Good Morning, 1A!

Today is catch up and enrichment Friday!

Please check emails for any missing work and all quizzes and tests. Grades are due by May 27th.

Looking for Rainy day activities.

I found two neat websites to share.

Switcheroo Zoo: www.switcheroozoo.com (watch, listen, and play games to learn about amazing animals)

Into the Book: www.reading.ecb.org (Go into the books that practice reading strategies that help students become stronger reading)

Star Fall www.starfall.com (Practice your phonic skills with these read along stories)

Outside/Indoor Activities:

Beach volleyball

How it works: Playing volleyball with an inflatable beach ball is another worthwhile activity, says Cara Koscinski, pediatric therapist and author of The Pocket Occupational Therapist. You can also simply throw the ball high in the air for your kids to catch if they are too young to play an organized game. Challenge them to count how many times they can clap before catching it! (Hint: If they have trouble gripping the ball, simply deflate it a bit.)

How it promotes learning: You can probably guess that this game teaches counting and social interaction skills. Koscinski explains that catching a ball using both hands also teaches bilateral integration, a necessary skill for learning tasks such as cutting, buttoning and tying shoes.

Pool noodle obstacle course

How it works: Get creative with pool noodles and design an obstacle course. Lay them on the ground, cut them in half, attach them to a fence or hang them from a branch. Challenge your kids to jump over them, limbo under them, crawl around them or walk on them like a balance beam.

How it promotes learning: Getting up and moving helps kids build core muscle strength. Koscinksi explains that this will later be used for completing school tasks seated at the desk.

Today is Enrichment Friday and catch up day. Zoom at noon for girls. Last week was boys Lego building, this week is girls Tea Party!

I have sent Reading Tests through email and will be sending Spelling Tests shortly. Please try to have these finished by Monday evening. Also please make sure you submit any work requested through email. You can take a picture of work or scan it. Below are Three Enrichment ideas for you and your children.

Have a wonderful weekend!

1. Story Mapping

Have your child draw a story map (a diagram that shows the events of a story in order of occurrence) to help him sequence the beginning, middle and end of a story. Sequencing is the ability to see the order of events, which helps reading comprehension.

What you’ll need:

• A book to read aloud

• Drawing paper

• Art materials such as crayons, markers and paints

Here’s How To Do It

Choose a book to read aloud with your child. Before reading, tell your child to think about the events of the story. After reading, discuss with your child what happens in the beginning, middle and end of the story. You can revisit the story with your child to gather information; try looking at the pictures or rereading passages. On paper have your child draw or paint the three events in order with an arrow between each drawing to represent the sequence of events. This is often called a “story map” in elementary classrooms. Your child can also write or dictate to you captions under each drawing or painting.

Review fractions with your child with this fun food activity.

What you’ll need:

• A book about fractions

• A pizza or tortilla

• A knife to cut the food (optional)

• Food toppings (optional)

2. Food Fractions

Read a book about fractions such as Eating Fractions by Bruce Mcmillan, Ed Emberley’s Picture Pie: A Circle Drawing Book by Ed Emberley, Fraction Action by Loreen Leedy, Give Me Half by Stuart J. Murphy or Hershey’s Fractions by Jerry Pallotta.

Then take a tortilla or pizza and have your child show you one-quarter, one-half and three-quarters either by breaking it apart or cutting or decorating the food with toppings. For example, you could have your child add pizza sauce to one-quarter, then half, then three-quarters, then the whole pizza. Then add fractional amounts of cheese and other toppings.

3. Living and Non-living Activity

What You’ll Need

• Paper

• Pen or pencil

• Clipboard (optional)

Here’s how to do it

Tell your child you’ll be exploring living things and nonliving objects. Explain that in science “living” refers to anything that is, or has ever been, alive (log, cat, plant). “Nonliving objects” include anything that is not now, nor has ever been, alive (car, computer, rock). Explain that living things need food, water, space and shelter to survive.

With your child, brainstorm a list of living things and nonliving objects. Discuss what the differences are between them. On a piece of paper write the headings Living and Nonliving. Walk inside and outdoors to find living things and nonliving objects. Have your child decide which category to place each one in and jot them down on the paper.

Religion: Teaching Children About the Resurrection

Why is the resurrection important?

Jesus Redeemed us: Jesus was the ultimate, perfect, sinless sacrifice that paid the price for all sins – present, past, and future. His death gave us a clean slate and washed us clean.

Jesus reconciled us to God: With our sins forgiven, we are able to enter into a right relationship as sons and daughters of our father in heaven.

Jesus restored us: Without sin hanging over us, Jesus healed us from the brokenness of sin. As we get closer to God, we are restored to wholeness, and our lives are marked by grace and love (Explore ways we grow closer to God). This process makes us able to see and work toward the purpose for which we were created. Our job is to go out and spread the message of Jesus!

Attached you will find a craft I would try to do in the classroom...having them list 5 ways they continue to grow with God, showing that Jesus is alive!

As we forgive those who trespass against us

Tell students that when they pray these words, they should remember that we are to ask God for forgiveness, and Jesus wants us to forgive others : It is not always easy to forgive people who have hurt us. It is at this time that the Holy Spirit helps us. Read pgs. 226-227; stressing that Jesus forgave others. He wants his followers to do the same. Conclude: What do we receive in the sacrament of Reconciliation? (God's forgiveness and God's peace) How can we share God's peace with others? (We share God's peace by being loving and forgiving)

Religion: Reconciliation Is the sacrament we receive and celebrate God's Forgiveness. Object Lessons on God’s Love and Forgiveness

God’s love can soften the hardest heart (This is a lesson I would have done in class to go along with Reconciling our hearts...please read lesson and try ...there is preplanning)

Perhaps you think you’ve sinned too much, and God could never forgive you. Maybe you have a friend to whom you’ve spoken about Jesus, but her heart is as hard as stone and she doesn’t want to ask Him for forgiveness and trust Him for salvation. Luckily for us, God’s love is so powerful, it can turn “hearts of stone” into “hearts of flesh”. Before you perform this experiment, share this verse with your students:

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26)

Perhaps it’s hard for your students to imagine how God could change a person’s heart. No worries– here’s a way to show them! Here’s what you’ll need:

Materials Needed:

2 eggs

vinegar

a glass

Directions:

A day or two before you are going to teach your Sunday School lesson, you’ll need to place one of the eggs into the glass, and fill it with vinegar. Let the egg sit in the vinegar. After 24 hours, it should be soft and yellowish. Rinse it off and bring it to class with the other egg. Show the students the hard egg and let them touch it. (You can boil it to avoid it breaking and making a mess in your class.) Ask them if there is any way to make this hard egg shell soft. Then, rinse off the softened egg and let the kids touch it and even bounce it on the table. Explain that this egg spent 24 hours in vinegar, which “magically” made it soft! When God’s love surrounds us, like the vinegar covered the egg, we can’t help but come out completely changed. His love softens even the hardest of hearts!

Science: Will forward lab from Mrs. Young; will be attached to March 30th lesson plans in email

Art: View Mrs. Frey's website, in same email as Science!

DOL: Lesson 6 (indicated at top of page with 6); Monday only

Science: weather journal in blue folder: daily pictures by observing (about 10 minutes; same as past 2 days) Experiement at home: (optional)

. Reflect a rainbow.

What you need: Glass of water, sheet of white paper, sunlight.

What to do: Fill the glass all the way to the top with water. Put the glass of water on a table so that it is half on the table and half off the table (make sure that the glass doesn’t fall!) Then, make sure that the sun can shine through the glass of water. Next, place the white sheet of paper on the floor. Adjust the piece of paper and the glass of water until a rainbow forms on the paper.

How does this happen? Explain to students that light is made up of many colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When light passes through the water, it is broken up into all of the colors seen in a rainbow.

If you would like: Record and share!

Religion: Talk with your children about how Jesus and his teachings are the way of the world. All week have your child look through any old magazines and make a collage of ways people are spreading the light of Christ. (Help students reflect on ways they have followed or not followed Jesus...Help students to focus on how the holy spirit guides us to learn to) After discussion have students fold paper into fourths and illustrate 2 ways they followed Jesus, 2 ways they did not (sentence on how they can do what is right and clean up mistakes)-helping them understand that God is always willing to forgive and seeking forgiveness is what helps us grow.

Good Discussion Starter for Students: For Lent, it is good to CLEAR OUT the things in our lives that we don’t really need—things that get in the way of following Jesus. For example, maybe you watch TV or play video games a lot. Why not put them away for a while and use that extra time to pray.

For Lent, it is good to ask ourselves, “Have I made any mistakes or messes that I need to clean up? Do I need to apologize to someone for something I said or did? Do I need to ask God to forgive me?

Students would normally have Guidance, Library, and Spanish! (Mrs. Lutter posted her work on her virtual page...Senora Dee put a Spanish packet in student's folder)

Religion: Read about St. Patrick;

St. Patrick was a missionary to Ireland in the 5th century. There are many legends and tales about how he brought Christianity to the island including how he used the shamrock to explain the Christian trinity. It is believed he died on March 17, 461.

Hundreds of years later, around the 9th century, people in Ireland began celebrating the Feast of St. Patrick on March 17th each year. This holiday continued as a serious religious holiday in Ireland for hundreds of years.

In the 1700s the holiday began to become popular with Irish-Americans wanting to celebrate their heritage. The first St. Patrick's Day parade was held on March 17, 1762 in New York City.

Fun Facts About Saint Patrick's Day

It was named the "Friendliest Day of the Year" by the Guinness Book of World Records.

Legend has it that St. Patrick stood on a hill in Ireland and banished all the snakes from the island.

The fountain in front of the White House is sometimes dyed green in honor of the day.

Other names for the holiday include the Feast of St. Patrick, St. Paddy's Day, and St. Patty's Day.

In 1991 March was proclaimed Irish-American Heritage Month in the United States.

Around 150,000 people participate in the New York City parade.

The streets of downtown Rolla, Missouri are painted green for the day.

According to the 2003 census, there are 34 million Irish-Americans. Nineteen presidents of the United States claim to have some Irish heritage.

HW: at least 2 workbook pages; I do not have a teacher handbook for this, so just have students practice 2 pages per day. (10 -15 minutes focus on students starting at top and forming letters correctly)

Note: Students would normally have Computers and PE tomorrow. Be sure to check Ms. Zorn's site and Mr. McGarr's too!
