Good morning, Kindergarten!

I hope you were able to get to Google Drive on Friday so that you are ready to turn things into your Digital Portfolios. If not, be sure to go back to Friday's lesson and do that first thing! I hope you had a great weekend! Our Zoom class meeting will include a directed drawing lesson of a plant. Hope to see you there!

Today makes 131 days of Kindergarten!

Love,

Mrs. Bradley

Today, we're talking about GRATITUDE! What does gratitude mean? Do you know what it means to be grateful? Another way to say "grateful" is "thankful." Start by reading/watching The Thankful Book by Todd Parr. Now, I'd like you to play the "Gratitude Game." You will need 1 crayon or marker in each of the following colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue. Put all of the crayons or markers in a bag or cup where you can't see them, and get a piece of paper. Now, taking turns or on your own, pull 1 color out of the cup at a time. (Or you can use this spinner I made). Check the chart below to see what category you get, and answer the question by writing your response. Put the crayon or marker back in the cup and do it again. Play for awhile or until you run out of ideas! There are so many things in life to be thankful for!

RED: Write the name of a PERSON you're grateful for

ORANGE: Write a PLACE you're grateful for

YELLOW: Write a FOOD you're grateful for

GREEN: Write a THING you're grateful for

BLUE: Write ANYTHING of your choice that you're grateful for!

See Mrs. Bradley's Gratitude Game results to the left!

Estimate: 10 minutes

This week, we're going to write a "How To" book explaining How to Plant a Seed. Today your job is research! If you have the opportunity, go outside and plant a real seed! If not, choose one or more of these videos to learn more about the process. Think about the steps and what order they occur. You do not need to write anything down today.

• How To Plant a Seed Video

• We Plant a Seed

Estimate: 10 minutes

So far, we've learned about the parts of the plant and their functions (or their jobs). Today, I would like you to watch this video on BrainPop Jr. to learn about the life cycle of a plant.
