Day 2-March 17, 2020        Happy St. Patrick's Day

Religion- Today, we celebrate his feast day.  Please remember him in your prayers.  St. Patrick was a missionary.  He traveled to another country to tell people about God's love.  He taught the people of Ireland about God.  I would like you to pray the sign of the cross.  God the Father. God the Son. God the Holy Spirit.  You are One.  With St. Patrick, we pray for your blessing every day!  Pray the sign of the cross.  Look around your house to find a cross, or you may make one to share the prayer.  You may also construct a shamrock.  Think of each clover as a part of the Trinity.  God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  May faith live in your hearts.  Don't forget to complete the ABC Religion Booklet pp. 148-149.  Today, pg. 148 is on the cross.

God bless you!

Reading- Practice learning your i-Ready lesson 20 minutes.  Complete your worksheet pp. 289-290 on short e.  Proceed to your Memory word sheet or Memory flashcards that you made, and keep reviewing the following words...the, of, and ,a, to.  Use them in sentences as well.  In your Word Family Booklet, complete pp. 6,7 (the phoneme -ank).  Add these words to your flashcards.  Use them in sentences.  Superkids Booklet- Review pp. 1-4.  In addition, make a list of "k" items in your house.  Maybe you can find some pictures online to recite.  Have your own show and tell with your parents.  They can join you.  Remember to print your letters Kk and Qq.  Practice makes perfect.  I hope you rare practicing your name as well.  Discuss the poster on page 1, before you read the skit, The Glum Princess.  What does glum mean?  It means sad.  Have them identify the Superkid who looks like the description (Cass).  Ask what Ettabetta is dressed as? Say queen and have your child say is several times.  If you say a word that begins with Q like queen, the letter q is always followed by u.  Recite these words:  quarter,, quilt, quick, quiz.  Recite the Q pictures on p.2.  Make sure you can hear the differences between K and Q.  I call them the queen and king of letters.  I suggest that parents keep reviewing them during the day, as a pop quiz.  You can have them hop like a kangaroo, if they say any K words.  If they say a Q word, have them bow to the queen.  As another written review, have them print these tow sentences:  Cass will act glum.  It is fun to act!  Practice, at least, 3 times each.  Review pp. 5-6 with them.  We completed these in class.  Do the best you can, since we use a CD.  Before tackling the skit, introduce these words- like, of, no, pick, sick, grin, contest, problem.  Explain the meaning of the word and ask them to try to use it in a sentence.  Please have them read only pp. 7-9.  Take this slowly, it's more challenging for them.  Ask questions such as ...What is the plot? problem, solution? What kind of story is this?  a play or skit.  Understand the characters.  Determine important ideas.  Draw conclusions.  Make predictions.  After, you read pp. 7-9. Reread it during the day.  Enjoy reading!

Math-Log on to i-Ready for 20 minutes.  Make sure they are on math skills.  Complete worksheet pp. 139-140.  Review addition facts up to 7, the same with subtraction.  After reviewing, proceed to a paper or white board and show them the equations,, such as 3 +2=5 and 2+3=5, then proceed to subtraction, 5-2=3 and 5-3=2.  Show them these families.  Some students like number lines. Some might want to use ten frames.  Some of them liked number bonds.  Introduce various ways, and let them choose.  But it is important, that they see equations of the two different operations (addition and subtraction).  Set examples.  Please remember to look at the first packet I sent you.  Enclosed was a sheet with various websites.  Introduce them to your child.  If you want them to spend less time on the screen, I suggest taking playing cards and play Victory (War) or roll dice to join numbers (add) or roll 2 dice and then roll one to form a subtraction (take away) problem.  I'm sure your child would like to play Candyland or Monopoly, or Uno.

Your next classes will be posted tomorrow.  Please remember to sign your sign in sheet that you printed from the school webpage.  You may also, use the one that I placed in the packet.  Have a nice St. Patrick's Day! 

 I care about you!  God Bless You!

Day 3- March 18, 2020

Religion-Read and complete pp. 150-151 (E,F). They may color the pictures.  There are passages from the Bible, to explain the pictures.  I'd like for the children to continue their study from our Religion book in class.  We completed Chapter 18-Meals are good.  This lesson tells us about Jesus' last meal with his apostles.  We know this meal as the Last Supper, which is Holy Thursday.  Please talk to them about how special it was to Him.  Did your child connect the story with Mass?  Did they remember that the bread and wine shared at the Last Supper was special?  Encourage them to talk about it.  Tell them to imagine that they taking and eating the bread, and then, taking and drinking form the cup that Jesus shared at the last meal.  Jesus was actually sharing the gift of Himself in a very special way.  Jesus said, do this in memory of me.  We do this, even today, at Mass with the priest.  You might want your child to reenact this moment by using grape juice and bread.  At Mass, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus.  Jesus gives us the gift of himself in Holy Communion.  In a couple of years, you'll be able to receive Holy Communion at Mass.  Have the children make placemats showing God's gift of bread.  Make a loaf of bread together and share it.  Please remember to say your prayers.

Reading- Practice learning your i-Ready lesson for 20 minutes.  Complete your worksheet pp. 291-292 (adding short e) (listen for short i).  Proceed to complete your Word Family booklet pp. 8-9 (phoneme-ap).  Make new flashcards for the rhyming words on the page.  Try using them in sentences.  Proceed to the Memory words and practice.  As a warm up, practice Kk, Qq on paper.  Take turns having them write duck, truck, sack, quack.  Tell them that k at the end of the words is spelled ck.  Superkids book- pgs. 8 & 9, review and reread.  Ask some comprehension questions.  Review important ideas.  Do you draw any conclusions?  Does the queen think a pet contest will cheer up the princess?  How do you know?  On page 9, identify the memory word in the first sentence.  Read the page aloud.  Do you think the princess will like a pet?  Why or why not"  If she would like a pet, do you think she would like a big pet? odd pet? a fat pet?  Some other kind of pet?  They should give reasons to support their ideas.  Discuss the play.  If the princess has lots of fun gifts, why is she still unhappy?  Will a pet contest make her happy?  If you  were a king or queen, how would you try to make her happy.  Have your child draw a picture and write 2 sentences about an animal for the pet contest.  Please make flashcards for Letter Kk: kit, kick, kids, skit , duck,, sock.  Qq:  queen, quick, quilt, quiet  *Possibly, before they go to bed, maybe they could choose a storybook for your to read.  Use this for Book It for the month of March.

Math- Log in to i-Ready for 20 minutes.  Complete worksheet pp. 153-154.  Review their flashcard facts.  First for addition, facts to 7.  If they need more, challenge to 8.  Try subtraction facts to 5.  When they are more confident try 6 facts, and so on.  They will tell you, when they can be challenged.  Please make sure they have flashcards for number words zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.  Also, make cards for the words "more" and "fewer".  Make sets by using blocks, pennies, or beans.  Arrange two sets.  Which has more, then ask which is less or fewer?  Make at least 12 examples.  Then show the written word:   ____________ is more than ________ or  ____________ is fewer than ______.  One to one comparisons are important.

You could play the game "Match and More".  You show a set of objects.  Your child matches it, showing a set with the same number of objects, and then places more objects so the set has more.

Invite your child to design two different hats by pasting shapes on paper hats that they draw and cut out.  Explain that one hat must have more shapes than the other.  Have fun creating!

Tomorrow, I will add a lesson on Social Studies.

It's fun and very easy to play!           Reread the story "Let's Get Set".   The Superkids had fun mixing different colors of paint. As you read, start thinking of how you could mix colors at home using watercolors. Ask your parents, if you could do this on paper. If no paint is available, use your crayons as best you can. Create colors on your paper. I'd love to see a sample, when you come back. Make a chart with your color words. Practice reading your color words. What's your favorite color?

Math - Log in to i-Ready Math for 20 minutes. Complete worksheet pp.25-26 (figures). Afterwards, ask your parents to assist you in cutting out shapes.  See if you can make other bigger shapes using smaller shapes.  Now place the shapes to make a picture. I would enjoy seeing what you create! Bring it back to school to share!                                       Review your addition and subtraction facts on paper. Today, concentrate on facts of 5. If you can go to 6 facts. Great!  Have a contest with your parents using you flashcards.          Yesterday, we discussed making sets more than, fewer than, or equal to. Take your blocks or beans or coins and display a train of 5 and a train of 7. Make equal sets by adding to it.  Keep practicing. Take turns making examples. Do several examples for more than.....fewer than.....equal to.                                                                                                    Use balls of play doh of equal weights to make sculptures.

Day 5 - March 20, 2020

Religion - Chapter 23                                                                                                                               First complete the worksheets pp.154-155 (Isaac/Jesus). Discuss the information and color worksheet.  Continue the study of Chapt.23- Air Is Good.  Explain to your child that we appreciate and respect air as a gift from God. Jesus also gave us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Compare air and wind to the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit helps us be good and love like Jesus.    If you have a pinwheel at home or bubbles, watch how unique it is to blow the air. What a unique gift from God.

Reading - Today, instead of practicing i-Ready, go to Scholastic News.com and explore their stories and skills. I feel the students need a change of pace. In my lesson plans, from Day 4, I suggested going to Pizza Hut -Book It.com   They decided to share some activities as well.                                                                                                                                        Complete the worksheet pp.299-300 on Short u.  Review your flashcards. Complete pp.12-13 in your Word Family Booklet. Add four more words to your list. Try using them in sentences.    Superkids- Review Act 1 - them proceed to Act 2- pp.10-16. Echo read the first time. Afterwards, discuss the vocabulary, understand the characters, give opinions, determine important ideas. Ask them many questions about the story. We will be on this skit for a couple of days.  They need to understand  and comprehend the skit.                       Have them draw their favorite character so far. On the back of your paper, predict what animal the princess will choose.  

Math - Complete worksheet pp.27-28(Color Patterns and Shape Patterns). Practice flashcards. Practice printing numbers O- 10 on a lined paper.  In addition, I feel it would be helpful to recognize the words as well. Also, please help them to understand ordinals: first, second, third , fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth. 

Draw an imaginary animal on a piece of paper. Here are the directions: Draw a rectangle body.  Draw 4 rectangle legs as long as your thumb. Draw a circle for a head as wide as your pinky finger.  Draw a line for a tail shorter than your pencil. Draw in eyes, nose, and a mouth. I can't wait to see your creation!

Happy Spring!!!!

Day 6 - March 23, 2020

Religion - Complete worksheets pp.156-157 (K-King David/ L-Lamb). Read and discuss pages. Read the Bible passages, if you need  more specific explanations. Color the pages.  Review Chapter 23: Air is good.   The Holy Spirit is good.  We cannot see the Holy Spirit,, but we can see the loving actions that the Holy Spirit helps people do.  The Holy Spirit helps us love as Jesus did.  Because we cannot see the Holy Spirit, we have symbols to stand for the Holy Spirit. One of them is a dove.  When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit came down like a dove. A dove is a very gentle bird.  It is a symbol of love and peace.  Why is this a good symbol? It's a good symbol because the Holy Spirit brings Jesus' love into the world.  Today, I would like you to draw a dove, as best as you can.  Please bring it back to school. In addition, I would like you to pray to the Holy Spirit today.  Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill me with love.  Holy Spirit help us respect and love everyone.  Help us respect the gifts of air, water, earth, and living things that God has given us.

Reading - Review your vocabulary flashcards. Introduce 5 new memory words from your sheet. New words: in, is, you, that, it.  Read them together. Use them in a sentence, after your parent explains the meaning. Make flashcards for each. Study one a day. See if you can recognize that word in a storybook.                                                                               Complete pp.14-15 in your Word Family Booklet. The phoneme is a long a sound. Complete the pages together. Introduce the "ai" sound, but they do not have to master this sound.  They will hear it again in first grade, when they are introduced to all long vowel sounds. It won't hurt to try the sound. Remind them.....when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. You don't have to make flashcards for these words.

 Complete worksheets pp. 77-78. It's a nice review of the alphabet. After they complete, the dot-to-dot, ask them to say the name of the letter and the sound.  This will give you a better idea of how well they know the letters. Some of the students may need a review.   

Superkids: "The Glum Princess"- Reread Acts 1 and 2. First, echo read word by word. Second time, reread by each sentence or part. Quiz them on vocabulary in the story. Quiz them on the characters introduced. Ask them their opinions about the animals chosen. Ask them important ideas of why certain animals would be liked or disliked by the glum princess.                                                                                                                                                       Third time reading: Try to read with expression. When they are finished, ask them to fold a paper in half. On one side, draw what happened at the beginning and on the other side, what's happening in the middle of the story.  Please bring this back to school with your name at the top. 

Math - Complete pp.29-30 (Size and growing patterns/ Transfer patterns)(Please remember these worksheets will be completed and returned.)                                                      Practice your addition facts and subtraction facts using your flashcards.                                Reading addition- To help children read addition sentences, introduce the word plus. I have discussed it in class, so they should remember the term. Show the symbol "+" as well. Plus means to join groups or add.  Write a few examples on paper and guide them in reading and interpreting.                                                                                                                    Very important information about Eureka Math - Step1 -  I would like you to go to this website -        greatminds.org                                                                                                                 Step 2 -           access free resources                                                                                                       Step 3 -           press Knowledge on the Go                                                                                           Step 4 -           press Kindergarten                                                                                                         Step 5 -           press Eureka Math- Module 4 - Lesson 1 - Model composition and                                           decomposition of numbers to 5, using actions, objects, and drawings.           Listen to the video.

Day 7 -   Tuesday,  March 24, 2020

Religion -Complete p.158(M-Manger). I'm sure they'll be able to discuss this picture and relate to the birth of the baby Jesus. Also, did they notice M for Mary. Let's see what they know about Mary as well. Please color.                                                                                     Chapter 23 - Today is our last day on this chapter. Remind your child to be open to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, by setting aside time to pray. When your child starts making more decisions, encourage them to pray for guidance. I always say, make good choices. The most powerful way to teach this, is by example.  Here are some activities your child might like to try. 1. Clean an area of your house. 2. Place a penny or nickel in their rice boxes for Lent. (for the missions)Maybe, they can earn that penny by doing good deeds for you or others. 3. Read a story from their children's Bible and perform a skit for others in the household. Invite your child to echo this prayer:

When I run in the sun, God is there, God is there.                                                                           When I fall playing ball, God cares, God cares.                                                                                 When I'm sad or I'm glad, God knows, God knows.                                                                         When I mind or I'm kind, God sees, God sees.                                                                                   God is with me day and night.                                                                                                                 Helping me to do what's right.                                                                                                               I love you, GOD!

Help me all day long to be just like you.....kind,wise, and strong.  Complete worksheet p.160.(O is for Offering). Discuss and read the Bible passage as well. Talk about why we give to others who are less fortunate. Maybe today you would like to earn a couple of pennies to place in your rice box. You may return your rice boxes when we come back to school!  Thank you for your generosity!                                                                                                              Chapter 24 - Day 1- Happy People Bring Joy - Jesus brought joy to the world. He wants us to share his joy. Loving and helping others brings them joy.  It brings us joy too.  In the last chapter, we talked about the Holy Spirit, who was sent by Jesus.The Holy Spirit loves like Jesus. Jesus sends us another gift. He wants us to be joyful, Happy!                       Draw a sad face on a piece of paper. How do people feel when they look like this? Who can change a frown to a smile? Take your drawing and turn it upside down, so you turn it into a smile.  We smile when we're happy. Talk about happiness. Being with people who are happy can make us feel happy. Their smiles make us happy! Think of what made you happy. Draw a picture of happiness with your family! Remember, all of us can be happy, because God loves us! Right now, stand and sing "If You're Happy and You Know It".

Reading - Practice the exercises on i-Ready for 20 minutes.  Complete p.231-Identifying colors by coloring the Clown Picture. Review your Memory(sight) Words on your flashcards.

First, echo read with your parent. Then try to reread on your own. If you can, start taking one of the parts of a character that you like. Ask your parent to be another. Practicing a skit can be fun. It's very much like, what we're doing with "Goldilocks". It takes practice.                    Let's discuss Act 3 -Who is speaking? Hot Rod. What part is he playing? What do you think he plans on doing with the dragon?     Who is Golly? Why is Daffodil chained to a rock? Why shouldn't a dragon huff and puff? Why do you think the Queen says the dragon is a bad pet?  Why doesn't the Princess want to get rid of the dragon? Did the Princess pick her pet? Is she happy? Why?

Journaling:  Find a notebook or put together some blank sheets of paper. They should print their name at the top and date next to it. Have them write a sentence and draw a picture about their day. It can be anytime of the day. If their searching for an idea, have them look out the window or around their environment. This journal will be a good source of information. It gives me a better idea of what their experiencing. (If they skip a day, I will understand. In general, this is somewhat like a mini-diary.) Please encourage this practice. It will keep up with some skills. Even if they practice a letter and write the sentence about it, that will be acceptable. Tell them to try their best. If they do it by themselves, I understand some words will be spelled incorrectly. Let them decide if they need assistance or not. It's about them. Thank you for your cooperation.

If any students need extra material,  you may go to LearningResources.com or look at the sheet of websites I placed in your first E-Learning packet. Enjoy!

Religion - Good morning! Let's start the day with a prayer. Our Father.... Complete worksheet p.161 (P is for Parable). Discuss that a parable is a short story that tells a lesson to be learned. If you have a Bible, read Matthew 13:3. He talks about seeds being sown.                                                                                                                                                              Chapter 24 - Day 2 - God wants us to be joyful.  People who are really happy make us smile and share joy with us.  But only God can fill us with the fullness of joy.  Only God can make us completely happy. God wants us to share joy with others. Each smile is an act of love. It spreads from one person to another. What are some things you might do to bring a smile to someone?  Greet the person, do something to help someone, tell someone something funny or something happy. Pray this prayer today.....Lord, you fill me with Joy today!!!!!

Reading - Practice the skills in i-Ready for 15 min. today. Complete worksheet p.232- Identifying colors. Make flashcards with just the color words. Do you know them? Practice your flashcards with your Memory(sight) Words. Practice your words from Superkids.(especially from the skit) They're a bit difficult. Try your best.                               Superkids - Reread "The Glum Princess".  You might need your parents to echo the first read, then try it yourself. Today, I would like to discuss the entire play.                          1) What was the problem at the beginning of the play? How did the king try to solve the problem? How was the problem finally solved?           (They're recognizing the plot: Problem and solution.                                                                                                                               2) Why do you think the princess chose the dragon for her pet? What do you think she'll do with him?                             (Children are  drawing conclusions.)                                              3) Do you think Daffodil is a dangerous dragon? Why or why not?  (Once again, the student is drawing conclusions.)

Discuss and model a reread of the play using a pitch and volume. In other words, use expression when you read. It makes reading more exciting. Explain that when you read you use a loud and clear voice, so that everyone can hear and understand. You might want to point out the difference when you see a period versus an exclamation mark. They should remember this idea from class.                                            

Math - Complete worksheet p.39 (left,between, right) and p.40(before, between, after). When your done, you might want to play a quick game of Simon Says.  Review addition flashcards. And slowly review subtraction facts.  No i-Ready today. We'll continue it on Monday.

It is a time for us to grow. During Lent, we grow in God's love.  We pray and do good deeds. By Easter our hearts should be full of love. During your time to grow, hopefully you colored your Lenten calendar. Remember the last day our caterpillar turns into a butterfly. On Sunday, we celebrate Palm Sunday. Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey. People praised him. Hosanna in the highest! Remember the palms we made. You will get them, when we come back. You can pretend that you are one of the townspeople who chanted those words. Please go to www.CatholicBrain.com, you will find some information about Palm Sunday. There is even a vimeo.  Please take time to pray on Sunday.  Next week, we start Holy Week. Prayer is very important. Please pray.

*Perhaps, you can take a seed from an apple or a bean and plant it in soil. Watch it grow.  Jesus will help His love grow in our hearts.   

Reading - Today, I would like you to take a rest from i-Ready.  Instead, choose a fun book to read. Read the Superkids story, "The Odd Picnic". First echo read, then try reading it independently. What happened? Go over what each character brought to their picnic. What happened at the end? What was the lesson learned? Have you ever gone on a picnic? Was it odd or strange? In your journal, write one sentence about going on a picnic. What did you bring? Draw a picnic picture.

Math  - Today, I would like you to take a rest from i-Ready. Complete worksheet p. 57 on number patterns. p.58- Problem solving.  After you complete your Eureka Lesson, choose a fun game to play using dice, playing cards, or a game board. Maybe play bozo buckets using cups and a small ball. When you land in a cup, have your parent give you an addition or subtraction problem.                                                                                                     Eureka Math - Review the lesson from Thursday. Proceed to Mod.4-Lesson 10. Objective: Model decomposition of 6-8 using linking cube sticks to see patterns.  Make sure you have the supplies needed for Mr. Hammer. If you can, improvise. For instance, you can make a set of paper linking cubes, by cutting paper into 10 cubes. This will make your work easier if you have manipulatives that are similar. Try your best!                                                                          

Social Studies: Unit 3- Lesson 4 (taken from their book)     How do people earn money? Explain that people work to earn money to pay for their bills and to buy things they need or want. Why do people have different jobs? Does a firefighter or police officer have a service job or a job that makes goods?  Where does a grocer get the food they sell?  Why do people work? What do people do with the money they earn? Ask your child to name a job that they can do. Many jobs that a child may do are service jobs. They are jobs that help people. Name some jobs you can do for family or neighbors. Invite your child to share shopping trips. What do you use to buy the items?  Have them draw a picture of some of the things they shop for at the grocery store. Label your picture.

• Today play grocery store with you toys. Pretend that you are buyer of groceries. Then try being the grocer(the person who sells the food to you).

Science: UNIT C- Lesson 1 - What can you see on the Earth?  The Earth has a variety of landforms, made of rock, soil, water, and air. Describe these four landforms as best as you can. Show them a map of the Unites States. Locate for them different regions. Explain to them, that there's different  landforms all over our map. The Earth has mountains and valleys. It has deserts and oceans. How does the Earth look where you live? Draw a picture . Discuss the following: How do we use water? How do we use soil? Why is it important to recycle? How do you recycle in your household?

*Next time, you brush your teeth , check to see how much water you use. One of the ways is to fill up a bucket with a measuring cup. It's best to keep the water off, instead of letting it run continuously.  We waist a lot of water. Try to keep it off, until you have to rinse. Let's conserve. Earth Day is coming soon. It's April 22nd. I want you to start thinking of a Recycling Project.  We won't work on it now. 

Wishing you a great weekend! Take a look outside at all your landforms.  Have a fun day!

***Attention: Dear Parents: As much as I'd like to hold a Zoom meeting with the children at 1:00pm, I'm cancelling, until I investigate this further. Thank you for your patience at this time.

Even though, we don't call today Holy Monday, it would be nice if you could make some special Easter cards, for special people in your lives. You coule make cross shapes or maybe make your card in the shape of an egg or maybe an Easter bunny! Have fun!  Complete worksheet p.167 (V is for vine).If you follow Jesus' footsteps, meaning his kindness and love; you will be successful and a very caring person. We need to make good choices.  

*If you didn't get a chance to view the video on Palm Sunday, please take a look. (It's at www.CatholicBrain.com)  You will notice other vimeos during this holy week that I will suggest.

Reading - Practice your i-Ready skills for 20 minutes. Take your time. Do the best you can.  Afterwards, complete Worksheet p.336 (Flower Power). Go to your Memory word sheet and make flashcards for the next three sight words(have, from, little). Use these words in sentences orally. Complete pp.32-33 in your Word Family book. Make flashcards for (fin,pin,win,spin).                                                                                                           Superkids - In your books, complete p.24-Identify pictures that begin with Jj. p.25 - On this page have your child circle these words on the left side(jacks,egg,jam,jacket, bells,duck,buttons). Then proceed to the right side and have them insert these vowels in the following words (Toc- o-pot, Hotrod - i -pit, Lily - e-pet), next (Alf - i-sick, Ettabetta - o -sock, Fritz -a -sack). I would take these 6 words and make flashcards for them. (Pot,pit,pet,sick,sock,sack). Take out your white board or paper and practice printing uppercase J and lowercase j. Try printing these words.....jet, job, jam. Do you like jam?          For fun: Pretend your jumping rope if your parent says a Jj word. Examples- Here is a list.

Science  - STEM - Inspired snack ideas: Little engineer creations.                                             Step 1 - Gather toothpicks, cubed apples(or grapes), cubed cheese.                                           Step 2 - Have children connect apples and cheese cubes with toothpicks. When putting together structures like this, it gets them thinking in two ways, A. What to make? B. How to to improve on something you've already made.                                                                  Engineering shapes and structures like these help with dexterity, grasp, and coordination, no matter the age.  Their structure may shift and topple, but that will teach them to solve the structural problem. Enjoy!

Day 17        Tuesday,  April 7, 2020

Religion - Happy Tuesday!  Please pray Hail Mary, Our Father, Angel of God. Complete your LENT calendar.  Complete your worksheet p.168 (W is for WATER.) Jesus showed His apostles a miracle, by walking on water. What is a miracle?                                                  Lent is like springtime.It's a time for us to grow.  During LENT we grow in God's love. We pray and do good deeds. By Easter our hearts should be full of love.                                   At the Last Supper, which we celebrate on Holy Thursday, Jesus used the sharing of the bread and wine to make real his presence with us and for us in the Eucharist. Think of all the meals you share with your family and how you can make them a source of real presence to one another and a point of awareness of God's presence in your home.              On Good Friday, remember Jesus' great sacrifice for us. We need to do things for others, rather than ourselves as well.  So today, think of something wonderful you can do for someone you care about. Jesus will be very happy.

Reading - Practice your reading skills with i-Ready for 20 minutes.  Afterwards, review your Superkids vocabulary flashcards, as well as your Memory words(sight). Try to make sentences with the memory words, orally. Practice reading the story "The Hunt". Please talk about the story.

Trace and write letters to complete a pair of rhyming words that describes each picture. Read the rhyming words again. Take a piece of paper and make some more rhyming words.              In your JOURNAL, write a sentence using two rhyming words. Don't forget to draw a picture. 

Math - Practice your math skills with  i-Ready for 20 minutes. Afterwards, review your addition fact flashcards, and if your up to the challenge, review subtraction facts as well. Complete worksheet p.61 (order numbers to 12) and p.62 (identify and write 13 and 14).                                                                                                                                                                  Eureka Math - Review your lesson from yesterday. Proceed to the next lesson. Mod. 4-Lesson 12. Objective: Use 5-groups to represent the 5 + n pattern to 8. Make sure you have the materials ready for the teacher.  Take your time. When your done, please take a white board or paper and have your parent make up some story problems. Can you draw a number bond to go with your picture?  Example: 5 bees were buzzing around a tasty flower. 2 more bees joined them. How many all together? Draw a number bond. Make up a couple more.

Science - STEM project: Root Beer Floats-Step 1 -You will need vanilla ice cream, one can of root beer, clear mug or glass, little bowls to separate matter. Step 2 -Place  one scoop of ice cream in mug. Pour root beer on top. The reaction is immediate.  There are bubbles everywhere. We see ice cream float to the top. So what's happening?  All states of matter is represented.                                                                                                                          Root beer - liquid                        Ice cream - solid                       Carbon dioxide bubbles-gas Root beer is carbonated, so when it comes in contact with the ice cream, carbonated dioxide bubbles are released.  The liquid root beer helps free the air bubbles that are trapped in the solid ice cream.  That makes the ice cream float.  Float to the top!                                SOLID  ---------LIQUID-----------GAS

*Have a great day!!!!!

ATTENTION: Please make sure you are signing your attendance sheets everyday. I realize you will have to make an extension sheet, due to the situation.  Also, please feel free to contact me by way of email (slang@stpatriciaparish.com), to let me know how everything is going.

****Very Important Newsflash:

Dear Parents:    Please make sure you read Mrs. Nowinski's newsletter for this week.  Now that our Governor has established that we will not be returning this school year, you need to see the guidelines that Mrs. Nowinski has received from the Archdiocese of Chicago.  She will be addressing our schedule for this week as well as our grading system for the third trimester report cards.

Dear Parents:    Now that you have read Mrs. Nowinski's letter, you know we will be planning our lessons for four days - Monday through Thursday.  Friday will be for teacher meetings and lesson planning. Remember that this Thursday, April 23rd, we will have Rubbermaid bins to collect the packets that were assigned in the parking lot or by the school front door.  If this is not convenient, then please email me, on what your child has accomplished. You might want to send pictures.                                                            In regard to grades, Kindergarten will still use numbers 1-4. The third trimester grades will be written in. A copy will be sent to you and the other copy will be filed in the office. The teachers who have specials (P.E., Music, Computers, Art, Spanish) will email their grades. Your child's grades depend on the packet, previous observations and your email communications. If you have not emailed me, I suggest that it would be a good idea.  Thank you for your cooperation and support at this time. 

As far as supplies are concerned, you will get them back. We are working on some ideas on how to handle this concern.

Our graduation, will all depend on the rules of when we are allowed out in the world. 

I will be delivering a bag of school work to your house.(unless I see you Thursday) This next and final packet will not be due.  This is for their enrichment.  You will see worksheets and books. I am concerned that they follow Superkids, last booklet, X,Y,Z.   I will be using that last book. I will be using that with other sources until the end of the year. Remember, we must keep them motivated, so that they're ready for first grade. Keep up the wonderful work!!! 

ATTENTION KINDYs: According to Mrs. Ahern, tomorrow(Tuesday) is considered National Kindy Day!!! She would like us to take a picture and send it to her.  How about we take out a beach towel,.....some sunglasses,.....warm weather clothes, (sundress,shorts,sandals...).....and let's pretend we are at the beach!!! If it's ok with your parents, maybe take out some beach toys.   Parents, I hope  you don't mind this adventure. Could you please send a photo to JAhern@Stpatriciaparish.com or to the school's facebook page. This would be very much appreciated for spirit week. Don't forget beach hats as well!!! Be creative! Thank you so so much! We want to make others smile and happy  during this KINDY school spirit day!!!

Day 20         Tuesday, April 21st 

Religion - Please say a prayer before you start the day. Complete the last worksheet p. 171 (Z is for Zacchaeus.) If you read the Bible, Luke 19:5  you will understand the story of Zacchaeus with Jesus.     Since this is our last chapter of our Religion series, they talk about the subject of "New life comes through Jesus' death". Yes, this is a very sensitive subject. Help the children recall the resurrection of Jesus. We say, "He is Risen." This led to everlasting life. This is truly a mystery. But, we can talk very carefully, how this led to a new beginning. This new life can be expressed by talking about a butterfly. Have them draw a beautiful butterfly and nature all around it. What was this butterfly before it was that? What had to happen before it grew wings and could fly? You can talk about what happens to us before we can  have new life. Some day we will be happy with God forever in heaven. To live in heaven, we live in love now as Jesus did. When a seed becomes a flower, it turned into something more beautiful. This reminds us of Jesus' promise of new life in heaven. End this lesson with a short prayer:  "God, thank you for the promise of new life. You show me the path to new life!       Draw a symbol. A flower.

Reading - Practice your i-Ready skills for 15 minutes. Review your flashcards, especially your 4 word family rhyming words.

Reread.   1.Jill said to jump up.   2. Jack jumps.                                                                                                                           Complete p.32 in your Superkids Book- Matching pictures with word pairs.                           Read one of our Superkids stories for practice or choose one of your books.

My new bag of goodies will include worksheets and books. This material will be more enrichment. It won't be necessary to hand it in, but I would appreciate emails on their progress. You might want to use this for summer review as well.                                                                                                 I'm very excited that they will receive their final Superkids book  "X,Y,Z". After this booklet, we will continue reviewing various skills. You have been doing a wonderful job in instructing your child. I appreciate your support!

*ATTENTION KINDYs: According to Mrs. Ahern tomorrow is National Kindy Day! She would like us to take a picture and send it to her. How about we all take a beach towel out....maybe sunglasses.....dress in warm weather clothes and pretend we are at the beach?

This helper is called the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is Jesus' gift to us. When we say the words at Mass, "Peace be with you."; we are reminded that the Holy Spirit is with us. We are saying to our friends, that we care. If anyone is feeling sad, you may cheer them up by saying something kind. When we are troubled, we can pray to the Holy Spirit to strengthen us and bring us peace.  Say this verse,"The spirit of the Lord fills the whole world."

Religion - Let's start the day with the prayer the Our Father. Let's pray to the Holy Spirit. Review the lesson yesterday about Pentecost.   Today we're going to talk about Mary Our Mother in Heaven is Good. Mary became the mother of Jesus when she said yes to God. It was the time when the angel Gabriel visited her and told her that God wanted her to be the mother of his Son, Jesus. Jesus wants us all to love Mary as He did, for she is our mother too. Jesus loved his mother so much that he took her to heaven to be with Him forever.  We celebrate this day of Mary's joy on August 15th. It is called the Assumption.(It means she was taken up to heaven.) Mary is our Queen and our Mother. We show our love to her, by being like her Son. Show love to other people. Because May is Mary's month, we do special things for her. We can pray. We can pray the rosary. We can have a May crowning. That means you can make a little crown of flowers or a paper crown to place on her head. Bring a flower to your statue of Mary. Ask your parents to teach you the song Immaculate Mary. During the month of May, I will ask you to say 10 Hail Mary's a day. We will start on Friday.

Tell them that Hot Rod has given them boxes to fix up or make into anything they want. Ask them what they think the story is going to be about. Allow them to look at the pictures. That will give them some clues. Discuss with your child if they have ever fixed up a box. Have your child describe the picture and the top of page 6.  Explain that each pair of Superkids has hidden their box under a blanket, so that the rest of the Superkids can guess what the box looks like. Point out the small pictures at the bottom of the pages. Tell them that as they read the story, they will circle a picture that shows what they think the box looks like.  At the end of the story, they can check their answers with you.

Religion - Say a decade of Hail Mary's with someone from your family. It might be a nice idea to take out your rosary. You can use the ten beads as a guide. Today, take the time to learn more about your Rosary.  Saint Bernadette was visited by Mary (from heaven). This happened in 1885. Bernadette went to collect firewood for her family. Suddenly, Bernadette saw a beautiful lady standing in a grotto in the rocks above her. The lady, who was the Blessed Mother, asked her to keep returning. No one believed her story. During 18 visits, Bernadette was asked by Mary to do certain things. Mary told her to dig in the ground; she did and a spring of healing water came forth. Mary asked that a church be built on the site of the grotto. She asked that people pray for peace. Even today, people come to this site and become cured.  The Church has declared these activities to be miracles. As you pray, ask Mary to help you think of good things to do to show their love for Jesus.
