Part 1- Warm up

Date: Friday, March 27th, 2020

Subject: Language Arts/ Math

Lesson: Daily Warm up- review of previously learned skills

Outcome: I can use spelling patterns to write words. I can form and use possessives. I can use prefixes effectively. I can tell and write time to the quarter hour. I can represent numbers on a number line showing multiples of ten. I can attend to important information within a word problem and solve.

Time frame: 15 minutes

Description:

-->Students will work through their warm up page beginning with the top portion which is a Language practice.

- Please go to daily warm up number 48.

-First, students will add appropriate endings to finish given words.

-Next, they will see the sentence “i dont want to go to jennys house’ They will need to add in the correct capitalization and punctuation.

-Lastly in this language part of the warm up, students are asked to add the prefix ‘re’ to all of the words in the box. If once added together, a real word is created, it goes in the left hand side. If it is not a real word, it goes on the right hand side.

-->For the math portion:

-First students will match the clock to the appropriate digit time by drawing a line.

-Below that, students are asked to fill in the blanks with ‘the ten’ that comes before and after that number. For example: 90 95 100

-On the top right, students must separate the rings into 6 groups. Then fill in how many rings are in each group (this is an into to division).

-For the last question showing a shape divided into equal parts, they need to fill in the blank with the number of pieces within the shape (Two-halves is made with _2_ parts that are each one half size.)

Lesson: Investigating Equal Groups- Drawing pictures

Outcome: I can show that I understand multiplication by drawing, showing and explaining multiplication using equal grouping.

Time frame: 30 minutes

Description:

*Please watch the video I have attached of myself explaining the concept. https://youtu.be/rcDIEdMtm8I

This is a continuation of the last lesson taught. This time instead of reading the pictures to complete a number sentence, they will be creating the pictures to go along with a number sentence.

For example:

If I give you the number sentence 4 x 5= _20_

You could draw:

XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX

Lesson: Lent- Holy Week

Outcome: Students can explain the significance of Holy week and each of its parts.

Time frame: 15 minutes

Description: Read through the following information, then turn to page 4 in your Lent and Easter Booklet. See if you can connect each special day to its definition.

Holy Week is the last week of the 40 days of Lent. It is the week right before Easter Sunday. It starts with Palm Sunday and ends with Holy Saturday. Many Christians celebrate Holy Week to commemorate the final days of Jesus.

Palm Sunday: When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on his donkey, there were many followers who wanted to see him. People crowded around him and called his name. Many called out “King” or “Savior.”

Holy Thursday: The Last Supper was on this day. Jesus sat down to eat with 12 other people. Those people were the disciples. He told the disciples that it was more important to serve someone else than to be served. He lovingly washed the feet of his disciples. After the meal was over, Jesus wanted to be alone to pray. Guards appeared a short time later and he was arrested.

Good Friday: Jesus was forced to drag a huge cross up a hill all by himself. He had a crown on his head made of a branch of thorns. He was nailed to the cross by his hands and feet.

Holy Saturday: After Jesus died, he was put in a tomb. The tomb was like a cave. The guards rolled a big rock in front of the opening to make sure that no one could get in or out.

Easter Vigil: is the first official celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus.

An array is an arrangement of objects in equal rows.

X X X X This is a 4 by 3 array

X X X X There are 4 rows with 3 counters in each row

X X X X

X X X X 4 X 3= 12

We always multiply the number going down by the number going across.

How many going down X How many going across = Total number

Try:

Please open your blue Multiplication and Division booklet and turn to page 9. On this page you will need to write the equation (or number sentence) that goes with each array.

On page 10, you will need to create the array that goes with each number sentence. Please make sure you are nice and neat because arrays need to be perfectly straight and lined up.

Lesson: Fables: The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Outcome: I can locate answers to questions and extract appropriate and significant information from printed texts. I can add a prefix to the beginning of a word and demonstrate understanding of the word by using it correctly in a sentence. I can identify words that are synonyms and words that are antonyms. I can select the correct spelling of a homophone based on the context given by the sentence.

Time frame: 45 minutes

Description: Students will read the fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf. (Yellow colored fable - 3 pages stapled). They may need help with this, so having your child read the fable out loud will allow you to jump in where they may need assistance with a word. You may also choose to take turns reading to each other.

- Underline and discuss the meaning of key vocabulary in the fable. (tending, meadow, wander, fool the villagers, naughty, ignored)

-Talk to your child about what happened in the fable. They should be able to retell you the events of what took place from beginning to end.

- Watch this animated version of the fable: The Boy who Cried Wolf

-Flip to the questions on the next page. Students will write down the answers in complete sentences. This means that the answer is a complete thought and includes a capital and proper punctuation. We just began working on answering questions in a complete sentence. Some may need you to check if it is a complete sentence for them or guide them on how to make it a complete sentence.

-Students will work through the booklet following the directions in each section.

*remind students to take their time to print neatly :)

Time frame: 45 minutes

Description:

There are three key pieces that make a Fable. Don’t forget: They are short, they are (usually) about animals, and they teach a lesson.

-The animals fables are 'personified' this means they are given human characteristics. Like how the ant and the grasshopper are talking with each other. Sometimes we see animals cooking, laughing, working, etc. These are all human characteristics we are pretending the animals are doing.

-Students will read the fable The Ant and the Grasshopper. (light blue colored fable - 3 pages stapled). They may need help with this, so having your child read the fable out loud will allow you to jump in where they may need assistance with a word. You may also choose to take turns reading to each other.

- Underline and discuss the meaning of key vocabulary in the fable. (bright, store, insects, plenty, field, save, summer, busy, warm, winter)

-Talk to your child about what happened in the fable. They should be able to retell you the events of what took place from beginning to end.

- Watch the animated version of the fable by clicking here.

-Flip to the questions on the next page. Students will write down the answers in complete sentences. This means that the answer is a complete thought and includes a capital and proper punctuation.

-Students will work through the booklet following the directions in each section. Please remind students to take their time to print neatly.

The Fox and the Grapes- One often hates what one cannot have.

The Fox and the Crow- Never trust a flatterer

The Ant and the Grasshopper- There is a time for work and a time for play

The Fox and the Stork- Treat others the way you want to be treated

Steps to write your fable:

-You can create your fable in your journal or on a Google Doc.

-Decide what moral or lesson you would like your fable to teach others.

- Once you have finished writing, draw a title page to go with it (optional)

- Send me a completed copy!

Don’t forget:

1. State your moral at the end of your fable.

2. Edit/re-read your writing to make sure your spelling and punctuation are correct.

3. Have FUN and be CREATIVE! I can’t wait to read them!

Part 2

Subject: Math

Lesson: Measurement- Measuring Perimeter

Outcome: I can find the perimeter of an object when the measurements are given.

Time frame: 45 minutes

Description:

Please watch my Perimeter video.

Perimeter is the distance around the outside of an object. We measure each side and add them together to find the perimeter.

For example, if we wanted to find out the perimeter of a rectangle, we would measure all of the sides with our ruler, and then add those numbers all together. Our answer would be the Perimeter.

So, we would write: 7 + 3 + 7 + 3= 20cm

The perimeter is 20 cm.

As we get started with Perimeter our numbers and units will be given to us, in our next lesson we will need to take those measurements ourselves before adding.

Please read pages 33 and 34 in your Measurement Booklets. Then, complete pages 37 (front and back) and 38.

Resources:

• Mrs. Moore’s Perimeter video

• Measurement Booklet

• Ruler

Supplementary practice for today:

• Find some items with straight sides around your house and see if you can find the perimeter of them. Ask your mom or dad to check to see if you are right! (Books, food items from your pantry, drawers, etc.)

• Go to Mathletics and try the perimeter and measurement questions

• Complete some pages in your Time and Calendar booklets.

• Try your months of the year and days of the week flashcards. Can you still put them in order?

Lesson: Fairy Tales

Outcome: I can listen, speak, read, write, and represent to comprehend and respond personally and critically to oral, print and other media texts.

Time frame: 45 minutes

Description:

1. Read the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk in your fairy tale booklet (p.57-63)

In class we would have acted out the story. Here are some ideas on how to read the fairy tale in a creative way:

a) Assign family members a different role and read through the fairy tale together each family member acting out a different role. You can even film this and then watch it together for a few laughs afterwards.

b) Get socks/puppets/dolls to read and “act out” the different characters in the fairy tale.

c) Film yourself acting out the story and watch it after to giggle at all the different voices and actions you acted out :)

2.Watch the video of Jack and the Beanstalk

3. Complete the chart on page 64. Fill in the characters and setting of Jack and the Beanstalk. Summarize and retell the fairy tale in the three boxes provided filling in the beginning, middle and end as well as filling in characters and setting of the fairy tale.
