Happy Snow Day Kindergarten!

Get ready for a day of learning and fun with your Kindergartener!

You can stay in your PJ’s, put on some cozy fuzzy socks, and use this page as a resource for activities you can do together. Parents, please send me a picture on Remind so I can see what fun each Kindergartener is up to today!

Kindergarten students can…

Literacy:

• Log into LexiaCore on a computer or tablet and practice language arts skills.
  • Username: first name Password: thesummit
• Log into StoryLine Online on a computer or tablet and listen to a WINTER read-aloud. This book seems fitting!
• Create a list of CVCe words using the magic E and explain to your family how these words change the vowel sound in the middle!
• Make a list of some words that have digraphs! (CHocolate, SHuttle, WHale) They don’t have to start with the digraph either.
• Write down as many words as you can think of that rhyme with MAN. Try it again with CAT, MIT, FIN. Challenge a family member to see who can think of more!
• Write your sight words on half sheets of paper. Crumble them up and have an indoor snowball fight! When you’re done, open the words and read them, then crumble them up again and again!
• Read a new book and see if you find any beginning BLends! (SLide, SNow)

Math:

• Log into IXL on a computer or tablet and practice math skills.
  • Username: first name Password: thesummit

• Conduct your own session of “Calendar Math.”  What is today? Tomorrow? Yesterday?  Follow our classroom routine.
• Make your own number line using paper and string.
• Play hide and seek with your family!  You can even hide your stuffed animals around the house to add more fun.  Instead of counting by ones, see if you can skip-count by 5s or 10s before you go and “seek!”
• Go on a shape hunt in your house! Write down all the shapes you can find. They can be 3D or 2D!
  • Draw a picture of what you found and bring it in to show me on our next day at school!
• Make a pattern using buttons or another small object. What variations can you come up with? Can you make a challenge pattern?

Discovery:

• Find things around the house that use force and motion! Make a list of everything and try to challenge yourself.
• Think about your urban community building. Are there any outside features you want to add to your building? Texture? An additional building? Design?
  • Bring your ideas to school to show me what you have come up with!

For Fun:

• Make some play dough… here’s a recipe.
• Make ice marbles: Fill a balloon with water and food coloring.  Leave it outside in the cold and see what happens… we know what happens to water when it is below 32 degrees!
• Build a miniature snowman in a baking pan. Use buttons, felt, pipe cleaners, or other materials to give your snowman its features.  Make predictions about how long your snowman might take to melt. Now create an observation chart and check on your snowman periodically to record the melting process.
• Make a fort in your bedroom or living room. Go inside and do some writing or reading.
• Get some wiggles out with GoNoodle!  You can dance, jog, wiggle, shake, and more!

Specials: P.E.
