Hello Parents and Students,

This week we are starting a new unit.  The new unit is on BUGS.

I will be going over bug vocabulary, I will read the book Twig by Aura Parker and I will assign an activity.

This week’s assignment:  Make your own Heidi from the book Twig using a twig you find in your yard or in the park.  You don’t have to cut it off a tree.  Often there will be twigs lying on the ground.

Here is Mrs. Favaro’s example:

Hi everyone!

I hope you were able to see my video with the book and the flashcards last week.

This week we’re going to keep learning about the human body.  Here below, is a link to a YouTube video of a funny book, called Parts by Tedd Arnold.

After you watch the video, you are going to make a new Mini Dictionary.  We have done these Mini Dictionaries before; copy the words underneath with your best printing (make sure you are using proper letter formation!) and color the pictures.

Click below for the mini dictionary:

Body Mini Dictionary

Parents, please print the above PDF file for your child to work on.  The printing and colouring will take time.  There is no rush.  Your child can work on it for a few minutes each day.  (To make the pages into a mini book, cut on the solid line, fold on the dotted line and staple.)  After your child has finished the dictionary, please feel free to email me pictures of it (e13038@burnabyschools.ca).

Alternate Activity if you don’t have access to a printer:

Create a monster with three eyes, two noses, one mouth and at least 6 arms and/or legs.  Label the body parts.  Colour it.  Email me a picture of it.  Here is Mrs. Favaro’s example:

Stay healthy everyone!
