With parent’s help, write a letter or draw a picture to a family member you can not see.

How many letters are in your name? Cut one circle for each letter to create a caterpillar!

Make a 5x5 bingo board and fill with letters A-Z. Some letters might not fit on the board and that’s okay. Have a family member call out one of the letters, then the student finds it and covers it up with a coin, or a little piece of paper.

GO ON A WALK and count how many steps you take.

Using 5 paper plates, cut each in half using a zig-zag pattern. Write a number 1-5 on one half and the corresponding number of dots on the other half. Match the halves together as a puzzle game.

Make a 5x5 bingo board and fill with shapes- square, circle, star, triangle, oval, heart, rectangle, & diamond. Have a family member call out one of the shapes, then the student finds it and covers it up with a coin, or a little piece of paper.

Music Standard/Skill: Review of multiple skills

Kindergarten PE

Yoga: https://www.cosmickids.com/category/watch/?energy=active&changed=energy OR

- While standing move your head sideways and front and back (3 times)

- Roll your shoulders forward and backwards (3 times)

- Lift your arms up and reach up as high as you can

- Lean your body on one side then the other side

- Reach forward and try to touch your toes

- Swing your arms up and down then add a jump as you swing them upward

- Arms out and rotate them forward and backward

- Arms out and twist your body left and right

- Rotate your hips

- Jogging on your space, then high knees, bottom kicks

Plank Challenge: Start with forearms on the floor and knees down. Bring knees up, count to 10. If you can't make 10 go as long as you can!! Remember this is a challenge. Now lift right leg straight up, down. Now lift left leg straight up, down. Hold for a 10 count or as long as possible Now lift right arm straight out, down. Now lift left arm straight out, down. Hold for a 10 count or as long as possible. Do this 3 times, remember to keep good form and keep breathing. See if you can increase your count by 2 daily.

While brushing your teeth move your hips in the same motion as your toothbrush. With a family member use a bed sheet like a parachute in PE. Lift up and down to move the air underneath the sheet. Gather rounded objects of varying size. Starting with the largest object try walking around your house keeping the object between your knees.

Do you know about the movie "Toy Story". What toys belonged to Andy, the little boy? Buzz Lightyear the astronaut, Woody the cowboy, Ham the pig, Mr. Potato Head, (and others). The toys could move and talk except when a real person can see them. Because of this, you will be moving around like the toy which is called out, but when someone calls out "Andy's coming!", everyone has to freeze in a shape that looks like the toy might make. But before they can do this, you’ll need to practice making the shapes like the toys. Spread out in your personal space, and practice these statues:

Make a statue like Buzz might make. How are his arms and legs? Yes, straight. Make a Buzz shape with your body all the way on the floor...partly on the floor...up in the air. How would Woody look? Yes,curvy and loose. How would Woody look all the way on the floor? Partly on the floor? What about Ham? Yes, he would make an angular shape, using all his body parts on the floor. What about Mr. Potato Head? Yes, a wide shape. How would Mr. Potato Head look if he was all the way on the floor? Standing up?

Now that everyone has had practice making the shapes, call out a toy. Challenge students to move around like the toy might move; then call out "Andy's coming!". Students should freeze in a shape the toy might make. Challenge them not to move! "He's gone!"--students can begin to move again! Call out another toy to move; again, periodically call out "Andy's coming".

You can also put on music; have students

2 When scientists found the bones of this dinosaur in Argentina

in 2014, they got excited. They wanted to display them. But how do you

show bones that stretch 122 feet long? The American Museum of Natural

History in New York City decided to try.

3 Real bones are too heavy to hang together. The scientists

made new bones in the same shapes and sizes. Then they put them

together in a skeleton.

4 Next, they looked for a good place to put it. They put the body

in one large room. Its head and neck reached into another one!

5 In January 2016, the dinosaur was ready. Many people went

to the museum to see it.

Comprehension Questions:

1. How big was titanosaur? Underline or write two sentences

that tell.

2. Where was the titanosaur displayed?

3. When did the show open?

4. How did scientists make the titanosaur skeleton?
