🐰 Raise your hand if you have any plastic eggs at home. 🙋🏻‍♀️
🐰 If you’re like me, you save them from year to year and the colors don’t always match up the following year.
🐰. Let’s put those eggs to good use!
1️⃣: write uppercase letters on the tops of the eggs. Then write lowercase letters on the bottoms. (It helps if you mix and match colors to make it more challenging.) Have your child match letters.
2️⃣: Make works family eggs. Write a word family ending on the bottom (ex: -at, -ap, -ed, -it, etc). On the top half, write 5 or 6 consonants. When you spin the top half of the egg to match the bottom, you read the word.
3️⃣: Cut out small pictures or object to place inside the eggs. (Ex: hat, sun, chip, dog, ship, etc). Have your child crack open the egg and spell the word that matches the picture.
4️⃣: Place sight words in the eggs. Hide them around the house/yard. Once they’ve found the eggs, they read the words to you.
Enjoy!!!

Today's Pixar Short for inferencing is Forky asks a Question: What is Money?

This is a great way for 2nd - 5th graders to practice understanding what is happening "between the lines" in text and in film based on the things the characters are saying and doing.

The film is available for viewing on Disney+ and YouTube. Here is the link for the YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA5eWgPSd4w.

Feel free to let us know your favorite Pixar short and we will make an activity for you!

Happy Thursday!

Third through fifth graders: You can practice inferencing while watching Pixar short films!
Today's film is Jack-Jack Attack, and you can access it on Disney+ or YouTube. https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/jack-jack-attack/1XSkNeFQipwp

💥After watching the film, you can answer the three questions found in the photo on this post.

💥Make sure you are using evidence from the film to support your answers.

💥Have a favorite Pixar short? Drop the name of it below👇 in the comments and we will make an inferencing activity for it.

Today our focus is on making inferences. This is an essential skill where students take what they know + what they’ve read to draw conclusions about the text.
As students progress with their reading skills, the text requires them to infer (especially when there are no longer picture clues). This will help students understand characters and the tone of their books.
This skill can be taught at an early age. For our K/1 students we’ve created task cards where they have to tell you what they think happened and WHY.
For 2nd-5th grade we’ve created a think sheet that they can work on after watching a short film called ‘Partly Cloudy’.

When making inferences, be sure to have students support their claims with EVIDENCE from the text or film.
If you have any questions, let us know. Be on the lookout because we will also be emailing materials out later today.

Happy Monday!! Today we are practicing SIGHT WORDS with a Tic-Tac-Toe Choice Board.

Activities can be completed inside OR outside. Plus you can play on your own or with a family member.
1) Choose 3 of your child's sight words to use while playing the game.
2) They pick 3 squares in a row to "win" the game.
This could also be played with a partner (for those with siblings or a parent could play) like regular tic-tac-toe to determine the winner.
Drop a picture below if you decide to play today. We hope you have a GREAT day and enjoy the gorgeous weather.

•If you would like to print the file and need the pdf, let us know and we can send it over. It should print from the image below, but just in case.•

If you’re like us, I’m sure you are trying to soak up as much of this beautiful weather as you can between the rain. So, today we did some reading in the “clubhouse”.

You can even practice reading skills when you are outside!

One way we’ve done this is by taking walks. Eleanor hunted for letters on signs, mailboxes, license plates, etc. McKinley spotted objects and thought of a word that rhymes with it (example: she saw a house and then said mouse).

Other things you could do:

💥Think of words that have the same first, middle, or last sound as an object you find on your walk.

💥Segment the names of objects you find on your walk (b-o-x).

💥Have a grownup give you a sound and find as many things as you can that start or end with that sound.

Drop us a picture if you go on a reading skills walk!

Hope you all are enjoying getting outside on these warmer days!
