Home Learning April 27-May 1^st

I hope you all had an amazing weekend! The weather was beautiful. I hope you spent lots of time 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 melanie.lamkey@nbed.nb.ca. I always love hearing from you and your families.

Speaking and Listening

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 it again and switch roles.

Or continue listening to a family member reading a story or on www.storylineonline.net and talking about the story, who the characters are, and the setting of the story.

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

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 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.

Level F song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUhczekj93Y

If your child is having trouble with any of the sight words they can build the word with playdoh, rainbow write it, 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. 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. If you feel the books are too easy at the level I assigned, please send me an email and I can move next week’s up a level.

Step 1: Go to www.kidsa-z.com (there is also an app available)

Step 2: Enter or choose the teacher's username, melanielamkey2021

Step 3: Your child finds his or her username on the class chart.

Step 4: Your child enters his or her password. Our class has the password book

Writing ideas

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

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

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