April at Home

Please excuse the lack of formatting,  blogging on my phone from home has been a learning activity for me.

This month the whole world is staying home as much as possible. COVID-19 is shared easily and by staying home we can help stop the spread. I miss teaching you at school so much but we can keep learning together, it's just different now.
Last week I shared the story, When will it be Spring?, asked you to do a activity and share it with me. It was so much fun seeing you, your pictures and videos and reading what your parents wrote. I especially liked talking to you by video. It made me feel like we are still a class.
Texting works great to share but one student  used WhatsApp and that was great too. I could even facetime on WhatsApp or on Facebook  if it works for you.

Here are a few art ideas for you but you can do also do your own. Be sure your creations with me. I love to see you work!

Shadow drawing might be a great way document some Non-Fiction research.

These 2 sheets are in the MATH duotang. The activities given with them will reinforce the concepts we have covered. Using math vocabulary like greater than/less than/the same as and add this many more, now how many are there altogether, are very important skills for next year.

This is just a prompt I would use to help them sort books as FICTION or NON-FICTION, a worksheet is in their duotang.

MEMORY - You can play this with a reduced deck Ace -5 and then build as they increase number knowledge and concentration skills or make letter cards to play with..

Playing card games are great fun and develop many skills.

Taking turns

The pattern of dealing or laying out cards

Winning and loosing graciously

Following instructions and rules

Recognition of numbers at a glance

Understand the value of numbers 1-10 or even 11, 12 and 13

Note - Try give the value of one to the Ace and you can start with a reduced deck. Like Ace - 5's
