Learning Activities for Wednesday, March 25th
What is Mrs. Stortini Doing?
I’m doing the same things you are! This morning we went for a walk, and after school time we played Monopoly: Star Wars Edition. JJ was the banker and was helping Luke add together the dots on the dice and make change with the bank.
Later on Rhett and I had a snack and watched HGTV (my favorite channel!) together.
How Are You Doing?
Our school social worker and I are here to help if you or your family need anything. If you like you can fill out this survey so we know better how to help you. Click the link below to fill out the survey.
Letter of the Week
We are working on the letter G this week, yesterday you practiced writing a capital G. Today let’s practice the lowercase g. Write the lowercase g five times and send me a picture!
When you’re done, dance and sing along to this fun letter G song.
Assignment
Today we’re going to work on some science. We’re going to make predictions (a guess) about what we think will happen, and then test our prediction. We’ll record our test in a graph so we can remember what happened!
Our science experiment today will be float or sink.
Float means to stay on top of the water.
Sink means to fall to the bottom of the water.
Step 1. Collect a few things from around your house that you don’t mind getting wet. This is what I found at my house.
Step 2. Draw a table like this on a piece of paper.
Step 3. Make your predictions (guesses) about if you think that item will sink or float. Write the word or draw a picture of the item in the column.
Step 4. Fill up a container with water. I used a flower vase, but you can use anything you have at your house like a bucket, water glass, or the bath tub!
Step 5. Test your predictions! Put each item in the water and see if they sink or float. Were your predictions correct? Were you surprised by any of the tests?
Step 6. Send me pictures so I can see your experiment!
Odds and Ends
As always, make sure you’re reading together for at least 20 minutes and get outside and go for a walk. It’s supposed to warm up and I am excited to see some sun after all of the clouds on Tuesday.
I will be sending out individual lessons for each child again on Thursday through Remind, so be on the look out for those messages as well.
Dearborn Public Schools is still doing grab and go meals for families in need. This is considered an essential service and is exempt from the Governor’s order.
Have a great day!
