Suggestions for Week of June 8th to June 12th There is another suggestion from ASD_N on the last page. Lots of fun activities about sinking and floating. Do you think you could build something that could float? This week’s from ASD - N has some great Summer suggestions as well! It is not necessary to do both suggestions. You might like the Language art writing activity about the stick but want to do the math from ASD -S that’s ok. Mix and match. Language Arts Butterlies – Another insect that is important for our Planet. Listen and find out just how important they are. 1. This is a fantastic non fiction book. I even learned 2 amazing facts about these insects that I did not know. What new things will you learn? The Amazing Life Cycle of Butterflies Book by Kay Barnham https://safeYouTube.net/w/b8jK Science Kid video ( listen carefully.. Squeaks’s partner Jessi, talks really fast. ) Butterflies https://safeYouTube.net/w/MLjK Writing and Art How to draw a Butterfly https://artprojectsforkids.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Draw-a-Butterfly.pdf Writing Choose 1 or 2nd idea. 1. Now we will do a report about Butterflies . Take a picture of your writing and have mom or dad e-mail it to me at [email protected] Example, Worms Opening sentence Not everyone likes worms. They are very helpful creatures. There are 4 common types of earthworms: night crawlers, garden worms, manure worms, and red worms. Worms dig through the soil creating burrows or tunnels that help air and water get to the roots of plants. They eat leaves, grass and even dirt. As this materials passes through their bodies it becomes fertilizer. Closing sentence. Farmers and Gardeners know that seeing worms in the soil means the soil is very healthy. 2. Maybe you would like to pretend you are a butterfly! If I were a butterfly Write a story about where would you go. What would you see? Did you have an adventure?
Math This is another fun activity put together by our district math mentors! This activity will allow students explore and extend patterns Learning Activity: describing, extending, and creating patterns. Where do you see a repeating pattern in your home? What makes it a pattern? What patterns do you see on someone’s clothing? (could be your own) o Describe a time when you heard a pattern. (Sample Response: I hear a pattern in the song “We Will Rock You”: it goes stomp-stomp-clap, repeated.) o Describe some increasing patterns that you have noticed in your home or outside. o How might you arrange library books on a shelf to make a pattern? (Sample Response: I could arrange them in a repeating pattern that goes thin book, thick book; OR I could make an increasing pattern by arranging the books from shortest to tallest). Practice: Pattern Time! O Create a short dance (or series of actions) that includes a pattern. Show it to a family member or friend. Ask them to guess your repeating pattern. O Choose a coin worth less than a dollar. Show or draw a handful of those coins. Skip count to figure out the value of the coins and write down the numbers that you say. What patterns do you see or hear? If needed, use the 0-99 chart . o Choose a number less than 50. Keep adding 10 until you have a total of 5 numbers. What pattern do you notice? If needed, use the 0-99 chart. o Choose a number greater than 50. Keep adding 2 to that number until you have a total of 10 numbers. Record the numbers. Do this two or more times starting with different numbers. What do you notice about each set of numbers? If needed, use the 0-99 chart. THIS IS ANOTHER IDEA FOR ACTIVITES FOR THE WEEK Covers a little bit of everything This is a fun all-inclusive activity from ASD – N about sinking and floating-- This looks VERY FUN! http://stemnorth.nbed.nb.ca/sites/stemnorth.nbed.nb.ca/files/doc//y2020/May/asdn_weekly_steam_issue_10.pdf

Language Arts Not everyone is a fan of Bees! They are very important for life here On Earth. Listen and find out just how important they are. There are some questions at the end. Write your answers in one of the scribblers I sent home and have mom or dad or grandmother or grandfather or aunt or uncle or sister or brother take a picture and send me your answers. What If there were No Bees by Suzanne Slade https://safeYouTube.net/w/0wPI This is a great non – fiction about bees and what goes on in the hive. I really enjoyed. Bees and Their Hives by Linda Tagliaferro https://safeYouTube.net/w/VZOI 3. Cute story. Did it remind you of another story? The Greedy Bee by Steve Smallman and Jack Tickle https://safeYouTube.net/w/o5PI Science Kid video ( listen carefully.. Squeaks partner talks really fast. ) Bees https://safeYouTube.net/w/ghPI Writing and Art https://www.easypeasyandfun.com/how-to-draw-a-bee/ Check out this video where you can use the word bee to draw a bee https://safeYouTube.net/w/SMPI Now we will do a report about bees . Take a picture of your writing and have mom or dad e-mail it to me at [email protected] Example, Polar Bears Opening sentence : Polar bears are very interesting animals. Here are 3 amazing facts about these animals. The first fact I was amazed to learn about these animals is that their skin and even their tongue are black in color. I always thought they were white. It turns out they just look white . Their fur is made up of hollow tubes that reflect the sun’s light making they look white! Who would think a Polar Bear can overheat! It’s true. This can happen when they are running and in the summer. Just like us. What a sense of smell they have. Polar Bears can smell seals, 1 kilometer away. They can even smell the seals if they are under 1 meter of snow. Closing sentence. Polar Bears are incredible. No wonder they can survive the Arctic. Math This is another fun activity put together by our district math mentors! This activity will allow students to count as well as use directional words With a partner and using direction words create a path to get from one area to another. This could be from one object to another or from one area of your home to another. This activity could also be completed outside. · For this activity students could use grid paper or simply put a plan in place to get from one area/object to another. · Students will use direction words such as right, left, up, down to get their partner to the end of the path. Students can choose to draw out their path or have their partner act out the directions they give. Students may wish to go from one area of the backyard to their treehouse. Anything goes if they are having fun! Example: Living Room to bedroom of a house · Take 5 steps and then turn right · Take 5 more steps and then turn left Practice: Exercise circuit with patterns Use three movements below or make up your own · Jumping Jacks · Touch your Toes · High Five the Sky Push Ups · Hop in a circle To make your pattern, decide how many times you will do each movement. Repeat the pattern 3-5 times to create your exercise circuit.

There is also a scratch app. Extension for Activity – Pick an area or object that you would like to get to using direction words. With a partner, students will explain where they are needed to get to and show the directions that they have given. They must try to get to the selected area/item in 10 or more steps. THIS IS ANOTHER IDEA FOR ACTIVITES FOR THE WEEK Covers a little bit of everything This is a fun all-inclusive activity from ASD – N about cooking !!.
