Home Learning April 27-May 1st
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:

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.

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.
