Suggestions for Week of May11TH to May 15th . Language Arts Listen to The Mitten by Jan Brett https://safeYouTube.net/w/U8nD Writing and draw What was your favorite animal in the story? Use a book or internet ( with help from a parent) to look up 3 to 4 facts about your animal. Write a paragraph telling about your favorite animal from the story. Take a picture of your paragraph and have mom or dad e-mail it to me at [email protected] Write a paragraph about a special thing that you lost. What was it? Why was it special? How did you lose it? Did you ever find It? Take a picture of your paragraph and have mom or dad e mail it to me at [email protected] (Adapted from file:///C:/Users/ann.armstrong/Downloads/InteractiveReadAloudFreeSamplePack%20(1).pdf) Math This activity will help us improve counting, representing numbers, and patterning . We will create a Foot Parade counting various animal feet, either from the printable attached (From the Website below) or coming up with animals of your choice. (Students could also use stuffies if they would like, or draw pictures of a 4 legged animal, a two legged animal, an eight legged creature, a six legged insect and an animal that has no legs). For this activity we will be working with even numbers from 20 to 30. We will be able to see how different numbers can give you a different sum. (If you wish to use the animals/insects provided you will find them in the link provided below) 1. First choose an even number between 20 and 50. Students can display this number either on their sheet or in some form in front of them (ex. Sidewalk Chalk, twigs, pebbles, etc) 2. Carefully think about what animals will be in their parade. They can use the same animal over again, as long as the animal parade does not include more feet than the number they have chosen. 3. Now we will write a number sentence below their parade to explain how they reached the number they choose. For example, if I choose the number 30. Octopus, ladybug, ladybug, moose, moose, ostrich 8 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 4 + 2 = 30 ! Then I can do another group of animal legs or pick another number. Obstacle Course - How to Play –We will attempt to complete an obstacle course consisting of tasks using the numbers 1-10. Complete each task two times. Then have students use their double facts to determine the number of times they completed each part. For example, if they find 6 leaves and then 6 more the double would be 6+6=12. Here are some suggested tasks 1. Run/Walk and touch one tree. 2. Walk around your yard two times. 3. Hop on one foot three times. 4. Take giant steps to find four rocks that will fit in your hand. 5. Hop like a frog five times. 6. Find six leaves 7. Do seven jumping jacks. 8. Run on the spot while you count to eight forwards and backwards. 9. Write the number nine using nine items from nature. 10. Pick up ten pieces of garbage. Do each day and change the number of tasks.

Decide on the number of feet. Make an animal parade that equals that number but cover one of the animals. Ask someone at home: How many feet does the animal have that is hiding behind the paper? Extension for Obstacle Course - Have your child complete the obstacle course in sets of 5 or 10 and see if they can figure out how many times they completed each part. 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 . The story “The Diary of a Worm” is a great story to introduce Diary writing. http://stemnorth.nbed.nb.ca/sites/stemnorth.nbed.nb.ca/files/doc//y2020/May/asdn_weekly_steam_issue_7.pdf Art Math -- go to Art projects for kids and under drawing there are many neat instructions for drawing all kinds of different animals. OR Paul Klee was a Swiss painter who was famous for trying out lots of different abstract ideas. One of his paintings shows a figure that looks like it was drawn pretty much from one straight line. This Paul Klee drawing project guides students to make a continuous line drawing that resembles one of his famous paintings, “Arrival of the Bridegroom”. https://artprojectsforkids.org/paul-klee-drawing/
