Hi there Kinders and families. I hope you had a nice weekend and despite the cool weather you were able to get outside for a little bit. Today we went for a lovely walk in the woods. It was a nice day for a walk. What did you do? As we start another week of home learning, I want to extend my gratitude to everyone for all you are doing to help your little ones learn at home.Keep up the great work.

Here is the daily plan for Monday;

Borrow-A-Book- Today please colour and read the book, "Play in the Snow."This book is in the borrow-a-book bag. Take your time with colouring. Read your book to someone.Point to each word as you read,look at the pictures for cues,sound out any unknown words,look for sight words you know. Circle all the sight words you find on each page,say the word. Record your name and book title on the reading log.

Writing-Using the writing sheet "My Weekend",draw a detailed picture of a fun activity you did this weekend.Start your sentence with a capital letter, use spaces between your words. Use your sight words and sound out unknown words.End your sentence with a period. Read your sentence to someone.

Math- Count forwards and backwards 0-10 and 10-0. As you count,walk forward 11 steps.As you count down from 10 to 0 walk on tip-toes 11 steps back to where you started. Did you end up in the same place?Why\Why not?Today I have a new math game for you to play called, "Snowy Bump". The instructions are attached to the game page in your packet and I have also attached them to this note.Let me know what you think.Have fun!!

Sight Words- Review your sight words today.I have added the next sheet in your packet. Check these words with your child and see if they recognize any new sight words. Students can use these words in their daily writing,as well. I have added all sight word list on my documents page.Remember, students must consistently recognize the words before moving on to a new list. I will check their recogntion when we are back in class.

Squiggle Park and Boom Cards- Spend 10-15 minutes. Try a new literacy and\or math game on Boom Cards.

Brain Break-get up and move today.Do your Count to 100 exercises and try this Disney brain break dance and yoga poses.https://youtu.be/C5Yt8pzbATo?t=5. HAVE FUN!
