The weather is getting nicer, and I hope it is helping to keep everyone’s spirits up. Hopefully, you can spend some more time outside enjoying the fresh air!

Here are some ideas for Week 4 of Home Learning. Please contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns at sherrie.bell@nbed.nb.ca.

Speaking and Listening

Listen to a story on https://www.storylineonline.netOR have an adult read a book to you OR choose from the following activities:

*Line up 5 of your favorite teddy bears/toys. Describe one of them using descriptive words and see if the other person can find the one you described. Do again and switch roles.

*Listen to a story and tell a family member who the characters in the story were.

Then you can do your calendar on www.starfall.com

===================================================================

Alphabet

Find objects in your house that begin with the letters r,s,t and m.  Write or draw a picture of some things you find.

Review your letters and sounds by playing these songs:

Sight Words

Review your A - C Level sight words

I, a, am, at, can, go, is, like, me, see, the,

to, dad, he, in, it, look, mom, my, on, up, we,

and, are, come, for, got, here, not, play, said, you.

Review these sight words with these videos

If your child is having trouble with any of the sight words they can build the word with playdoh, rainbow write it (print the word tracing it in many different colored crayons), print them in the driveway with chalk or cut the letters out and practice building the word and mess it up and build it again. 

===============================================================================

Reading

*Gather up your favorite teddy bears and read them a story.

*Continue using Raz-Kids. Be sure to “read” the books, and not just “listen” to the books.  You will gain points when you “read” the books.

Writing ideas

*Write a story to your family about what you like about Spring?

*Treasure Hunt: Hide or find a treasure or secret spot outside.  Make a detailed map that will guide someone to it.

Remember to sound out the words you do not know and put your spaces between the words and use your sight words to help!

Math

Choose from some of the following suggestions:

*Go on a shape hunt in your house? Is it a 2D shape or a 3D shape? Can you find all the shapes?

Here are a few songs to review shapes before you get started on your hunt:
