First Grade Spirit Week -- Fill a Bucket Wednesday!
Optional: Looking for more ways on how to be kind for our Spirit Day today?
- Check out Week 2 Day 9 Empathy and Kindness
- https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/support/learnathome/grades-1-2-week-2.html
- Epic Books -- Building Character: Showing Kindness ( I put one in your assigned books, but you can read any book on this topic.)
- People celebrate special days in different ways. Today, you are going to read a story about the Moon Festival. At the Moon Festival, children celebrate the bright moon. The moon's light is high in the sky. Let's find out how they celebrate the moon!
- Read the story, The Lady in the Moon, in your reading textbook on pages 102-119.
- Read the story a second time quietly while you listen to the story being read to you. Turn the page when you hear the chime, just like when we do in school. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51ntwLjJi7E
- The Lady in the Moon questions (3 pages in Wednesday email)
- The Lady and the Moon writing page: What could be another title for the story? What is the story mostly about? Draw a picture to show the main idea. (page in Wednesday email)
Spelling: Here are 2 activities --- choose one or do both.
- Use letters cut from a newspaper or magazine to make your spelling words.
- April Showers -- write your spelling words inside raindrops that you draw.
Math:
- What happens in the morning, afternoon, and evening? Listen to me explain. https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/ordering-events/52884864/?s=UByzlZ&ref=appemail
- "When Do You?" (worksheet in Wednesday email) -- cut out and sort the pictures of when you do the activities listed at the bottom of the page. After you have sorted them into Morning/Afternoon/Evening, you can glue them in the correct place.
- Set timer for one minute and sit quietly until the timer goes off. One hour is MUCH longer than a minute. Play this link as I explain this to you. https://www.educreations.com/lesson/view/estimate-time/52885199/?s=JdXeZd&ref=appemail
- "Hours and Minutes"(worksheet in Wednesday email) -- Cut out the pictures on the side of the paper. Decide whether it would take you an hour to do the activity or a minute. Sort and glue the pictures in the correct place.
Religion:
- During Easter we celebrate that Jesus rose to new life. We say or sing the word Alleluia with great joy during this time.
- Make a banner with the word Alleluia on it. Decorate the banner with signs of new life (these could be from what you saw on your walk on Monday).
- Close your eyes: imagine that you are meeting Jesus in the garden after he rose to new life. I want you to take a minute and tell Jesus what is in your heart.
