Activities
April 27 - May 1 - Week 4
Parents, feel free to take pictures of your child doing the activities or their completed work and email to their teacher!
Remember: Please do what you can, but be flexible if it doesn't work. If you notice that your child is struggling, try together, don't get frustrated and end with a smile.
Please continue to LOGIN and READ at least 10 minutes daily on Raz-Kids.
Try to record one book in Raz-Kids - it will send directly to your teacher
Monday
Write in your journal. Did you do anything over the weekend? If your child is having trouble they could write about their favorite game to play - inside or outside.
Try to write 2-3 sentences
Make sure it is EASY TO READ (finger spaces, neat printing) and has INTERESTING details.
Parents, our students are used to writing independently, please give them some time to try to spell what they can and do their own work - the way they would in the classroom
This week we are going to learn a poem. Click to see Mrs. V sing/read you the poem "Earth Day". Listen first, repeat after Mrs. V and then try to do it with her.
Tuesday
Practice our poem "Earth Day" again. Follow along with Mrs. V if you need to. Do you remember it by yourself?
We need to get the poem on a piece of paper today.
You can print out the poem, have an adult print it, share printing with an adult (turn taking) or write it out all by yourself. Click on the button for the poem.
**If you notice frustration, please help your child. You can write with a light coloured marker or highlighter and they can trace also.
Wednesday
Click on "Earth Poem" to get a printable copy of the poem
Read/sing poem aloud. Can you find the rhymes in each poem. Colour or put a box/bubble around the rhyming words. Can you think of any other words that rhyme with the ones in the poem?
Example: one, sun, fun, done, bun etc.
Listen to Mrs. Dewarle read the story "Freight Train" by PD Eastman. This is a poetry book for poetry month. Listen and enjoy!
Thursday
Read/Sing the Poem.
Cut up the poem by it's sentences. Can you put it back together?
Need a challenge? Cut it up in groups of 2-3 words or even each word!
Be Careful! Don't lose any - you need them tomorrow!
Listen to Mrs. Dewarle as she talks about making your very own poem like "Freight Train". Can you make your own just like her?
**Parents, this is a tricky little activity - maybe you can just brainstorm things that move along - bikes, boats, trains, cars, skateboard and think about where you go when you are doing that activity.
Friday
Can you put your poem back together?
Glue or tape your poem back together and decorate it with pictures that match the poem.
Read the poem to someone!
Create a Poems folder to keep your poem in or find a place on the wall to display your work!
