Spelling List here (2 weeks)
Superkids - We will read Zoo Clue together on Meets at 10am.
Student Book page 10. Cut and sort books into correct genre.
Writing - Since we have a short week, we will but working on some riddles. Just like in the story Zoo Clues, the children will choose an animal (in their mind) and write 3 clues about it. There are examples throughout the story but one would be:
1. I am soft and brown.
2. I have floppy ears.
3. I can hop.
What animal am I?
They can use their lined writing paper (from writing tablet) for this. I like them to think of describing words (color, texture, where they live, what they do) to use in their clues. They can share with family to see if they can guess the animal.
We will write one a day this week and share one on Wednesday when we meet.
Math - Today is the Check your Progress Quiz p. 587-588. (Measurement)
Before they do this, I thought they could have some fun with a measurement Scavenger Hunt. Click here to see/print it. One page has them using a ruler and measuring in inches, the other page they are using cubes. I'd like them to use a ruler, since we haven't used them yet. They can work on that page.

It was much easier when we had manipulatives and could take the orange one cubes away and replace it with a ten. Children always learn better when they are using a hands on strategy.
Religion - Read Lesson 17 - The Best Gift of All
Read about The Last Supper. Students may work on pages 65-68
Science - Mystery Science - How Do Magicians Trick People?
This is a spring activity that students can try and have fun with.

Superkids Progress test online. (More Progress Test 3)
If your child has not taken the Superkids Progress Test 3 on the Superkids website, please have them take it. I see that only 4 students took it. I wish I could link it here, but it will not allow me.
Please refer to the email that was sent out a few weeks ago. Once you set up a profile for your child through that link, you should be taken right to the test. There are also a lot of fun activities for the children to do.

Journal writing - Tell me about your weekend
SuperKids
New spelling list can be found here. We will be working Unit 7 for 2 weeks.
Students will begin working in the More Adventures of the Superkids Student book Units 7-8. It shows Hot Rod playing clarinet on the cover.
They may put their name on the cover. I always ask the children what they think is happening on the cover (these are always taken from a story in book.)
On Student Book page 1, they introduce some of our new spelling words. For the next 2 weeks we will be working on tricker words: ar, or, ear. Despite being spelled differently, they all have the same sound (er).
**Directions are always on the side of the pages to read to the children.**
Page 2 - Practice decoding trickers.
Page 3 - Find Tricker words in the invitation.
I will be reading Slumber Party to the children today at 10am on ZOOM.
Writing - Today students will design a party invitation that they will host. They can choose any type of party they would like (Birthday, Pool, Halloween, etc)
I have them set it up like you would an invitation. (Example below)
What : Halloween Party
When: October 31, 2020 at 7pm
Where: Mrs. Bonsignore's House
(address)
What to bring: wear a costume and bring a spooky treat
RSVP: _________________
They can decorate it when they are finished.
Math - Today we will begin Chapter 6 - Two Digit Addition and Subtraction
Am I Ready? p. 441-446 We do these together.
Lesson 1 Add Tens p.447
Use ten sticks to model. Feel free to use something around the house to represent tens (popsicle sticks, straws, etc).
I always review tens and ones with the children. You may want a poster up showing tens / ones columns. I've attached an example here.
I also usually staple each lesson together. You can do this as well to keep things organized when the children are finished. Homework can be included as well.
Science
Today in Mystery Science the children will be doing a read along called Why Do Baby Ducks Follow their Mother? Click here to read it. Students can listen and follow along with Doug. There are parts in the story where you can discuss with your child.
Have a great day!!

March Journal (last day!)
Superkids
Read Slumber Party together. You can read online as well if you are logged on to Superkids (parent portal).
Questions to ask throughout:
Who are the characters? Setting?
What was the problem in in the story? Solution?
Ask children if they thought is was nice of Tic to tell a scary story?
How did Lily feel?
What made her feel better?
Superkids Student book p. 4Writing- Talk about fears/things people are afraid of (storms, spiders, getting lost, etc). Students will write what they are afraid of and what could make them feel better. Students can use the writing paper with the lines on the bottom and room for the picture on top. Click here for a printable.
Math - Chapter 6 Lesson 2
Count on Tens and Ones p.453-458
This lesson can be a bit confusing as many problems are written horizonally rather than vertically. I would show them both ways. For example, it the problem is written vertically, students can underline the number in the ones place red and the number in the tens place blue. They will help them add. If we were in class I would have them write the same problem vertically (like we are used to doing!) on a dry erase board or paper. This will teach them to line the numbers up correctly.
Religion - Students can watch this video about Lent then work on this page.

Writing - Today we will work on story writing. I am sharing the pdf file of the Build a Story Writing Center that I had started to use with the class before we left. I included a few blank templates with their things. This link should include writing paper as well as pictures that can be used as characters/setting/events. We also cut some out of magazines to use as well (this is a good activity for students to do independently). We then labeled them. Put them into 3 categories. I used a pocketchart. See this picture from last year as a visual.
Math - Chapter 6 Lesson 3 Add Tens and Ones
p. 459 - 464
Please remind students to always add the ones column first!
Science - Mystery Science
Why are Polar Bears white?
Students are always able to do the hands on activity. It is not mandatory of course, since not everyone can print the pages. Have children do what they can. Just discussing the video throughout will help understanding.
Today in their Science Journal they can put the date and answer the question, "Why do you think camouflage is helpful to some animals?"

_______________________________________________
Week of March 23, 2020
Spelling word list here!
TUESDAY
Journal Writing in their March Journal - Choose a prompt and write a paragraph. Remember to use capital letters to start sentences and proper endmarks. Draw a picture to show your writing.
SuperKids
Today (and this week) we will be working on the second story of Unit 6, The Lost Mitt.
** If you signed up on the link sent via email, you may need to explore the site. It is not letting me directly put the link here!
Have children turn to page 85 in their SuperKids reader to review their oi and oy words. (as well as the memory words in the white banner)
Read the title on page 101 and make sure your child knows what a mitt is. Then ask what they think the story will be about (make predictions.)
I hope to be able to video myself reading the story to them and posting it soon.
But at this time please read the story to your child, asking questions throughout.
Discuss problem and solution at the end. Children will be working on this skill tomorrow.
Discuss why it is important to tell the truth. Ask children why they think it's hard to tell the truth sometimes.
Students will work on page 24 in their Superkids workbooks to check comprehension.
Writing
Today we will be doing sentence dictation. I tried to give everyone a writing tablet so please use that if you have it. Children will listen as you say the sentence, and do their best to write it. Remind them to use capital letters and end marks. They will do their best with their spelling. We will be using memory words as well as oi and oy words so those should be spelled correctly.
I usually repeat the sentences about 5 times.
1. The boy hit the ball right at her mitt.
2. The girl was very kind to her friends.
3. We buy a lot of cookies.
4. Can you find the missing book?
5. Do you want to join the team?
Math
Chapter 5 Lesson 12
Numbers to 120
I wish that the children could use the manipulatives I have in the classroom, but we will have to make due. You can print a workmat to show hundreds, tens and ones or make one dividing the paper into 3 sections. We use a clear work mat in the classroom. A small dry erase board is good to have because you can use it for everything.
I also suggest printing out a 120 chart online so they have a visual. Click here for 120 charts.
ScienceWe have been doing STREAM in the classroom with Kindergarten. Because of our online learning, we unfortunately will not be able to do that because it is a lot of hands on.
I have decided to use a website that the children and I have used in the classroom and enjoy greatly. It is called Mystery Science. It is a fun, educational website and now offers free online access for all!
Click here to access their website. Each day we will choose a new video to watch and discuss. I did send home their science journals (we just started them so they only have a diagram of a plant in them. We will be using these moving forward.
Today we will being using the lesson Why Do Baby Animals Looks So Cute?
Click here to watch and learn.
After watching and discussing with your child, they can use their notebooks to draw and label their favorite baby animal. Please have them put the date at the top. Thank you so much!

I made copies and put them with the childrens packets that were picked up over the weekend, so you should have a couple. I made them bigger so the children had more room to write.
