Hello! I am missing my fabulous first graders today! I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break. The first grade team and I are putting together some resources that I will be sending out via skyward and also posting on here for at home learning while school is not in session. These activities are optional. Reading-- Read! Read to your child and have them read to you. Talk about what you read. The aim is for 20 minutes of reading. Practice sight words-- Review 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarter sight words. Practice the following sight words for 4th quarter : an, by, funny, has, just, book, any, give, going, said, let, know Online Resources: Teach your monster to read https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/u/3634938 TumbleBookshttps://www.tumblebooklibrary.com/ Username: Tonganoxie Password: Books Talk about calendar: Review the days of the week and months of the year. What day is it? What will tomorrow be? What was yesterday? How many days are in a week? How many months are in a year? What year is it? https://www.abcya.com/games/days_of_the_week https://www.abcya.com/games/months_of_the_year Writing -- The kids write daily in their journal at school. We do a lot of free writing and they love to write letters to their family and peers. Please encourage them write to whoever they want or write and illustrate their own story. At the bottom of this post, is a list of writing prompts if the kids need them. Science: Look at plants you have at home. Talk about the parts of the plant; the seeds, the roots, the stem, the leaves, and the flower and fruit. Talk about how the nutrients travel from the roots up through the stem and into the leaves. If you have a flower like a carnation or a rose, put it in water with food coloring and let your child predict what will happen in the next few days. Help your child draw a picture of the parts of a plant, including seed, roots, stem, leaves, and flower. *Mystery Science is offering free lessons for remote learning for those who have access to computers. See https://mysteryscience.com/school-closure-planning No passwords or sign-up needed. You can watch videos and do any of the first grade activities mentioned. Math: When we return to school we will be working on non- standard measurement. Kiddos can practice this at home by walking heel to toe to various places in the house and recording the distance. Measuring various items with cereal, Legos, or pennies. Comparing items around the house and discussing which are longer and shorter. Putting items in order from shortest to longest. Math Review: Work on addition and subtraction through 20. Addition and subtraction of 2 digit numbers without regrouping. EX; 25+23= Math Games--https://www.abcya.com/grades/1/numbers Art activities: One activity the kids love to do during indoor recess is to draw.
