Good morning! What a yucky day today!  Stay warm and dry and cozy today.  I hope everyone is able to find all the links that I am posting.  Take a look through some of the extra resources and see if there is anything you would like to do.  Each day I post a new chapter from the Magic Tree House books. It has it’s own page for the chapters.  Today I started book 7.  The children always loved hearing a chapter at the end of the day.

  • P, V, W, Y, X
  • Fold paper into 4 squares and draw 4 things that begin with t, like turtle.

Monday April 20

Good morning!  What a weekend we had!  I loved all the sunshine even though it was a bit cold.  I have friends in Cape Breton that had a huge snow storm, so that is something to be thankful for!

Here is my video for today:

  1. Fundations: Practice printing the 5 letters, print the words that I say. More words to tap and write:Zip, wet, web, wig, yes
  2. Listen to the story: No More Noisy Nights  Parents when listening to this book make Predictions: The story is repetitive, so it lends itself very well for students to make predictions as well as choral read the repetitive words, “Then he relaxed in his favorite chair. At nine o’clock, Jackson climbed into bed.” Stop the story after this part to ask students to predict what will happen next.  Also talk about what went wrong? How was the problem fixed? 
  3. Math: Draw a picture of a flower garden.  Make a pattern with your flowers.  What kind of pattern did you make?  Was it an AB (two color/type pattern) or something different?
  4. Art: Make some puffy paint and paint a picture with it
  5. Recipe: Puffy Paint
  6. songs: Duck Song and Herman the Worm
  7. Video: Stella and Sam Night Fairies

Enjoy!

Feedback

Hey Parents!

We have finished two weeks of online learning! Craziness!! Who ever thought this might happen?!?  Anyone we are rolling with it.  If you have any feedback that you’d like to share about how it’s going, I’d love to hear from you.  Just send along an email and I will get back to you ASAP.

Thanks!

Have a good weekend!

Good morning everyone!

I love all this sunshine we are getting!  Although the snow yesterday was a bit much!  I just put up a little bit of stuff today and thought if you would like more work you could go back and do some activities from earlier in the week or last week that you didn’t do but wanted to try.  Please remember that you are only required to do 30 minutes of work each day with your kindergartener. But once again, do what you feel is appropriate for your house with all that you are trying to balance at this point.  Some days I’m sure you can accomplish more and some days less, it will all equal out in the end!

Also there is a great site that has learning games for math called Splash learn. It’s free to sign up if you want an account: splash learn

Here is my here video for today:

  1. Fundations: Print the 5 letters that we reviewed today.
  2. Listen to the Story: Twice Mice Twice Mice
  3. Write: Who would you invite for dinner? Why would you invite that person?
  4. Math: Sum Turnover Sum Turnover
  5. Take a walk!
  6. Build with Lego!
  7. Have a fun weekend!
