Good Morning! Today is E-Day and we have Art! Yesterday started the first day of our 30 day lego challenge! Alex participated and below is a picture of his roller coaster! Great work Alex! If you would like to participate, you can find the lego challenge for today at the bottom of this page!! Send me your pictures to be posted here tomorrow!

Writing- After listening to The 3 Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig, decide which version of The 3 Little Pigs stories you liked the best and why. Use the book covers below to help remember which was your favorite! Remember to start with an opening sentence. Then, give three reasons why you liked it the best using details from the text. Finally, end your writing with a closing sentence.

Here is an example to follow:

My favorite story was_______.

First I liked it because________.

Next I liked it when___________.

Last I liked it because__________.

These are the reasons I liked_________.

To make the book: (It is the same way you made it last week)

1. Take two blank papers, put them together and fold in half.

2. Staple at the crease.

3. Read Signs of Spring keep book.

4. Students cut out Spring pages

5. Students glue pages into book

6. Students should begin to illustrate the cover, pages 1 and 2. The illustration should match text to show understanding of reading and comprehension. If students want to illustrate more they can!!

The kids are familiar with keep-book making. They should be able to walk you through it!

Phonics/Spelling -

If you and your child are tired of sitting in front of the computer screen, take the long o spelling words and the word wall words outside! Get some chalk and write our spelling and word wall words on your sidewalk or driveway. You can send me pictures of them and I will post on our page! If you don’t want to go outside, complete the activity on a mini white board or piece of paper. After your child writes the word check to make sure he/she spelled it correctly. If your child is having a hard time spelling the word, remind him/her to say the word slowly to hear all the sounds in the word.

Last, re-read your long o keep book to yourself. Then get your favorite stuffed animal and read to them!

Math (Topic 14-8) Log into pearsonsuccessnet.com to complete the math assignment. It is topic 14 lesson 8. Please watch the video, do the guided practice and take the quiz. Don’t skip any of the parts! Then complete a workbook page that goes along with 14-8.

Optional- Today’s math lesson is about cups, pints, and quarts. A great hands on way to teach this lesson is through cooking. Cooking is a perfect opportunity for kids to learn about capacity. It is also a great way to teach the importance of following directions carefully. Find a recipe together and go down the list of ingredients and their amounts. Measure out the ingredients together. Send me photos of you cooking and I will put them on our page!

Word wall- Log onto IXL. Complete teacher suggested activities. It will be a review of old and new sight words.

Guidance/SEL lesson

Here is a nice lesson and message from our guidance counselor Ms. Andresini:

I am sending you my first virtual counseling lesson. This is not meant to be added work for students, but rather, a mindfulness break in their week to practice some SEL.
