Story of the Week: ‘The House that Tony Lives In’-Informational Fiction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6AHH4ZJOT8   

Thinking of the story you listened to yesterday (The House that Tony Lives In)- Who helps to build a house? What does that look like?   

Reflect back to our story, ‘The House that Tony Lives In’- Can you explain the meaning of each amazing word for the week? 

   

Can you make a connection with the story, ‘The House that Tony Lives In’?  Use the words, frightened, worried, proud, or angry.   

Grammar Skill Review: Sentences https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh7hCqyfaPs      

Sight Word Review: have, they, four, two, blue -use your sight word booklet for your list of words. *Skywrite your sight words with big motions. Skywrite your words with tiny motions.  Extension/Optional Sight Word Block Game: 

Turn a classic block building game, like Jenga, into a way for you to learn your sight words. 

Start by writing a sight word on each block. Playing the normal 

Jenga rules, where a player removes a block from the tower 

and places it on top, have the student who removes the block 

successfully use the sight word in a sentence before the next player takes their turn. Or for an easier version, read and spell the words 

while moving the blocks.  

 

Comprehension skill: Setting- Where does the story take place?  Rainbow Write   your sight words- Trace with different colors with chalk, crayons, or markers 

 

Amazing Words: Architect, plumbers, landscapers, 

electricians, painters, movers  

Tic Tac Toe Write your sight words on index cards or paper. Put them in a pile face down. Take a card, and read it. If you can read it, you may write an X or an O on your game board. See example: 

 

Journal Writing Prompt: Draw a picture and write a ‘5 star’ sentence, using the starter, Building a house…. *The writing template is on the kindergarten website. 

  

. 

Extension/Optional: Sight    Word Candyland Game: Create your own game board 

or use one if you have it!   

Write a sight word on each of the cards (or just the double square cards if every card seems like too much).Students will read the word on the card before moving spaces.
