Math;  Draw 4 ovals. Color them light blue. With adult supervision, cut them out. Draw 6 rectangles. Color them brown, and cut them out. Use these shapes to make some math problems. For example, 2 ovals + 3 rectangles = 5 shapes. How many math sentences can you make? When you are done, make a nest with the rectangles. Glue the oval eggs in your nest.

Literacy/Language:  Make-It, Break-It. Recognize letter sounds. Rhyming. Vocabulary: crown, breast, beak, tail feathers, egg tooth.

Social Studies:  Scholastic: My BIG World with Clifford. A Teeny Tiny Nest. (Issue March 2020)  Science Focus: egg animals, life cycle. Gross Motor Skills: movement. Math: counting. 

Science:  Eggs to Chick. Go outside (with adult supervision) and sit quietly for 10 minutes. How many birds do you see? Do you know what kind of birds are in your backyard? Robin? Sparrow? Cardinal? Do you see any bird nests in the trees?

                       Remote Learning:  Friday, May 1, 2020

Remote Learning Grid: Choose 1-2 activites on your Grid! Color each square when complete.

Religion: We show our love for God by helping others. Help a family member do a chore (set the table, fold laundry, make your bed, sweep the sidewalk).

Math:  Kitchen Shape Hunt. How many circles can you find in your kitchen? How many squares? Can you find any triangles in your kitchen??

Language/Literacy:  Literacy includes the development of fine motor skills so they can be strengthened to be able to hold a pencil that will eventually produce written words.  

Play-do Name: Use Play-do (or make your own!) to roll out snakes. Form the snakes into letters in your name!

My favorite Play-Do Recipe: 

In a large pot (I use a dutch oven), combine following over low heat::

  1 cup of water

  1 tablespoon vegetable oil

   Several drops of food coloring

In separate bowl, combine dry ingredients: 

  1 cup of flour (I have used gluten-free options with success)

  ½ cup salt

  1 tablespoon cream of tartar

Slowly add the dry ingredients to liquid. Combine well. Continue stirring until forms ball. Knead. Add flour is mixture is too sticky. Store in airtight container.

Religion:  Kindness Challenge. How can we walk in the footsteps of Jesus? Help clean up our planet Earth, as well as our home. 

Math:  Cut out 5 squares and 5 circles. How many shapes do you have all together? Math problems;  2 squares + 2 circles = ?

3 squares + 1 circle = ?    3 squares + 4 circles = ?

Can you think of any other math sentences?

Literacy/Language:  Superhero Day. “Superhero” is a compound word. Make it, Break It with compound words. Rhymes to build oral language, alliteration, and rhythm.  Superhero Syllable Clap. Matching letter to beginning sounds.

Social Studies:  “Who is your favorite Superhero?” Draw a picture of him/her.

Science:  Earth Day. Get a piece of paper towel. Draw a large circle using a black marker on the towel. Using blue and green markers, color the circle. Cut out your circle. Spray or sprinkle with water (so the colors blend). Let dry. When your planet Earth has dried, glue on a piece of paper. With a grown-ups help, write “I love the Earth”.
