Attached you will find some extras. These are just some things I pulled together, similar to some activities we would be doing in the classroom. They include different ways to practice sight words, short vowel work, word families, and color words. I put a bunch of different things together in each document. I will try to post these extras weekly. Let me know if it would be easier for you to have these in PDF form. ETA: One of the documents was not posting correctly in Scribd, but it did work to post as a file. All of these are also posted in my Google Classroom.
Hi All, Here are the activities for the week of April 27. By Friday, post a picture/video of ONE activity from each subject (literacy, math, theme, writing) that your child is most proud of For literacy, evidence can include: a book read (Epic! included), sight word work, letter/sound practice
Here are all our sight words so far.
Hi All, My family was watching the CNN and Sesame Street Covid-19 special this weekend. It was suggested that children and/or families keep a Gratitude Journal during this time. From communicating with families last week through email and phone conversations, many people brought up being thankful for the extra family time we are getting, for example. I have attached some covers to journals and a blank journal page, if this is something you think you would like your child to do. The different journal covers are: My Feelings Journal, My Gratitude Journal, and My Thankful Journal. Our kindergarten students will be hearing and learning about this time for the rest of their lives, but will have a fuzzy memory of it at best. A journal could be something for them to look back on. They also suggested a Glitter Jar as a way to practice mindfulness. They said to fill an empty jar with water and glitter, shake it up then focus on the glitter settling.
I'm excited for us to have our first live Google Meets on Thursday at 9:30 am. To join, all you need to do in go into my Google Classroom and click on the Meets link in the green box at the top. It will not work until I am in the Meets.
We will use this time for each student to share one thing they have made while we have been out of school. I am looking forward to seeing everyone. Take a look at this link as it may answer some questions you may have.

I'm posting the April Writing Journal Plants in two formats this week. One wasn't showing up in Scribd in the preferred format. Hopefully one of these will work well for you.
I realize you may not have all the materials at home, but this fun Science at Home activity from the Museum of Science and Industry came to my email and I thought I would pass it along in case you had any time.

Our lessons this coming week are about plants, so that is another option. |
