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!
  • • Identify the characters, setting, problem, and solution.

• Read out loud to your sister, brother, pet, parent, or stuffed animal.
• Call a relative and read a story over the phone.
• Listen to someone else read to you. Talk about the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  Identify the main characters, setting, and problem in the story.
• 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!
• Create a list of words that have consonant blends in the beginning or ending. (SLed)
• Practice your sight words! Write them down on small pieces of paper and use them for a scavenger hunt, and then turn them into hopscotch.  After you’ve done that, hide them in a dark room and use a flashlight to read them!
• Make your own book by stapling some paper together. Remember to give your book a title!
• Identify open and closed syllables as well as ng and nk ending digraphs in books that you read at night.

Math:

• Go on a shape hunt in your house. Where can you find circles? Triangles? Squares? Rectangles? Rhombuses?  Trapezoids?
• LOOK for 3D shapes!!
  • Draw a picture of what you found and bring it in to show me on our next day at school!
• See how high you can count. Count back down to zero. See if you can count by 2’s or 5’s!
• Make a pattern using buttons or another small object. What variations can you come up with?  Can you make a challenge pattern?
• Conduct your own session of “Calendar Math.”  What is today? Tomorrow? Yesterday?  Follow our classroom routine.
• Create number bonds with object at home.
  • Example: 4 chairs and 1 table make 5 or 4+1=5

Discovery:

• Brainstorm some design ideas that you can use for your building for Kinder City!

For Fun:

• Get some wiggles out with GoNoodle!  You can dance, jog, wiggle, shake, and more!
• Make play dough… here’s a recipe.
• Try your hand at origami.
• Make indoor “snow” – mix 3 cups baking soda with 1/2 cup hair conditioner (white conditioner to keep the snow white).
• 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!
