Hi Families!<\/p>\n

Here is the weekly learning plan for this week, as well as some optional extensions for those who are interested. We are focusing on some fundamental letter and literacy skills this week. Many of these activities can be practiced frequently to help continue some of our classroom routines at home and build important foundational knowledge.<\/p>\n

Class Meetings this week: Monday at 11:00am and Friday at 2:00pm.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you, and I can’t wait to see all the fun stuff your children create!<\/p>\n

Week of Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 8, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Theme:<\/strong> Letter Party Time!<\/p>\n

If you see *** before an activity, that means that I would like you to share a picture or video on Fresh Grade! (you are always welcome to share more)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Letter Week!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week we are focusing on reviewing what we know about letters in fun ways! You can do bits and pieces throughout the week at the pace that is best for your family.<\/p>\n

Watch!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Checkout the Alphabet Jive video that I made and posted on Fresh Grade! Practice every day this week.<\/p>\n

***Build!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Build some letters with items from around your home (ex: Lego, playdough, blocks). See if you can build something that starts with the same letter (ex: make a Q with playdough, then build a question mark). See how many letters you can make!<\/p>\n

Explore!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Watch The Long and Short Vowels Song<\/em> on Epic! or here https:\/\/youtu.be\/4TjcT7Gto3U<\/a><\/p>\n

Short<\/strong> vowels are the ones we learn in our Alphabet Jive (like a is for alligator)<\/p>\n

Long<\/strong> vowels are when a vowel says its own name (like a is for acorn)<\/p>\n

The vowels are a, e, i, o, u.<\/p>\n

Go on a scavenger hunt, in your home or around your neighbourhood. Can you find items that start with all the vowels, both the long and short sounds?<\/p>\n

***Watch and Create!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go onto Epic! and explore some of the Alphabet Stories<\/em> videos. Can you make your own alphabet story? Take your time and work on this over a few days. Don\u2019t rush your story!<\/p>\n
