April 6th - 9th, 2020!

Home Learning April 6^th – 10^th, 2020

**Each task is designed to take about 30 minutes – giving you five hours of total work per week (this week will only have four hours, since Friday is a holiday).**

** All of these activities can be done using things you have around your house – should you need anything to help you with your at home learning, please email me and I will see how I can best help you!**

**Here is a Tutorial Video on how to help your child learn and grow: **

Learning Objectives:

·      Literacy:

-       Students will be able to discuss events of personal significance.

-       Students will be able to identify and name colours.

·      Math:

-       Students will be able to use subitizing skills to recognize numbers 1-10.

-       Students will begin learning about measurements – height.

Guiding Questions:

·      Literacy:

-       What have you been doing since we have not been in in school? What was your favourite part about being at home?

·      Math:

-       Can you tell me what each number is just by quickly looking at it? (I will upload a video of a game to play to practice subitizing)

-       Can you arrange these items in a line by height, shortest to tallest?

Literacy	Math
Materials Needed: -       Something to write with (ie. pencil or pen) -       Paper Task One:            -   Please watch this Instruction Video -       Draw (not colour) a picture of what you have been doing since you’ve been at home. Label three things in this picture – try to sound out the words to write them down or have an adult write them down on a separate piece of paper so you can copy it on your own paper. Make sure to use WOW drawing, not Meh drawing! Helpful questions to guide learning: -       What has been your favourite thing to do at home? -       What is your favourite food to eat at home? -       What is your favourite time of the day? -       What activity makes you feel happy? -       Who has been your favourite person to hang out with? What do you do together?	Materials Needed: -       Technology -       Miscellaneous items you may have around the house – whatever you have will work! (ie. Lego/small toys/pieces of torn up paper/handful of cereal/cards/puzzle pieces/etc) -       Pencil and paper Task One: -       Watch my video of our new math game, “BOOM!” (Also, here is the faster version of the game!) -       Play the game using the video -       Play the game with someone at home – create piles of different numbers of manipulatives (just like in the picture example), the player will point to a pile of their choosing and the student calls out what number it is. When the other player points to the BOOM card the student jumps up and says BOOM! Helpful questions to guide learning: -       How many are there here? -       Are there _____ here? (if they are unsure, encourage them to count and then try again) -       If I take one away, how many will there be? -       If I add another one, how many will there be?
Materials Needed: -       Picture you drew yesterday -       Something to colour with (markers/pencil crayons/crayons) Task Two: -       Please watch this read aloud video.Tell an adult your favourite colours and least favourite colours. What colours were sad in the book we just read? Why were they sad? Pick out your THREE favourite colours and One colour that was sad in the book we read. Colour your picture from yesterday using ONLY these colours – it’s okay that it may not be realistic. Helpful questions to guide learning: -       What are your favourite colours? -       What colours were happy in the book? What colours were sad in the book? -       How do you think you could make the sad colours feel better? -       How can you use one of the sad colours in your picture?	Materials Needed: -       Math Scavenger Hunt Task Two: -    Math Scavenger Hunt – Go around the house and find the things on the scavenger hunt list. As you find each item on your list, make sure you are answering the questions on the scavenger hunt - if you would like to ask an adult to help you write down your answers, you can - but this is not mandatory. Helpful questions to guide learning: -       How many _____ do you have? -       How many items do you have all together? Count them all. -       If I take away one/add one how many would there be?
Materials Needed: -       Rainbow Scavenger Hunt -       Household items -       Paper and something to write with Task Three: -       Look around your house or yard for the things of the scavenger hunt, and when you get to the ones that ask you to “Name _____”, ask someone to help you write down the name of the things you found, then take a picture and send it to Ms. Brinson. Ask someone to help you take a picture of all of the things you found at the end of the scavenger hunt, and send that to Ms. Brinson as well. Helpful questions to guide learning: -       Can you name these colours for me? -       Do you think that ______ (name an area of the house that may have an item of that colour) might have something that colour? -       Can you find another thing that is that colour in a different room? -       Find something that is the correct colour they are looking for and ask “do you think you can find something that is coloured just like this?”	Materials Needed: -       Household items Task Three: -    Please watch this instruction video. -       Go to your room and grab 8 toys/stuffed animals (alternatively go to the kitchen and get out 8 cups or water bottles), then arrange these items from SHORTEST to TALLEST. Double check your arrangement – are they all in the right order? -       Take a picture of your arrangement and send it to Ms. Brinson Helpful questions to guide learning: -       Is this shorter than or taller than the item that I am holding? (Hold up one of the items they chose) -       If I move this item will they still be in the right order? -       How do you know that is shorter than the thing beside it?
Materials Needed: -       Paper -       Colouring Supplies (crayons/pencil crayone/whatever you have available at home) -       Pencil Task Four: -       This week we have learned all about colours and we have talked about the things that are important to us and our experiences! Today I would like you to draw a picture of your own imaginary world (a world where anything you want can be in it, because its all from your creative imagination) and then use all of the colours of the rainbow to colour it. Just like the imaginary world at the end of the book we read for the last activity. -       Then ask an adult to help you write the sentence “My favourite part of my imaginary world is ________!” Helpful questions to guide learning: -       What type of stores would you like to have in your imaginary world? -       Does your imaginary world have community helpers like police or doctors? -       What do the people eat in your imaginary world? -       What would your house look like in your own world? -       Who would be in your imaginary world with you? -       What would your world be called?	Materials Needed: -       Household items Task Four: -       Ask someone to help you by getting 10 items from around the house for you – some big and some small. When they get all these items put them into a big pile all together – then sort the items into a BIG pile, or a SMALL pile. See an example here: -       For an extra challenge, after you’re done making your big and small piles, put all of the items back into a pile and then sort them from TALLEST to SHORTEST kind of like you did before! Helpful questions to guide learning: -       If I hold up these two items together, does one look smaller than the other or do they look almost the same? If they look they same do you think they are big or small? -       Can you point to something BIG around the house? -       Can you point to something SMALL around the house? -       How do you decide if something is big or small?

Thanks everyone, and as always if you have anything you need, please let me know!
