Thursday, April 2, 2020- HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUAN!! Hide a flower day

TBD Spirit Week: e-Learning Style!



Morning News: click the link April 2, 2020

*We read the morning news together every morning. One student points to the words and reads the news while the rest of the class follows. Please have your child read the news and find sight words in the news. If you have a printer, you can print the news and have them highlight sight words on paper. If you don't have a printer, your child can just point to the sight words that they find in the news!

Morning Routine: (oral)

What day is today? What day was yesterday? What day is tomorrow?

It is a new month. What month is it?

What kind of weather is it outside today? 

Go Noodle:It’s Your Birthday and Another one! (it looks like they deleted our usual birthday song)
*If you’d like to share a picture of a birthday card for Luan or a video singing happy birthday to Luan, I will be happy to send it along :) I am sure it will brighten his day!

HAPPY APRIL!!! Sing the Wednesday song and the APRIL SONG to your families!

 

April showers,
April showers.
Pussy willows too,
Pussy willows too.
Lots of rain and sunshine,
Lots of rain and sunshine.
It’s springtime for you,
It’s springtime for you.

(each line is echoed and to the same tune as the March song)

HERE are the month songs where you fill find April. If you can print, please do so. If not, you may re-write this song on paper and have your child decorate the border around it.

*Ms. Corbett created her April boarder around the April song. Did you? Here is a picture of the things I drew around my April song. If you did not yet, create a border around the song today. We draw pictures around the border to match each month. For April, I drew April showers bring May flowers, Easter eggs, a bunny, and birthday balloons because my birthday is in April! (The blank space at the bottom is where I put a picture of your child).

Today is the 130th day of school!

*If your child is having trouble with any sight words, don’t keep going! Stop and “master” the ones they know first. *Ways to get better at sight words- arm tap them, rainbow write them (write over and over using 3 different color crayons), and find them in books while reading! - Today we will compare words that have -ch digraphs and -sh digraphs. Get ready! ch and sh blending

- This week we learned a new sound /sh/.

- This sound is a digraph! Remember a digraph is two letters representing one sound

- We now have learned 2 digraphs /ch/ and /sh/

- What sound does the digraph -sh make? - When you make the /sh/ sound - pretend you are a shark and use your arms to make a shark mouth (like you would to the song “baby shark”). - Click to listen to the -ch song
