May the 4th be With You

Happy Monday! It was another gorgeous weekend! My family and I went riding bikes and worked in the yard to get outside. What did you you do? For today, please listen to 1 or 2 stories from Epic books through our classroom account. The link is https://www.getepic.com/ for books. The other story I want everyone to listen to is below. It is an animated video of the story and fun to watch.

Today is Monday so we will be writing a story. Please make your story about 2 or 3 things you miss about school. Make sure your picture matches what you are saying you miss. Remember you are the Author and Illustrator of your story. So you are doing the picture and “writing the ABC words” for your story. When finished, please write down what your child said about their picture, take a pic of their picture and send it to me at Liepeb@dearbornschools.org

We have added a new online individualized learning piece for the students to work on numeracy. Our class code is 911 561 to access it. There is also a link in our Google Classroom to the site. Every child has an account that I setup for them and I sent their password with the student login information yesterday. https://happynumbers.com/ . This site is awesome because it adjusts to the child’s knowledge of numbers. They will all start with a quick assessment to guide the lessons that are individualized for them. We already have six(6) students that completed the initial assessment and are on their personalized learning path into Kindergarten. Please make sure you are logging in and working toward your weekly goal of 40 minutes a week. (10minutes/4days)

Thank you for continuing to help your kids while schools are closed. The new district remote learning plan is out and every student is required to work on assigned schoolwork for 2-3 hours daily and have contacts with the teacher every week. I am required to hear from every student also, this can be as simple as sending me a picture of one of the assignment from the day or commenting below in the comments. https://dearbornschools.org/services/dearborn-public-schools-continuity-of-learning-plan/

The children’s daily routine will be just like at school and have all the pieces that I did with them at school. So they will have a reading/listening activity, a writing activity, a mathematics activity, imaginative play (Plan, Do, Review), creative arts and gross motor. The fine motor activities are built into some of the other activities but may also be the activity.

The imaginative play and Plan, Do, Review are as easy as a couple times a day when the children are going to play start by asking them what their plan is, some examples are; What they will play with? What they are going to do with it? Who they might play with? How hey are going to use it? Then when they are done ask them to recall. Have them tell you details of the play activity they did.

The daily writing, reading and gross motor is always addressed in these 3 simple daily homework assignments since the beginning of the year. 1.Practice Writing. 2.Practice Reading. 3.Playing outside (social distanced) (ABC fit kids using 2 family members names or Cosmic Kids Yoga, CosmicKids.com ).

If you need to get a hold of me I can still be reached by email Liepeb@dearbornschools.org or you can call my classroom number (-827-7238) and leave a message, they go to my email. If I call back it will come from an unknown or unavailable number. I will only call Monday-Thursday between 9am-3pm. Be on the lookout for a call this week.

After listen to it today the students will do some comparing of objects that I know everyone has at home. You wil gather a shoe from everyone in your home and compare them. Tell your adult about how they are different. Then line them up from smallest to largest and describe them again. (this should change the discridtions to compare of size.) Then have them pick the most colorful shoe and trace it. After it is traced have them color it to make it a pair.

Tuesday Sink & Float

For today we are going to focus on science, specifically Sink & Float. I am including a video lesson from YouTube with the directions for how to do an experiment. In this video, they use a separate container on a table filled with water. You can do this – or if you prefer – you can do this in the sink or the bathtub while they take a bath.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is sink-float.jpg
This is an example of how to draw your own chart at home to track the results of your child’s experiment

For today, your child can watch the video of how to do the sink or float experiment. After watching the video, your child will need your help to choose items from around the house that are ok to get wet. Before putting an item into the water, talk to your child about if they think the item will sink if they think it will float. Ask them WHY they think it will float or sink. Then, have your child try and see if their guess was right or wrong. When finished, please write down what your child said and take a pic of their sheet then send it to me at Liepeb@dearbornschools.org I am really hoping to get a picture from every student this week.

Monday 4/20

Happy Monday! It was a nice weekend and we got outside for fresh air. My family and I went riding bikes after playing in the snow on Friday. For today, the story today the story will be from Epic books through our classroom account. The link is https://www.getepic.com/ for books I will be linking for the children to listen to at home. Sign your child up to see the stories I am linking for them to listen too. They will also be able to listen to many other books and stories of their choosing. The class code is mhe8655. We are thinking spring, so listen to this story for free with the account you create.  https://www.getepic.com/app/read/14422 is the story without the pictures and below is a video of someone reading the story.

Today is Monday so we will be writing a story about what you did over the weekend. Remember you are the Author and Illustrator of your story. So you are doing the picture and “writing the ABC words” for your story. When finished, please write down what your child said about their picture, take a pic of their picture and send it to me at Liepeb@dearbornschools.org

Thank you for continuing to help your kids while schools are closed. The new district remote learning plan is out and every student is required to work on assigned schoolwork for 2-3 hours daily and have 2 contacts with the teacher every week so we will begin having a google hangout on Wednesday every week were the students will be able to say hi and listen to an activity. For the second contact I am required to hear from every student also, this can be as simple as sending me a picture of one of the assignment from the day or commenting below in the comments. https://dearbornschools.org/services/dearborn-public-schools-continuity-of-learning-plan/

The children’s daily routine will be just like at school and have all the pieces that I did with them at school. So they will have a reading/listening activity, a writing activity, a mathematics activity, imaginative play (Plan, Do, Review), creative arts and gross motor. The fine motor activities are built into some of the other activities but may also be the activity.

The imaginative play and Plan, Do, Review are as easy as a couple times a day when the children are going to play start by asking them what their plan is, some examples are; What they will play with? What they are going to do with it? Who they might play with? How hey are going to use it? Then when they are done ask them to recall. Have them tell you details of the play activity they did.

I need to hear from everyone via comment here of the best time of day for your family on Wednesdays. I have to setup a quick virtual check-in so we can ALL see other. The 3 times I am looking at are 10am, 11am, or noon(12pm). We will do our best to accommodate most but have additional meeting that I am required to attend. I will also need to make sure you are getting the text messages I send because that is where I will send the link to the meeting for privacy reasons.(this is a public page) if not email me the phone number you want me to use.

Thursday 4/16

Good morning! I hope everyone is still remembering to get outside for fresh air every day. But I also know that my boys have been enjoying riding their bikes up and and playing around our house. I know it’s hard when it snows in April but it is still super important.

For today, I am including a story we have read in class before that is also a rhyming story called “Is Your Mama a Llama”.

For today’s activity, have your child watch the story. When the story is over, they can make a picture of the people in their family. Talk with your child about what is the same and what is different about the people in their picture. For example, in my family myself, Quintin and Aurora have brown hair. While Mrs. Liepe, Xaiver and Bruce have blonde hair. Also 4 of us have brown eyes and Mrs. Liepe and Bruce have blue eyes. Be sure to keep using descriptive words like “same” and “different” as you and your child talk about their picture.

When finished, please write down what your child said is the same or different on their picture, take a pic of their picture and send it to me at Liepeb@dearbornschools.org

I LOVE being able to see the children’s pictures… faces… drawings and everything else you have all been sending. They brighten my day. Thank you for continuing to help your kids while schools are closed.

Since this is long term I am going to have everyone add an easy piece to the children’s daily routine, Plan, Do, Review. A couple times a day when the children are going to play start by asking them what their plan is, some examples are; What they will play with? What they are going to do with it? Who they might play with? How hey are going to use it? Then when they are done ask them to recall. Have them tell you details of the play activity they did.

  1. Practice Writing.
  2. Practice Reading.
  3. Playing outside (social distanced) (ABC fit kids using 2 family members names or Cosmic Kids Yoga, CosmicKids.com ).

If you need to get a hold of me I can still be reached by email Liepeb@dearbornschools.org or you can call my classroom number (3-827-7238) and leave a message, they go to my email. If I call back it will come from an unknown or unavailable number.
