Home Learning April 20-24
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Here are some ideas for Week 3 of Home Learning. Please contact me at any time if you have any questions or concerns at melanie.lamkey@nbed.nb.ca
Speaking and Listening
Choose from the following activities (or continue listening and talking about a story):
Hide a mystery object in a box or bag. Give clues to a family member about what is inside the box. See if they can guess what the object is and then, switch roles.
Call a friend and ask them 3 questions about what they have been doing. Have them ask you 3 questions as well.
Take a walk around your yard/neighborhood. Record or tell someone the things you hear, see, smell, and touch.
===============================================================================
Alphabet
Find objects in your house that begin with the letters b,c,d and f. 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 knows the A-C sight words here are the D-F sight words day, down, into, looking, she, they, went, where, will, your, all, away, back, big, her, over, this, want, who, with, came, have, help, next, now, one, some, then, was, what.
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
Read your favourite book in the dark with a flashlight.
Build a reading fort. Bring your favourite books inside to read them.
Continue using Raz-Kids. I assigned each student two new books for the week but feel free to let your child choose their own book around the same level.

===============================================================================
Writing
Make a card for someone special and give it to them.
or
Watch an episode of your favorite tv show. Draw/write about your favorite part or your favorite actor/actress in the show.
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:
Practice writing your phone number and your address.
Find 3 things in your house that are taller than you. Find 3 things that are shorter than you. https://ca.ixl.com/math/kindergarten/tall-and-short
Find 3 things in your house that are heavier than you. Find 3 things that are lighter than you. https://ca.ixl.com/math/kindergarten/light-and-heavy
If you have a deck of cards at your house there are fun games you can play (7-up, crazy eights..). If you do not know how to play you can search the instructions online.
