Academic learning at home resources have been created to provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful learning experience during the school closure. Below you will find a list of activities that your child can complete both independently and with your support.
Learning Logs are to be completed each day when work is done. These logs will be turned in at the end of the week to your teacher. Your teacher will be in contact with you this week. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.

Then create a brochure or poster that tells someone about the topic you have researched. Be sure to include text features including illustrations and captions.

*Objects can include things in your house such as q-tips, buttons, paper clips, toys, shoes, etc.
Continue to practice numbers by:
Counting a set of 20 objects (beans, toys, etc)
Drawing a picture to show how many you counted
Write the numeral to show how many
Continue to create and act out joining and separating stories problems using objects. (up to 10-e.g. There were 4 puppies in the yard and 3 more puppies came. How many puppies are there? There were 10 birds on the wire and 6 flew away. How many birds are there now?) Use *objects or drawings to represent your story.
Create your own addition/subtraction story (up to 10) and share with a family member.
Find a small collection of coins to describe and identify the names of each coin.
Find 2-D shapes at home with a family member (circle, triangle, rectangle, square). Can you sort them by shape? Can you sort them by how many sides and corners?
Find 3-D shapes at home with a family member (cylinder, cone, sphere, cube). Can you describe them using words like, “faces, edges, corners”? Can you find a 2-D shape in one of the faces? (e.g. the cylinder has 2 circle faces.) Can you sort the 3D shapes?
