April 14-17 Lesson Plans


Note to Parents: Not all items need to be sent back to me. Some items (weather chart, calendar) can be sent in at the end of the month.  I will indicate which items I would like to have a copy of completed work.  But use your discretion as time allows for you.  As far as reading goes, once your child is ready to read a book independently to me, you can send a 5 minute video clip. Do not worry if they cannot read the entire book in that time frame. I just need a glimpse of independent reading.  Once a week is what I am hoping for. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures/videos you have sent me so far!!! You are doing amazing work with your children.

Understand that some multi-letter phonograms have more than one sound. eigh (/A/--4 letter /A/), ei (/A/- /E/-/i/ that we may not use at the end of English words, ey (/A/-/E/-/i/ that we may use at the end of English words, ph /f/--2 letter /f/

___Math:  Subtraction:  How do we do this?  You know.  Use your numberline.  Start with the first number (what you have) and hop backwards on the numberline (what you are giving away). Where you land is your answer!  Some of you do not need the number line.  You simply count backwards in your mind.  What works best for you?  Let’s try 2 easy work pages today.(send me a picture)  ;Bonus: Math Game: Play the roll and color game

____Socials:  “Me on the Map”.  (2 day project).  Color and label “This is my World”, “This is my continent”  “This is my country”  (see instruction on bottom of each page)  Cut out the circles on the dark lines (not the dashed line) and save for later assembly.  (The rest of the pages can be done tomorrow)
