Literacy

Learning Intentions:  I can brainstorm vocabulary words for a topic. I can use vocabulary words to label.  I can use vocabulary words in sentences.  I can edit my writing for capitals, periods, lowercase letters, and spelling. Description:  This week, you are going to create a plan for your very own treehouse. First, we will read along with two books to help us begin to brainstorm. Next, we will brainstorm important vocabulary words to use. Then you are going to write information about your imagined treehouse. Task 1: Building a Treehouse  Read along with the first story: If I Built A House  Read along with the second story: Everything You Need for a Treehouse  Discuss what stood out to you, and what you need to build a treehouse. Thinking about the first story, what creative ideas would you include in your treehouse? Start designing your treehouse (both inside and outside) Task 2: Treehouse Vocabulary Brainstorm Brainstorm important words you will use to label and write about your treehouse. What kinds of vocabulary words come along with a treehouse?  Observe pictures in the Task 2 Activity PDF to help guide you.  Continue designing your treehouse from task 1, adding labels. *Remember to use neat lines and printing, just like in our iLab plans! Task 3: Treehouse Writing Brainstorm Brainstorm at least 5 ideas to share information about your treehouse. Use the following questions to guide you: What are the parts of your treehouse? What is your favourite part of your tree house?  Why did you include certain things?  Who would use your treehouse?  Where would you build it? Add vocabulary into your brainstorm where it might fit. Task 4: Treehouse Writing Write a minimum of 5 sentences about your treehouse, making sure you’ve included some vocabulary words from your brainstorm.  Edit your writing to check for capitals, periods, lowercase letters, and spelling. Task 5: Ketchup and Pickle (Catch-up and Pick)      Ketchup: Feel free to take time to finish your story if you aren’t quite finished yet.  Pickle: If you’re all done your story and are looking for a fun activity to do, you can choose from these options: Build your Treehouse- Using household supplies (paper, cardboard, paper towel rolls, tape, glue, etc) you can create a model of your treehouse! You could also try with other building supplies like lego, knex, etc. Make your own Word Search- Using your vocabulary words, create your own word search with the blank template on google classroom. Share it with a family member. Raz Kids-  Find a story on Raz kids and record you reading it for your teacher to hear.

Math

Learning Intention: I can identify 2D and 3D shapes and their attributes I can add numbers up to 20 using mental math Task 1:  Naming Shapes Learning intention: I can identify 2D shapes Watch these youtube videos to learn about different shapes! Naming Shapes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgWKM-e9fWQ Trapezoid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwpFClgI-3w Parallelogram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ9NIRw6iqg Play Identifying Shapes Bump Game Watch the video with Ms. Watts to see how to play! Supplies Needed: Paper clip Pencil Game board 2 sets of 10 pieces or other marker (different colour for each player) How to play: Spin the paper clip and pencil. Read the name of the shape you land on. Cover the shape you land on with a lego piece. You can bump the other player off a shape if you get the same shape. If a student gets a shape twice, they can freeze it with 2 of their cubes. The first player to run out of cubes is the winner. Upload a picture of your game to the classroom.  Task 2: Attribute Bump Game Learning intention: I can describe the attribute of a shape Watch this youtube video to find out more about attributes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Uv8Cl5hvI Watch the video with Ms. Watts to see how to play! Supplies Needed: Paper clip Pencil Game board 2 sets of 10 pieces or other marker (different colour for each player) How to play: Spin the paper clip and pencil. Read the attribute you land on. Cover the attribute you land on with a lego piece. You can bump the other player off a shape if you get the same attribute If a student gets an attribute twice, they can freeze it with 2 of their cubes. The first player to run out of cubes is the winner. Upload a picture of your game to the classroom. Task 3: 3D Shape Identification Learning Intention: I can name a 3d shape I can identify the attributes of a 3D shape Watch this youtube video to learn more about 3D shapes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nLpD6bE4fE Supplies needed: Properties of 3D shape tip sheet 3D shapes attribute practice sheet Use the practice sheet and the youtube video to help you complete the practice page. Upload your finished work to the classroom! Task 4: Make Your Own 3D Shapes Learning intention: I can construct a 3D shape I can name a 3D shape I can name the attributes of a 3D shape Supplies needed: Scissors Tape or glue Make your own 3D shapes pages 1-8 Watch the video with Ms. Watts to see an example Cut out the shape. Use tape or glue to assemble to shape. On the spaces provided write the name, and how many edges and corners (vertices) the shape has. Take a picture of your shapes and upload them to the classroom! Task 5: What Makes 20? Learning intention: I can use mental math to find sums to 20 Watch the video with Ms. Watts to see how to play Supplies needed: 2 players 2 dice Gameboard Game pieces for each player ( each player needs their own colour) Player 1 rolls the dice and announces the sum. Player 1 thinks what number needs to be added to the sum to make 20. For example, player 1 rolls a 4 and 3. The sum of 4 and 3 is 7. Player 1 knows 7+13=20, so player 1 covers 13 on the gameboard. Player 2 takes their turn. The first player with 4 numbers in a row (diagonal, up and down, or sideways) wins. Upload a picture of your gameboard to the classroom!
