Kindergarten Learning Menu Information: May 11th – May 21st
Please find the attached Learning Menu for May 11th - May 21st. A few notes about the menu (changes from last menu are bolded):
- This menu includes two-weeks of learning material and supports instruction through May 21st. Please note: Friday, May 22nd and Tuesday, May 26th have been designated “No School Days” to stay within the 180 school day calendar.
- Consider working with your child to plan out how they will work through the menu over the two-week period of time.
- Students are asked to submit their work to an assignment or two- we would love to see what your children are doing so we can assess their understanding of material and plan next steps. Directions for this are provided on the menu.
- The Specialist Menu is grade level specific. Your kids can pick one Specialist area every day or so to work with.
Washington State’s Superintendent’s Office is recommending the following for daily learning times:
- Kindergarten/1st Grade: 45 minutes a day - 2nd and 3rd Grade: 60 minutes a day - 4th and 5th Grade: 90 minutes a day
We are taking weekly attendance and our goal is to check in with students at least once a week. Please be sure to connect with your teacher via e-mail, phone, Zoom, Google Classroom, or by submitting assignments. If you are looking for more learning, consider looking back at previous menus and doing an assignment you may not have gotten to OR check out the many websites listed under “Helpful Websites”. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s teacher. Teacher e-mails are listed at the bottom of each menu and teachers are establishing Office Hours to provide additional supports as needed. Your teacher will communicate the Office Hour information with you via e-mail.

Sample Kindergarten Schedule Washington State’s Su[erintendent’s Office is recommending that K/1 students should be engaged in
at-home learning for 45 minutes daily.
This is meant to guide you for schooling at home. Please do what is best for you, your student and your
family.
1. 10 minutes : practice letter sounds, sight words, numbers, counting (flashcards, games, online
resources, etc.)
2. 15 -20 minutes : Work on one or two activities from our Learning Menu. (Remember, we
encourage games to be played multiple times.)
3. 10-20 minutes: listen to a grown-up and/or sibling read you a story or independently read one
of your little books from school or from your home library.
4. Make sure to take movement breaks in between activities (go on gonoodle.com or do jumping
jacks, go for a walk, play outside etc.
Health & Wellness : Believe in Yourself
● Find something you love to do ● Do it everyday ● Use your imagination ● Write down your goals or draw a picture of what you want to do ● Set small goals – knock them o� – set more goals ● Work hard – it builds confidence ● The secret is to enjoy the journey – the highs and lows – be patient ● Never stop reaching for your goals till you get there
Please watch these videos! https://youtu.be/3CQusoJSh0E https://youtu.be/HLBDPUdckQs https://youtu.be/IWLZ2b158HI
Library : ● Continue reading daily with your child. Have your child find sight words s/he
knows within the pages of the book. Ask your child to retell the story after reading it together, by looking at the pictures.
● Technology : Big exciting news: we are beta-testing a virtual coding program that allows our students to complete coding challenges online. If you are interested in trying this with your student, go to code-beta.makewonder.com. The teacher code is: pc8gm. Look under “Kindergarten,” then scroll until you find your child’s name. Your child can try to complete puzzles and have some fun exploring this site! If you run into any glitches, please email me (see Ms. Arnold’s email below) and I will forward your comments and questions to the company, since this is a beta test, there may be some! Also, this only works with ChromeBooks and laptops and is not compatible with iPads or phones, yet!

PE: Baseball / Softball Skills This week you will be working on your underhand tossing and overhand throwing. Check out the attached posters to see the correct form for tossing and throwing. Equipment: Any ‘soft’ ball that can fit in your hand or a “sock ball” (a couple of socks balled into each other) - use whatever you can find to replicate a ball. We recommend Baseball/Softball skills be practiced outdoors whenever possible. Underhand Toss: Practice tossing to a target on the floor. Your target can be a laundry basket or any “ground area” you designate as your target. See if you can toss accurately into your target 10 times. Overhand Throw: Practice throwing to a target ona wall or even to a partner. See if you can throw accurately to your target 10 times. Extension(s) of the Week: How many times IN A ROW can you accurately throw to your target. Try to beat your last record.
General Wellness : How to lift your spirits! Students make a list or a poster of 10 to15 things that: make them happy; they can do by themselves; doesn't require adult assistance; costs any money; or requires a screen. Hang the list or poster in their room. When they are feeling bored, upset or lonely go to their list for ideas to find fun and healthy activities. Examples: Create a 3-D animal out of recycled materials; write a poem or a song; work on a puzzle or make your own if you don't have one; paint your nails; try an experiment you learned about in school; take a dog for a walk, climb a tree... Try something you may have never done before but wanted to try. Have fun with this!! For more social emotional skills, lessons and helpful stories visit our Google Classroom.

Subtraction Smash 1. Student rolls out 5 playdoh spheres (balls) 2. Student rolls dice (use one from an old game or use the dice template
included to make your own). 3. Student smashes that many play-doh spheres (balls) and tells you how
many are left.
Use your own play-doh or use this No Cook Playdough Recipe *Just add hot water!
Ingredients
● 2 cups all-purpose flour ● ½ cup table salt ● 2 tablespoons cream of tartar *find this in the spice aisle of the grocery
store ● 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ● 1 to 1.5 cups boiling water *added in increments until the dough feels just
right, not too sticky ● Add in food coloring/scents/glitter as desired
Directions
1. Mix the dry ingredients and make a little dent for the wet ones 2. Mix the wet ingredients (including any additions like color/scent) and pour
into the dry ingredients. 3. Mix all ingredients together, stirring vigorously 4. .Let the mixture cool 5. Play and learn with the dough!
Make a CVC Word: Nonsense or Real? Materials :
● ABC flash cards ● Writing tool ● Writing surface
Set up:
● Sort vowels (a, e, i, o, u) into their own pile ● Place consonant cards upside down, spread out on surface ● Place one vowel card in front of the student ● On the writing surface, create an area for the student to record nonsense words, and a
separate area for students to record real words. This is their recording sheet. Game Play:
1. Student chooses two consonant cards (at random) to place on either side of the vowel card to create a CVC word.
2. Student sounds out word. 3. Student identifies if the word they made is a nonsense word or a real word. 4. Student records their word in the appropriate “nonsense” or “real” word area on their
recording sheet. 5. Return the consonant cards to their upside down playing area. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 to continue game play. 7. When the game is ended, have the student practice reading their word list.
Things to Consider:
● A vowel card can be strategically chosen if the student is still working on mastering that sound! Is your student still working on /e/? Consider having them work with that vowel during the game.
● For added challenge, the vowel card can be replaced each turn like the consonant cards. ● For added challenge, when the student creates a real word, have them use it in a
sentence.
● Recording sheet example: Insert blank page
Week 6 K/1 (5/11-15)

Musical Expression “Dynamic Conducting Paddle” Project:
(1) Print out the dynamic markings below, and cut into four squares.
(2) Use a popsicle stick, pencil, or stick as the base. Tape or use a glue stick to stick the letters together, face out on either side of the stick to make a Conductor’s “paddle”. Put about 2 inches of the stick in between the papers (trim as needed).
(3) Get another person (Sibling, Parent, Friend) to sing or play a song you know, or use the composition you created using the rhythm cards from previous weeks activities, while you hold up one side to face them, then flip (rotate) the other side of each paddle. Explain what the letters mean:
f = Loud, p = Quiet, ff = Very Loud, pp = Very Quiet [Practice each one first]
Place one paddle in each hand. Raise one hand to start song ( only one hand can be up at a time ). “Conduct” the dynamic changes by twisting your wrist back and forth (to show the other side), and raising/ lowering your hands, to get 4 different markings. The “musician” has to change their volume level to match, but don’t switch too fast! Have fun taking turns “Dynamic Conducting” and “Performing”!
