Today Ms. Unis and I will be calling all families. We will be talking with you about logging into your child’s school email. We will be using this log in information in order to have our class meetings from now on. We will be calling starting around 10:00 until the afternoon. If an unknown number or blocked number calls, please answer it because it will probably be me or Mrs. Unis.
I have included some learning websites with the activities as well. I have had parents asking for more to do so I put those there just as extra, if wanted or needed. You do not have to go to those websites if you do not want to.
| Main Idea | Earth Day |
| Literacy Activity (10 minutes) | Nature Hunt – Go outside and do the nature hunt with your child. Have your child ‘read’ to you what they need to find by reading the pictures. You can do the nature hunt in your own yard or go for a walk. I will be doing it with my kids!  (*Nature Hunt created by Ms. Makinson on Teacher Pay Teachers*) |
| Math Activity (10 minutes) | Outline matching – choose different items from around the house to trace onto paper. Items could be fork, spoon, coins, toys, remote, or phone. Have your child pick up the different items and match the item to the outline. Talk about the different items comparing them to the others. Which are big, which are small, what shape are they (circle, rectangle, triangle). |
| Play Activity (Work Time) (1 hour or more) | Start (Plan): Ask your child “What would you like to do today?” Play (Do): Allow your child to play for at least 1 hour of free play time with their toys (no screens-no TV, no tablets). It is important for your child to have time to be creative and use their imagination. Clean-Up: Provide a warning before it is time for your child to clean up, so they can bring an end to their play. Then have them clean up, or help clean up, the toys they were playing with. It should not be your job to clean up after your child. End (Review): Ask your child “What did you do today?” *Mention what they told you at the start and see if they did do that or if they chose to do something different. It is ok if they change their mind and do something different.* |
