Good morning students and families!   

Today is our 13th day of Home Learning in 2022. 

Here are today’s activities. 

 Language Arts: 

Alphabet Review:  Learn The Letter N | Let's Learn About The Alphabet | Phonics Song for Kids | Jack Hartmann - YouTube (Right click on link to open) 

Letter Nn - This week we are working on the letter Nn. Nn makes the sound /n/. This sound is made with the mouth slightly open, with the tongue pushing up towards the roof of the mouth and against the back of the front teeth. Nigel Night Owl makes big owl eyes – use your hands to make big circles in front of your eyes as you make the sound. 

Letter Nn Activities: 

Today we are going to practice printing the lowercase n. Start by printing one line down, from top to bottom. Then, go back up the line and make one hump. Remember you can practice printing the letter n first by using your finger to make n in the air or on a table. You can also practice printing n with your finger on someone’s back or on the palm of your hand! 

Next, take out the Nigel Night Owl sheet and print 10 nifty n’s around the night owl. Then color Nigel the best you can, trying to stay in the lines.  

Sight Words: The new words for List 3 are:        go       is        like

Today we are going to practice the word “like”. In your Home Learning packet, take out the bubblegum “like” sheet. First look at the bubblegum machine and color the letters to spell the word “like”. Then on the bottom on the bubblegum machine, highlight or circle all the “like” words. There are 6 of them. Then complete the rest of the “like” activities on the sheet.  

Next, find the “like” reading sheet with sentences in your packet. Find the word “like” in each sentence. How many are there? Look at the pictures to help solve new words and remember to look at the beginning and ending sounds in the new words too. Point to the words and read each sentence.  

Reading: Take out the Community Helpers book in your packet. Can you think of some people who work in our community? Brainstorm some ideas before looking at the book. Open the book and look at the pictures. As you look at each page, try to find the sight words “I, am, a” throughout the book. The word “I” in this book looks like a lowercase l because it is missing the top and bottom of the capital I. Sometimes we see “I” written like this. Carefully read through the book, tracking the words with your finger and using the pictures to solve the new words.

Number 7 Activity: 

Use any small objects from home and create sets of 7--> 0+7, 1+6, 2+5, 3+4. How many are in each set? Which set is the largest? Which set is the smallest? How many do you have altogether? A helpful way to create sets is by taking a piece of paper or paper plate and drawing a line down the middle. Using your 7 objects, create two sets, one on each side of the line. This will help to clearly see how many are in each set.  

It is important to read to your child each day and have them go outside for physical activity.

Any completed work can be stored in the Home Learning Kit- until we return to in person learning at school to be placed in their binders. 

 Once again, thank you for all your support during this challenging time of Home Learning.  We are hopeful to have all students back on Monday!!

Good morning students and families!   

Today is our 11th day of Home Learning in 2022. 

Here are today’s activities. 

 Language Arts: 

Alphabet Review:  "The Letter N Song" by ABCmouse.com - YouTube 

 (Right click on link to open) 

 Letter Nn - This week we are introducing the letter Nn. Nn makes the sound /n/. This sound is made with the mouth slightly opened, with the tongue pushing up towards the roof of the mouth and against the back of the front teeth. Nigel Night Owl makes big owl eyes – use your hands to make big circles in front of your eyes as you make the sound. 

Letter Nn Activities: 

In your Home Learning packet, take out the letter n mini book and fold it into a booklet. Look at each picture in the book and name what it is. Then, point and read each word in the book aloud to someone at home. 

Rhyming practice: Words that rhyme have the same sound at the end of the words. For example, cat rhymes with hat. They have the –at sound at the end of each word.  

Video: The Rhyming Words Game | Rhyming Song for Kids | Reading & Writing Skills | Jack Hartmann - YouTube 

Can you think of a word that rhymes with bear? Can you think of a word that rhymes with look? Words that rhyme can be real words or nonsense words.  

Sight Words: The new words for List 3 are:        go       is        like 

Today we are going to practice the word “go”. In your Home Learning packet, take out the sheet titled “Highlight it” with the word go. Highlight or color the word “go" throughout the passage.  

Next, take out the sheet titled “Where I Go”. First, find the word “go” in each sentence. Look at the pictures and name what you see. Using your finger, point and read each sentence using the pictures to solve the unknown words. Today when you are reading the new words, look at the entire word carefully and listen for the beginning and ending sound of the words. For example, park begins with the /p/ sound and ends with the /k/ sound.  

Math: 

Video: "A Week Is Seven Days" by ABCmouse.com - YouTube (Right click on link) 

Number 7 Activity: 

In your packet- Find the Seven Birds sheet and count and color 7 birds in each nest. Be careful some nests have more than 7 birds, so you won’t have to color all the birds. 

Number practice: Using the green number cards in your home learning packet, put the numbers in order from 0 – 10. Have someone at home point to a number and tell them the number that comes before and after. For example, if they point to 5, the number before 5 is 4 and the number after 5 is 6. Practice this with all of the numbers on the cards.  

Extension: Challenge someone at home by asking them what comes before and after a number and check if they are correct!

It is important to read to your child each day and have them go outside for physical activity.
