I hope you all had a fun weekend!! Here are some ideas for Week 4 of Home Learning. Please contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns at colleen.kane@nbed.nb.ca.

Speaking and Listening

Choose from the following activities (or continue listening and talking about a story):

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.

Listen to a story on www.storylineonline.net. Tell someone about the setting.

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.

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.

Writing ideas

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

Create a kind poster and put it your window for your neighbors to see.

How many small words can you make out of the word “Spring Flowers” List them.

Treasure Hunt: Hide or find a treasure or secret sport 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
