Kindergarten
This week's math lessons in Kindergarten featured 5 different activities to explore and discuss patterns. Pictured below is one of those activities. The others, posted in the Kindergarten Google Classroom, encourage students to describe their thinking using math words as well as reasons why (or why not) the pattern(s) make sense.
Science featured a video on Monarch Butterflies and the following questions for family discussion:
- How do monarchs change over their lives?
- What domonarchs eat over the different times in their lives?
- Where are some of the places that monarchs live?
Grade 1
One of the activities in grade 1 reading this week was to create a Commercial for a book. This link is an example commercial for the classic Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Students could record their commercial and post it to the Grade 1 Google Classroom page as they turn in their assignment.
Grade 2
This week's grade 2 reading lesson reminded students that readers notice ways in which authors use words to make even a simple, ordinary thing be extraordinary, and they wonder, ‘What does the author really mean? They were to Listen to My Dog Is As Smelly As Dirty Socks. Hanoch Piven, the author, has filled this book with figurative language.
Students & families, can you figure out what Hanoch means in the following sentences?
Grade 3
The fairy tale writing work also continued as this week featured Jack and the Beanstalk!
Grade 4
In writing, students were presented with identifying main ideas versus themes. Check out one of the task cards below:
Grade 5
Grade 5 studens were also invited to some Quizlet Live sessions for vocabulary this week via Google Meets this week. The trivia style oline application allows students to practice, show off their knowledge, and compete against their peers.
