Bible:
Let’s get our hearts ready for our Bible story. We want our hands to be still and our hearts and minds to be focused on our God. We always start with singing the ‘Be Still and Know’ song. Go to Seesaw for the recording. After singing along with ‘Be Still’ and Know,’ please listen to Jesus Before Pilate and The Crucifixion. (Feel free to spread these stories out over two days if that works best for your family. I want to complete the remainder of the Easter stories this week.)Continue to practice Matthew 28: 5-6 at home.
Writing:
This week we are continuing our Opinion Writing Unit. Remember what we’ve learned about facts vs opinions? We’ve spent time writing facts (things we can prove and are the same for everyone,) now we are going to spend time writing about opinions.
Head to Seesaw and watch the 4/1 writing mini-lesson. You’ll create an opinion response on either Dog or Cat or Hot Air Balloon or Helicopter. (Download PDF from email or there is a separate writing paper handout in Seesaw. Or, create your own writing paper to match!) Then, send your writing back to me via Seesaw! *If you want to do both pages, feel free!!
Math:
Please head back to Seesaw and find our 4/1 math lesson for today! We are going to talk about number groups and practice addition equations with answers up to 10. After watching the mini-lesson you will complete pages 197 and 198 from your folder. When you’re done, send me a picture!
Reading:
Start with Phonemic Awareness practice! This should take about 10 minutes. (Parents our curriculum provider, Heggerty, has graciously offered three weeks of free lessons during our time away from the classroom. Please check out the training video and resources. Parents-please know that teachers spent an afternoon receiving training in this curriculum. There are several motions for each section of the daily lesson. No need to master these motions—try your best, but your child will be a great leader for this!
**Phonemic Awareness lessons are attached to the email. Work on ‘Wednesday/Thursday’ of week 20.
Kindergartners, be sure to show your family members how we use these motions during our learning! You can be a great teacher!
Following the Heggerty lesson…..We are continuing our Characters Reading Unit together! Before our mini-lesson, listen to my Owen read aloud again on Seesaw. Then, head to the Seesaw 4/1 mini-lesson and respond with a video or picture detailing a time when you and a character demonstrated the same action. (Both going to the store, eating breakfast, playing outside etc.)
*Optional* Extras/Additional opportunities:
*Write a letter or card to mail to a friend, family member, or Mrs. Becksfort
*Research something new – this is a great time to learn all about a new topic you've been curious about. Outer space? The Grand Canyon? A famous American? The possibilities are endless!
*Learn to cook or bake something – there is quite a bit of math involved in cooking and baking! Read the recipe, find the ingredients, set the oven, measure the ingredients, assemble the dish, and of course try it when it's done. It's also a great time to help with meals at home -assist in making them, setting the table, and washing the dishes afterwards!
*Do some Fitness- search YouTube for ‘Cosmic Kids Yoga,’ ‘Zumba for Kids,’ or ‘goNoodle.’
*Practice a sport or play a game outside
*Play with some playdoh or magnets
*Take a virtual fieldtrip
