Good Morning First Graders,

Today is the 130th day of school!! You know what that means.....we get to do our bundle song. Let me hear you sing it.....bundle, bundle, bundle....How many ones, tens, and hundreds is in the number 130? That's right...in the number 130....it is 0 ones, 3 tens, and 1 hundreds.

Here is a little review video for you on place value and bundling:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24ZVly-n6G8

Reading:

• In your reading textbook, please read the story "Mister Bones: Dinosaur Hunter" on pages 76-91.
• Read the story a second time in your head while listening along to the story being read to you. Turn the page every time you hear the chime, just like in school. Use the following link.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3oMmqz3nHc
• Answer questions about the story. You will find these questions in your "Mister Bones: Dinosaur Hunter" reading packet. It is 2 pages stapled with 3 sections that are called: High frequency words, Comprehension, and Directions to answer 2 questions using complete sentences. 
• Practice book page 87 (pick a word to finish each sentence)
• https://jr.brainpop.com/science/land/fossils/   Username: firstgradenovak   Password: novak1  Watch link about fossils. Take easy and hard quiz. Then, write 3 sentences of what you learned about fossils. Parents, please email me your child's sentences.

Spelling:

• Do page 83 Long o: oa, ow (write the missing list word).
• Write a sentence for each word. Parents, please email me your child's sentences.

Math:

• Do XtraMath for 30 minutes. I will be tracking your progress and can see what you did.  https://xtramath.org/#/home/index   Login information is in your folder. Practice those math facts!! 

Religion:

• Pope Francis has written a special prayer to the Blessed Mother asking for her help with the whole world as we all deal with  the terrible Corona Virus together. On this link is a special picture of Mary to go along with the prayer. Download the picture to color and pray with your family. We are all in this together, let's ask God and Mary to continue to watch over and protect us all.  https://www.catholicartworks.com/specials.htm

Science:

• Today, you are going to learn about clouds. Clouds are made up of tiny drops of water or ice. There are 3 types of clouds. They are called cumulus, stratus, and cirrus. 
• Watch these two videos to learn more about them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCumUup9vWQ


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDGsGGcYPPE

• Epic Books has quite a few books about clouds. Check them out!

• Can you read the sky? I would like you to be a cloud watcher and go outside to see what kinds of clouds you see in the sky! When you are done, draw and label a picture of the type of clouds that you see in the sky.

Cirrus Clouds – High, curly, wispy, feathery white clouds made of ice and usually found on fair days. Some people think they look like " a horse's tail". That's what their name Cirrus means, "horse's tail". Cirrus clouds usually mean good weather.

Stratus Clouds – Layered grey clouds that block the sun, sometimes covering the whole sky and may bring rain or snow. These clouds are very close to the ground. Stratus clouds often mean that rain is coming.

Cumulus Clouds – Low hanging, white, puffy clouds which change shape very quickly and are found on warm, sunny days. They remind me of cotton balls. Do you think the cumulus clouds are shaped like anything? 

Enjoy being a Wednesday Weather Watcher!

Please update your attendance everyday. Thank you parents for everything that you do!!

https://forms.gle/qj2NEGy7zm9Mc1Mg7

Hello First Graders!! I hope you had a nice weekend with your family! Here is your work for today:

Reading:

• Our question of the week is "What treasures can we find in the earth?" Think about that. What do you think we can find in the earth?
•  This week we will be working on the story called "Mister Bones". You will find the reading pages and worksheets in the paper clip under that heading. 
• Words that have the letters -oa and -ow in them, make the long o sound. Read these words: road, toad, low, flow. You will see a lot of words like this during the week.
• Do Pages 83 & 84
• Read a book, Raz Kids or Epic Books for 30 minutes. 

Spelling:

• The spelling words for this week are: boat, road, snow, row, yellow, loaf, coat, soap, blow, pillow, once and wild.
• Do page 77 - where you will write each spelling word 2 times each. (This page is not in the paper clipped Reading Mister Bones section. It is where last weeks spelling pages were).
• Spelling Word Sort/Dinosaur Hunter Search worksheet.(You will find that in the Mister Bones packet)

Writing:

• What are some things you do when it's raining? Write your answer in complete sentences in your writing journal packet. Draw a picture to go with it.

Math:

• Remember that a quarter is worth 25 cents, a dime is worth 10 cents, a nickel is worth 5 cents and a penny is worth 1 cent. The easiest way to add money is to group coins together that are the same and then put your coins from the largest amount to the smallest amount. So....a quarter goes first, then dime, nickel and penny.

• Log In to Brain Pop Jr. https://jr.brainpop.com/ Username is firstgradenovak. Password is novak1. In search box type in "Saving and Spending". You will see that they talk a lot about spending your money on needs and wants. We already know about needs and wants....let's find out about buying them with our money!
• Do workbook pages 367-368

Religion:

• Let's do the next "Lenten Prayer Chain piece". It is " Pray for world political and religious leaders." Please say one decade of the rosary which is 1 Our Father and 10 Hail Mary's.

Science:

• Today, we are going to talk about temperature. What is temperature? Does the temperature change throughout the day?
• Log In to Brain Pop Jr. https://jr.brainpop.com/ Username is firstgradenovak and Password is novak1. Watch episode on temperature.
• The colors on a thermometer shows how hot or cold the temperature is. Your mom and dad take your temperature when you are sick. We can also find out the temperature of the weather outside. The colored line is higher on the thermometer in the warmer weather and lower in the cooler weather. So, the thermometer that is red is showing that it is very hot. The thermometer in blue is showing that it is cold.

• Check the temperature outside 3 times today (if you don't have a thermometer, you can ask your parents to look it up on their phone or computer): first thing this morning, in the middle of the day, and then right before dinner time. Did the temperature change? When was it the coldest? When was it the warmest? (***If you can't do it today, do it another day  this week.***)
• Read assigned Epic Book "Hot or Cold". Write at least 2 sentences on what you learned today about thermometers and temperature.

We would normally have Art Class today in school. Please go to Miss Viggiano's blog to see about a special project she would like you to do today. http://stsartclass.blogspot.com/

You have 36 cents.
