Looking for some options for our second day of extended break? The following activities below are optional, but could really help to get students back into the swing of school. Use if you wish! READING/WRITING:*We have been working on learning to identify themes in literature and summarize our reading. Students can watch and listen to White Socks Only by Evelyn Coleman and then blog about the theme and/or summarize the story. 1. Click here for the read-aloud: White Socks Only. Students may want to listen to this two or three times. It would be appropriate to jot down their thinking as they listen so they are able to have enough details to support their thinking when they go to blog. 2. Log-in to Kidblog. Have your child start a "new post" and write either about the theme, or write a summary for the story. *Reading and Journaling are always worthwhile! MATH: *IXL is always an option for practice! Our last unit focused on multiplication…this may be a good place to work! *Kakooma is great for practicing fluency in addition and multiplication. SCIENCE: A NEW YEAR! Take this extra time to get creative! Create a 2014 goal/visualization board. Any media will work..paints, markers, cut/paste materials. Find a piece of poster board, scrap cardboard, or canvas and get started.
What do you want to achieve this year? How do you want to grow this year? What would you like to be able to say you accomplished/overcame at this time next year? Visualize and create a collage filled with images, words, thoughts, quotes, etc., focused on your answers to the questions above. Keep your creation in a special place so it can be seen often!
