Home Learning April 6th
Dear Parents,
Take a deep breath and remind yourself you are doing your best throughout these unprecedented times. Please do not stress about completing everything. These ideas are here to guide and offer you support. I will be contacting you very soon, to say hello, and to see how everyone is doing.
Reading :
- Each night this week, please read a book you packed and brought home with you.
- If you and a parent have time, please check out ‘Razkids ‘ website.
For this week, please just try to log in to Razkids :
-class password: KaraWilson2020
-select your name and choose the rabbit symbol.
(I have copied the link in the ‘web link’ tab of my teacher page for you to access. I have also included instructions for username and password to access).
Read Aloud:
- Each day this week, choose a book from ‘storyline online’ website: : https://www.storylineonline.net/ to listen to a read aloud. (I have copied the link in the ‘web link’ of my teacher page for you to access).
Or
- Ask an adult in your house to read a storybook to you:) Don’t be afraid to start a chapter book. The boys and girls have become great listeners!
Spelling Words:
- Spelling List- print out your list and practice these words nightly :
sort, fort, sport, torn corn, born, horn, cork, pork, fork
(discuss pattern you see in words and talk about blends/sounds you hear at the beginning and end of words)
- Choose 5 words and write sentences with them . Circle the capital letters at the beginning of your sentence and put a box around the punctuation (.!? ), at the end of your sentence .
- Spelling Test- Have an adult call out your word list on Friday
Writing
- Quick-write Activity:
Put on your favourite song , play it twice and do a ‘Quick-write’ (5-10 mins). Children are familiar with this activity and they know the only rule is, they have to write the whole time about a topic of their choice . You can do this a couple of times this week .
- Brainstorm :
It may be a good idea to brainstorm topics first ( ideas in case your stuck: 1. my favourite animal is, these are the reasons why , 2. describe your best friend, how are you the same/ different. 3. If I could have any superpower it would be , how would you use it).
Math
- Card Games:
Please see ‘documents’ tab for some simple card game ideas to play throughout the week . All you need is a deck of cards !
Wellness/ You and your world
- Talk to your parents about our class discussions surrounding healthy lifestyles. What are some of the things we can do to keep our minds and bodies healthy .
- If possible , take daily walks together in your neighborhood. What did you see, hear, touch, smell on your walk .
Dear Boys and Girls,
I miss your sweet smiles so much ! I have your phone numbers and I’m going to try to get in touch with your families this week , to see how you are doing.
Big Hugs,
Mrs. Wilson
