This month we are looking at seasonal and daylight patterns. Here is a fun video, including an experiment you can do at home with your child; as well as a fun activity. Have fun, and stay safe and healthy!
Social studies fun!
This month, we are learning about some of the key figures of revolutionary times in our country. Here is a fun video and activity about Thomas Jefferson.
Math practice
For math this month, we are working on division using fair and equal shares. Here is a lesson and some practice from Khan Academy:
Spreading kindness and peace
For March, in language arts, we are working on comparing stories, myths, or text with similar topics or themes. Since many of my students enjoy watching/listening to online stories, today I thought I’d share two online stories with the themes of being kind to others and spreading peace. This seems very appropriate with everything that is happening in the world. After your child watches these stories, you can talk with them about ways that they can show kindness and spread peace to their world – even in their own home. Stay healthy, everyone!
At home schoolwork
Here are some work packets for your child to work on at home, if you have access to a printer. I have included two different levels.
You can also have your child do some academics on a learning website, such as Khan Academy. Alternatively, you can simply read with your child, have them practice their writing or typing, have them do puzzles or other learning games or activities.
Please continue to be safe and healthy. District information during the school closing is available at: https://firstbell.dearbornschools.org/
