Memory Monday
Here are some classroom pictures from the week before school closed. I wasn’t able to post them at the time so I wanted to share now. During this activitiy we used our math and science skills to measure ingredients and make our own playdough! The children noticed that if there was too much water the dough felt sticky, and if there was too much flour the dough felt dry. Then we used the playdough to play a game called smash math. The children rolled dice, counted the spots, and smashed that number of playdough balls.
Letter of the Week
Our letter of the week is Kk!
How many things can you find in your house that begin with the letter K?
Assignment
Today we’re going to talk about the math concepts of length and measuring.
- Collect some items from around your house or backyard that you would like to measure. Toys, silverware, rocks, sticks, and pieces of paper are all examples of items you could use!
- On a piece of paper draw a line down the middle and write “longer” on one side and “shorter” on the other.
- Look at your items and decide which side of the paper they fit on. Are they shorter or longer? How do you know?
- Take some pictures and send them to me so I can see your experiment!
Odds and Ends
- Dearborn schools is still do grab and go lunch pick up during the week, but the schedule has changed. Please check dearbornschools.org for the most up to date information.
- Please continue to read together for at least 20 minutes a day. Provide your child with the opportunity to point out letters and /or words they may know, as well as describing what they see in the pictures.
- Try to get outside and walk or play in the backyard for at least 30 minutes.
