Monday For today’s activities you will need your favorite book (or any book will do).    As kindergartners, we must know the different parts of a book and their purpose within the book. (As you review each part of the book, have your child point the part on their own book. Have them explain its purpose.)  

    The purpose of the front cover is to tell the reader the title, the author, illustrator and/or photographer.     There is usually an image that gives the reader an idea about what they will learn while reading the book.   

   The back cover and front cover are held together by the spine of the book.    All three of these parts hold the book and its pages together. They also protect the pages inside.

Monday Today we also want to review the role of the author, illustrator, and photographer in informational text. Each has a different job, but each is important in helping the reader understand the text.  (Review the chart below then have your child complete the activity on the next page) 

 Role of the Author is to: 

 ● Write to teach or explain a 

topic to the reader.  

● Use facts, examples, and information to teach or explain a topic 

 Role of an Illustrator is to:  ● Provide drawings, diagrams, 

images, or sketched pictures for an informational text.  

● Match their visuals and support the information the author writes. 

 Role of the Photographer is to:  ● Provide photographs to 

support the information the author writes in the text.

Tuesday When we are reading informational text, we may come across words that are difficult to read. As we discussed a few weeks ago, there are some strategies kindergarteners can use to help them understand the meaning of unfamiliar words. Let’s do a quick review!    Read the short text on the left hand side of the chart below. Then ask your child the questions provided to review the process for using clues provided by the author and photographer. Your child will do more practice after reading today’s text.    

  

 

If you don’t know what the word blizzard means, ask yourself… 

Are there other words on the page to help you understand the word, blizzard?  Have your child tell you the words that helped him or her. Then have him or her underline the words.  Your child should say/underline, “a storm with lots of wind and snow” 

Another question you can ask yourself is, Are there clues to help me in the photograph?   Have your child tell you how the photograph helped him or her.  Your child should explain how there is snow blowing all around.

Directions on using this Daily Routines Document in supporting “Fluently adding and subtracting within 5.”

Fluently means to perform mathematical problems accurately and quickly. Below are different routines to support the fluency needed to master fluently adding and subtracting within 5.

Example for planning: Each routine should take about 5-10 minutes. Choose a routine that would work for about a week so that it becomes a “routine” for the child.

Addition within 5

Sound of Numbers Parent/Teacher: Close your eyes and listen for the cubes being dropped into the container. How many sounds did you hear? Student: Listen and MENTALLY count the number of sounds you hear.

Example: Drop 2 cubes wait and then drop 1 more for the number of the day 2 + 1 = 3.

Notes for Activity: The teacher will drop a cube into the container one at a time until the amount desired is reached.

Link with more information: https://vimeo.com/127606721

Questions to elicit student responses: How many did you hear drop into the bucket? Is that our starting number? How many more did you hear drop into the bucket? How many do we have all together?

Subitizing in Song Parent/Teacher: Let’s count along with the song. Making equations up to 5. Student: The ideal response will be to use an equation to find the total number of dots that are on the screen.

Notes for Activity: The following is a suggested video using subitizing: https://ocps.instructuremedia.com/embed/4d280e0f-9304-4c9c-b238-a98b7cc4a740

Page 27: Week 7 Kinder Student Packets - Sally Ride Elementary School

Subitizing Flash Cards Parent/Teacher: Quickly show students an arrangement of counters using dot flash cards. Ask students how many they see and how they see it. Student: The ideal responses will be to use an equation to find the total number of dots that are on the flash card.

For example, I see 5. 2 counters on top and 3 on the bottom 2 + 3 = 5.

Notes for Activity: This activity assists students in subitizing different arrangements of numbers and reinforces fluency of addition to 5. Students should have 3 – 5 seconds to visualize the amount shown.

Five or Ten Frame Flash Parent/Teacher: Quickly show students an arrangement of counters using a five frame or a ten frame. Ask students how many they see and how they see it. Student: The ideal responses will identify the number with a description of how they see it.

For example, I see 5. 2 counters on top and 3 on the bottom 2 + 3 = 5.

Notes for Activity: This activity assists students in subitizing different arrangements of numbers and reinforces counting. Students should have 3 - 5 seconds to visualize the amount shown.

Page 28: Week 7 Kinder Student Packets - Sally Ride Elementary School

Subtraction within 5

Sound of Numbers Parent/Teacher: Close your eyes and listen for the cubes being dropped into the container and I will say how many I will remove. How many are left in the container? Student: Listen and MENTALLY count the number of sounds you hear dropped and subtract the amount that was stated. Students will voice how many are left in the container.

Example: Drop 2 cubes wait and then say “taking 1”.

Notes for Activity: Questions to elicit student responses: How many did you hear drop into the bucket? Is that our starting number? How many did you hear me say that I took from the bucket? How many do we have in the bucket?

Subitizing in Song Parent/Teacher: Let’s count along with the song. Making subtraction expressions from the given amount of objects. Student: Ideal response will be to create a subtraction expression from the total number of dots that are on the screen.

Notes for Activity: The following is a suggested video using subitizing: https://ocps.instructuremedia.com/embed/4d280e0f-9304-4c9c-b238-a98b7cc4a740

Subitizing Flash Cards Parent/Teacher: Quickly show students an arrangement of counters using dot flash cards (maximum would be 5). Ask students. how many they see? How do you see them? What happens when __ is removed? Student: Example: I see 5 counters on top and 3 on the bottom. When 2 is removed, I have 3 left.

Notes for Activity: This activity assists students in subitizing different arrangements of numbers and reinforces the number sense to 5 and supporting their fluency of subtracting. Students should have 3 – 5 seconds to visualize the amount shown.

Monday Day 1

Hook:What do you know about air?

Engage Effects of Air on Motion: Find things around your house that you can drop without breaking. Try to find things of different sizes and shapes, but be sure not to drop anything that will damage a surface or hurt anyone at your home. Drop each object and record your observations of how the object moved as it fell through the air. Describe how your objects fell to the ground. Examples: fast, slow, straight, side-to-side, etc.

Object Describe How Your Objects Fell to the Ground

A flat piece of paper

A crumpled piece of paper

Exit Slip: Which object reached the ground first?

What caused all of the objects that you dropped to fall to the ground?

______________

Before After I noticed:

Does air take up space?

How do you know?

Hook:

Solids have a definite shape. Liquids and gases take the shape of their containers.

Exit Slip: Why does a beach ball become bigger when we blow it up?

Explain Air:Solids, liquids, and gases all take up space. Air is a gas so it takes up space.

If you blow into a paper bag, the bag will change shape and size.

Why did the bag spread out as you blew air into it? The air you blew into the bag is taking up space.

Look at the picture of the girl using the straw rocket.

Wednesday Day 3

Hook:

How is air being used?

Explore Straw Rockets:Today we are going to explore applying a pushing force using moving air. With an adult, complete the activity below. We challenge you to design and build a straw rocket that can launch the farthest possible distance. Please use only the supplies listed and the force provided by your breath launching it from the straw.

Materials - if you are missing a supply just substitute something you have at your house. For example: a straw could be made out of rolled up paper.Straws (any size) Aluminum Foil Paper (any type unlimited) Glue (any type unlimited) Tape (any type unlimited)There is a template on the resource page, which is page 7 of this packet, that gives you a method for making straw rockets.

Think about your straw rocket design. Ask: What things could you change on a straw rocket that might make a difference in its flight? Brainstorm all of the things that might be varied (changed).

Plan: Think about these questions as you begin this activity. How will you build your Rocket? What materials will you use? How will you put your rocket together? Will your rocket have fins? How long or short will your rocket be? There is a template included on page 7 that gives you a method for making straw rockets.

Build and Test: Build your straw rocket by following the directions. Test the rocket to see how far it travels. Record your data in the table below.

Redesign: Now redesign your straw rocket. Think about these questions as you make changes. How well did your rocket work? What changes could you make to improve your rocket so that it will fly further. Now make the changes to your rocket and test the rocket to see how the changes affected the rocket’s motion.

What do you notice?

Exit Slip: Describe how you used air to move your rocket.

Did the amount of air used affect the flight of your rocket?

Thursday Day 4

Explore Design an Air Movement Device:Your mission is to use items around your home (paper, balloon, straw, toilet paper roll, etc...) to build an air moving device. You will then try to move an object of your choice (small sphere, rolled up piece of paper, etc...) from one side of a room to the other with your device. Can you move it faster? Can you change its direction?

Hook:What is motion?

We know air takes up space.... but can air cause motion? How do you know?

Draw your air moving device.

Exit Slip: How did you change the motion of your object?

Engineering Design Resource Page Day 5 Paper Helicopter: Template for a paper helicopter. Cut on the solid lines and fold on the dotted lines. There isa picture of a paper helicopter on the Day 5 page. When folding, section A should fold forward and section B should fold backward to make blades. Sections C and D will fold toward each other.

Day 3 Straw Rocket: 1. Cut out and shape the rocket body. Cut out the rectangle. This will be the body tube of the rocket. Wrap the rectangle around a pencil length-wise and tape the rectangle so that it forms a tube.2. Cut out and attach the fins. Cut out the two fin units. Align the bottom of the rectangle that extends between the finswith the end of the rocket body, and tape the fin to the body tube. Do the same thing for the other fin on the opposite side,making a “fin sandwich.” 3. Bend the fins. Bend the fins on each fin unit 90 degrees so that they are each at a right angleto each other. When you look along the back of the rocket, the fins should form a “+” mark.4. Make and measure the nose cone. Twist the top of the body tube into a nose cone around the sharpened end of yourpencil. Measure your nose cone from its base to its tip and record the length on the data log and on the rocket itself.5. Prepare to launch! Remove the pencil and replace it with a soda straw. Be sure your launch area is clear of people andhazards. Then, blow into the straw to launch your rocket! Record the distance the rocket travels on your data log.

Family Activities: ___Work with a family member to play “Freeze Dance!”Have someone start and stop music. When the musicis on, dance; when it’s off, strike a crazy pose. ___Work with an adult family member to find a sheetor towel that will act as a parachute.  Hold onto thesheet and move it up and down. Put some soft objectson the sheet and try to "pop" them in the air. ___Work with a family member to play “Red Light,Green Light” in a safe place. Start jogging. When theperson says red light, stop where you are. When theperson says green light, start jogging again. Repeatwhile hopping, skipping, galloping, etc.

Supervised Swimming ___Work with a family member to read this informationabout supervised swimming. Supervised swimmingmeans being watched by someone who makes sure thatyou are safe, like a lifeguard or responsible adult whoknows how to swim. Lifeguards know a lot about watersafety. They are also good swimmers. They help keeppeople safe at pools and beaches. ___Work with a family member to pretend you are alifeguard at a pool and complete the following activities: use a whistle to warn people if they might get hurt orhurt someone else; use a rescue tube or rescue pole toget people out of the water if they need help; scan thewater left to right to look for swimmers that may needhelp; make swimming motions with their arms. Whatother ways could you pretend to be a lifeguard?

Stay in Shallow Water ___Work with a family member to read this informationabout shallow water. It is important to know how deepthe water is before you go swimming. If you cannotswim, do not go in water any deeper than waist to chestdeep, stay in shallow water, or water that is less than 3feet deep. This makes it safe for most kindergarteners,like you, to keep your head above water and toes on thepool or ocean floor. ___Work with an adult family member to find a towel(pool) and 10 small toys (treasure) that would sink to thebottom of the pool. Play “Treasure Hunt"! Place the towelon the ground and drop your toys onto it. Pretend yourtreasure has sunk deep into the water. First, sit in a chairand try to pick up the treasure using your toes. Next, holdyour breath and pretend to dive deep in the ocean topick up the objects with your hands, one at a time, untilyou run out of breath or collect all of the treasure.

Always swim with a buddy! You can keep each othersafe. Never swim alone.Swim only in areas with lifeguards or a responsibleadult who knows how to swim. Obey all rules and posted signs.

Rules for Safe Swimming ___Work with a family member to read these rules forsafe swimming:

___Think of a safe swimming rule that you would like toteach your family members. Create a sign or chalkdrawing, using pictures and words, to teach thisswimming rule.

Swimming and Leg Kicks ___Perform a forward swim with your arms for 30seconds. Rest and repeat two times. ___Perform a backwards swim (backstroke) with yourarms for 30 seconds. Rest and repeat two times. ___Ask a family member to show you how to do adifferent swim stroke. ___Practice leg kicks for 30 seconds. To start, lie down on on your belly and lift your right leg, then the left leg,without bending your knees! Go slowly at first to makesure you have the correct form. Repeat two times.

Swimming Activities: ___Practice Breathing: Work with an adult familymember to practice blowing bubbles by completing oneof the following activities: blow bubbles through a strawinto a cup of water, blow air out onto your hand to getthe feel of blowing out or use a bubble wand and blow bubbles. __Work with an adult family member to learn how tosafely climb in and out of a pool. Lay on the floor besideyour couch and pretend you're climbing out of the waterby pulling yourself onto the couch.  Now practiceclimbing into the water by climbing off of the couch andonto the floor. These actions will help you build thestrength it takes to climb in and out of the water.

___Only good swimmers should get in the water to help someone. How can you stay on the shore or on the pool deck and still help someone who is in thewater?
