Today we continued learning our new routines for the new year. It's going to take a couple of weeks but they will get the hang of it.
For Word work today we did Making Words. This is where the kids are given specific letters and they use them to spell words. Here is a pic of some of them hard at work:
Here is a screenshot of the letters we used today and some of the words we made:
In Computers we played some fun colour games. You can check them out here.
In Math we
started the Measurement Unit. The
learning goals for this unit are:
- Make comparisons
between objects (longer, taller)
- Order lengths of
objects (shortest to tallest)
- Compare the areas of
objects by covering them with different materials.
- Practice the language
of measurement using words such as longer/shorter, as tall as, more/less,
heavier/lighter.
- Compare the capacities
of containers by filling them with water and other materials.
- Compare the masses of
objects using scales and balances.
Here
are some activities you can do at home.
- Ask your child to
compare different lengths at home and then make comparison statements.
- Collect various small
objects and have your child order them by length or height.
- Cut a piece of
string. Have your child measure curved
objects to see which is the longest.
- Have your child use
books to cover the kitchen table and then the coffee table. Discuss which one has the greater area.
- Gather different
containers from the kitchen. Have
your child use counters to (pieces of cereal, beans, etc…) to compare the
different volume of the containers.
- At a sink, have your
child pour water from one container to another to find two containers that
contain approximately the same amount of water.
- Collect different
objects. Have your child act as a
balance scale, by holding one object in each hand and then deciding which
is heavier.
- Make a balance scale by
attaching plastic bags to either side of a coat hanger. Place an object in each bag and see
which one is heavier.
Have a great night!
