Pre-recorded Lessons for Online Instruction (April 27 – May 8)

Week 5

April 27, 2020

Morning Meeting: Students will be doing their calendar, tracking the weather, and then practicing making one dollar or 100 cents. Do pages 381 and 382 in your packet for this week (the first two pages).

ELA: Students will be live on Zoom. Today we will be doing mostly review work of sight words, rhyming, and segmenting and blending. Then students will do the ‘where’ sight word page in their packet.

Here is the read aloud for Start Saving, Henry! which we also read to further remind students the importance of saving their money and to practice counting by 5s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzG1Az5k-TQ

Math: Students will do pages 479-481 in their Math workbooks. Chapter 13 is about breaking apart numbers 11-20. This is the introduction to adding and subtracting numbers above 11. They also will do the penny counting page in their packet. Send photos when complete!

Religion: Students will be live on Zoom to talk about how God always has a plan. He had a plan for Jesus and He has a plan for us and how He wants us to live our lives. First, we will talk about what happened after Easter. What happened after Jesus came back from the dead? And why? We will watch this video, recapped it, and discuss how God had been planning this from the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOgKAAuEpcE  Then, we will read the story The Plans I Have For You by Amy Parker. This book is about the plans that God has for all of us! He gives us all a special job to do in order to make the most of our time here. Here is a read aloud if you miss the live Zoom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nqP_eR41ks. Finally, we will talk about one of the most important jobs that God has given us — to take care of the planet! God gave us this Earth to live on, so we need to take care of it. God trusted us all with that job! We will watch this video to see why littering is bad for the planet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pbXLw6NDBM

April 28, 2020

In-service day — no new assignments and no Morning Meeting. Use this day to catch up on any previously missed assignments. I will be happy to send you what you are missing if needed!

April 29, 2020

Morning Meeting: Students will do their calendar work, track the weather, and do the Brain Dance to get them refocused for this week! Then they will do pages 387 + 389 in their packet, and then they will color their decodable story in the back of their packets.

ELA: Students will be live with me so we can read their decodable story together titled Run, Tim. I will read first and student will listen, and then we will practice echo reading. We will then go through and underline the nouns in the story, and then answer the W questions: who, what, when, where, and why? We will discuss why going over these questions after a story is important for checking out understanding. Lastly, they will do the word search in their packet for the short o vowel sound. They must also pick one of the words from the word search to make a sentence. Take photos when completed!

Math: Do pages 482-484 in their Math workbooks. Then have students do the flip flop ordering page in their packet. Send photos when complete!

Social Studies: Students will be doing the Chapter Closer for Time and Chronology that is on Pearson Realize. Please complete all assignments online!

April 30, 2020

Morning Meeting: Students will do their calendar, the weather tracker, and have their introduction to quarters! Then they will do the next pages in their packet, pages 388 + 391.

ELA: Students will be live on Zoom as we introduce digraphs to them. Digraphs are when there are two letters next to each other and they make one combined sound. We will first be focusing on simple ones: ch-, sh-, and th- (for example, change, shoe, think). We will work together to make lists of words that have those sounds. We will also be watching videos that help us practice the sounds and give us more examples of how they are used in words. We will then be working in our Handwriting book on page 14 and writing one sentence for each sound, using a word with that has that sound. If you missed the lesson, I emailed you photos of the lists we made and an example of what their sentences should look like. Please send a photo of their sentences when complete.

Math: Students will  do pages 485-486 in the workbook , and then do this recorded lesson of counting with quarters, practice counting them up to make as many dollars as they can. Please send in photos or videos of them counting, as well as photos of the workbook pages!

STEAM lesson: Students will be live on Zoom to learn about the forces of motion, push and pull. We will read the story Maisy Plays Soccer and use a ball to practice the different kinds of forces of motion ourselves. Then we will sort images based on whether or not they are a push or a pull. Here is a read aloud of Maisy Plays Soccer in case you miss our lesson and want to try this at home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJvZKAcH9_w

May 1, 2020

Morning Meeting: Students will be doing their calendar, weather tracker, and some yoga. Then they will do pages 393 + 396 in their packet. Here is the yoga story time that we watched and participated in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZAaZDVqCiA

ELA: Students will be watching read aloud of the story of the week, This is the Way We Go to School. We also read this story at the beginning of the year while acclimating to our classroom, so it might be familiar to them. When we read it at the beginning of the year, we discussed how some schools are in our neighborhood and some are not, and how we get to school ourselves. Now, we want to talk about the different modes of transportation people use depending on what kind of area they live in. For example, someone who lives by the beach would not ski to go to school because it is not snowy at the beach. Someone who lives in the Arctic would not take a bus to school because it is too snowy for regular cars to drive on roads. Watch and discuss with your student! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W2SKKWvNfM    Afterwards they will be doing the sentence building page in their packet (the one with a kangaroo on it) and doing their leveled read aloud videos, which I am posting onto ClassDojo. Please send a photo of the sentence building page when complete!

Math: Students will be live on Zoom to do pages 487 – 488 in their Math workbook page. Then will do some Mental Math problems together on the Sadlier website! We also will be reviewing the concept of breaking numbers apart. If your student is struggling with this concept and you are unable to join our Zoom meeting, here is a short video explaining it that you can use that will hopefully help. Be sure to send photos of workbook pages when complete!

ELA: Students will be working on sequencing, or telling the proper order of things. We will use the Jack and Jill rhyme to help practice this skill! Then, we will practice giving directions in the correct order. We will watch this video as an example! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FptTD6zx22k&list=PLAwOTEJXH-cMc-qB87mOyb6rjA0nRDwH1 Students will be working on a project to create a book of recipes! Please have your student think of their favorite food or a recipe that they know by heart (it could be for something like grilled cheese, chicken nuggets, or even something like a cake! Anything goes!). I will ask students to tell me the steps that are required for making this recipe and write them down to compile them into a book. If you are unable to be on live to do this, please send me video of them reciting their favorite recipe. I would like to write it down in their own words!

Math: Have you student complete pages 489-490 in their workbook, and complete the page in their packet on decomposing numbers 11-15 for extra practice! Send photos when complete!

Religion: Students talked about forgiveness. We watched this video that shows how it can feel really hard to forgive someone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aEUjlxOK-Y.  We talked about how it’s okay if it is something that takes time, but that in the end we will always feel better when we calm down and let it go. We connected this back to God. We talked about how there are some people who will always forgive you if you are really sorry because they love you so much, and God is one of those people! As long as you show God you really mean it when you apologize, He will forgive you no matter what you do.
