* If you are having difficulty printing the activities please see the message below:

- If you use google chrome for your browser, you can download an extension called Kami Extension that lets you annotate a PDF.  In essence, it lets you type over a document.  You can then save the document and email me the document completed.  

- Also, completing work on a seperate piece of paper is acceptable. Just make sure to put a name and date on the top so it can be accounted for.

COMPLETED WORK WILL BE USED AS STUDENT'S ATTENDANCE WHILE WE ARE OUT OF SCHOOL. ALL WORK IS DUE ON THE DAY STUDENTS RETURN TO SCHOOL. 

  Class Schedule

Below I have posted our class schedule.  This can be beneficial to try and keep students on a routine throughout the day :)

8:45-9:10: Unpack & build with toys

9:10-920: Calendar/Weather

What day was yesterday? What day is today? What is the date? What is the year?
What is the weather like today?

9:20-9:45: Social Studies/Science

The online remote schedule will have activities to do during this time.

9:45-10:15: WIN

Basically a time to review skills in centers. I typically do 2 plays centers and 2 work centers. You can review letters, sounds/sight words, number practice, etc.

10:30-11:15 Fundations/Reading

Practice all of the letters and sounds. We started to practice the digraph “sh” maybe write some words that have the “sh” sound.

For reading, we read from our book baggies.

The online remote schedule will have information regarding what to do during this time.

11:15-12:15 Recess/lunch

We go outside on the playground and have lunch during this time.

12:15-12:40 Sight Words

We play sight word games and review our previous sight words. I also introduce the new sight words for the week as well.

12:40-1:20 Specials

1:20-1:45 Writing

The online remote schedule will have writing prompts to do during this time. 

1:45-2:30 Math

Practicing how to write numbers is always a great idea!  The online remote schedule will have things for the students to do as well.
