Tuesday, April 28 Lessons and Activities

Writing: 

This week we are continuing our Narratives/Small Moment Unit!  Remember talking about watermelon and seed stories at the beginning of the year?  We are circling back around to continue to grow as strong writers!  

Head to Seesaw and watch the 4/28 writing mini-lesson.  After watching the mini-lesson, respond with the 'Ouch Story' writing on Seesaw or emailed pdf.  Remember to include Seed Story details and sequencing words!

Reading:

We are finishing our Characters Reading Unit together!  Head to the Seesaw 4/28 mini-lesson and respond with a video of you reading a part from the Mud! Mud! Mud! play.  This can be found on Seesaw or emailed pdfs.  Once you're done, be sure to read for 15 minutes independently and try for 10 minutes with a partner!

*Check out some fun options on the emailed Reading Mat pdf!

Phonics:

Starting this week, Kindergarten teachers are adding back a bit of Phonics practice.  Since Phonics and Phonemic Awareness are foundational reading skills, we wanted to build in a quick activity each week.  Please head to Seesaw for today’s activity! (Pdf also emailed.) 

*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 

*Ask your mom or dad if there is an outside project you can help with...maybe picking up sticks, gathering some brush or leaves, or raking the yard?
