten students your graph to work with is the first one and grade 1s yours is the second one. When you are done there is an empty graph for you to ask people in your house their favourite way to eat ice cream. Can you fill it out with the information you get? Remember we always start at the bottom when we fill out a graph.

 

 

 

Your friends have all voted on what their favourite way to eat their ice cream.  Can you fill out the graph below with what your friends have voted.  Which one has the most? Which one has the least? Can you do a tally? Can you write some sentences from looking at the graph?
