Play Addition War with your deck of cards (just use numbers 2-5).

Split the cards in half. Each player turns over their top card, and the first person to call out the sum, keeps both cards.

Use cards 2-9 (you can use the Aces as 1’s if you want to). Turn over all the cards. Take turns picking 2 cards each. If the person says the correct sum, they can keep the cards. (Ex: I spy a 4 and a 2. The sum is 6.)

Science

Look at the list you made yesterday on your walk. Choose one of the animals you saw. Find a book or video about that animal to learn more.

Math

Addition: Family of 10

Using all the cards (2-9), lay out all the cards in rows, face up. Take turns finding 2 cards that make 10. (Ex: 8 and 2, 6 and 4, 7 and 3). When there are no more, repeat again with a different sum. (Ex: Find all the ways to make 7).

Science

Find an animal living in your house, or living outside (ex: squirrel). Watch it carefully for 5 minutes. Where does it go? What is it doing? Why is it doing that?

Read a NON-FICTION book.

*Find 1 new vocabulary word in the book, and write it down. Have someone help you find out what it means.

Writing

Prompt:

Write down 5 facts that you know about stars. Find a book about stars to learn more.

Phonics & Sight Words

Set a timer for 1 minute. Write as many sight words as you can before the time runs out. Do it 1 more time, and see if you can write more words the second time!

Math

More/Less: Top It

Using all the cards (2-9), divide the deck in half. Each player turns over their top card. The player whose card is MORE, gets to keep both cards. If the cards are equal, each player takes back their card. Repeat until 1 person has all the cards.

Science

Choose one of the animal videos your teacher sent to you on Epic to watch (click on the mailbox on Epic). Write down a part of the animal that helps it survive. (Ex: Elephants use their trunk to get food.)

Math

10 More/10 Less:

Using all the cards (2-9), turn over 2 cards. For example, I pick a 5 and a 3. My number is 53. I need to write down what is 10 MORE than 53, and what is 10 LESS than 53. So I would write:

10 Less 43

53

63 10 More

Repeat 5 times.

Reading

Listen to this read aloud by Ms. Newburn called,

Who Has These Feet?

*Draw an animal, and write about how their feet help them survive.

Writing

Write about a time that you were brave. When did you do something, even though you were scared?

Phonics & Sight Words

Read the poem, The H Digraph Family. How many words with digraphs did you find? Can you look in a book and find 3 more words with a digraph at the beginning OR end?

Science

Choose 1 animal. Find out how it defends itself from other animals. Does it have a special part or skill to protect itself?

(Ex: Turtles use their hard shell to hide and protect themselves.)

Families,

As you complete assignments, please have your child post their progress at least 2 times a week on Flipgrid. We want to see your videos, and hear about what you are learning! Your videos will only be seen by your teacher and classmates.
