Good morning students and families! Can you believe it is Friday!
We hope you had a nice family day of reflection Thursday as we remembered those who gave so much so we can live in peace.
Today is our 9th day of Home Learning. Here are today’s activities.
Language Arts:
Alphabet Review – Phonics song- A is for Apple-ABC alphabet song with sounds for children- click link below (4:00)
Letter Gg - This week we are introducing the letter g. Gg makes the sound /g/ (guh). Remember Gordo Gorilla pounds his chest when he makes the sound.
Video – The letter G song (3:32) Have Fun Teaching
Letter Gg Activity – Draw and label items that start with Gg (Ex: grapes, girl, goat, gloves- Can you think of anything else?)
Math
This week we are learning about subitizing. Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize, without counting, “how many” in a small set (dots on a dice).
Another way to practice subitizing: looking at dominoes or a deck of cards- notice the dot patterns. Find cards/dominoes that match (same amount of dots)

Math game to play that practices subitizing: Lady Bird Spots- choose matching.
Fine Motor: practice making the letter ‘g’ and numeral ‘5’ using one of the following options (playdough, Legos, rocks or noodles). Remember to use the correct formation (top down) & practice tracing with your finger over them once finished & say the letter name or number.
Website: If you have the opportunity, check out squigglepark.com, a literacy program where students can have fun learning and practicing letter names, sounds and more!
