Read 20 minutes
Read the story of “Ike’s Bike Ride” with your family. There are 3 ways to make the “long i” sound in the story (igh, i with sneaky/bully e and y sounding like i). Highlight three words (one for each different way to make the “long i” sound) from the story and write the three words in your journal.
Read the story of “Ike’s Bike Ride” with your family.
Highlight all the words with the “long i” sound and read them to your family.
The Story of “Ike’s Bike Ride”
Like his sister, Leaping Eve, Ike likes to dream that he can go high into the sky. But Ike isn’t interested in looking down at the streams, trees, fields, or streets like Eve, and Ike doesn’t imagine that he can leap or fly. Ike’s interests lie beyond the clouds, the moon, and the sun. Ike dreams that he can peddle his magical bike to stars that shine brighter than the sun, and planets with snow that tastes like ice cream.
Each evening at five, Ike rides his nice new bike to the top of the highest hill. As the fiery red glow of the setting sun slips below the horizon, Ike plans his nightly flight.
At nine each night, Ike goes to bed and his adventure begins. First Ike rides right through mighty bolts of lightning as they try to strike his shiny bike. Then Ike says, “Hi!” to the man in the moon and takes a bite of green cheese as he peddles still higher. After exploring brave new worlds, Ike takes his feet off the peddles and glides back down to earth just in time to see the sunrise and eat his breakfast of Rice Crispies and a slice of rye toast.
Thinking Thursday
Write an asking sentence that uses the sight word “why.” Think about how it should start and end!
Read the word problem below to your family then solve it to find the answer. Don’t forget your math drawing and number sentence!
Mike likes to dine on pies and fries outside by the pine trees. If Mike ate five pies and nine fries tonight, how many things did he eat?
Read the sentence below to your family. Draw a picture to show what happens in the sentence.
The bright light blinded his sight and stopped the fight with the knight!
Had we been in school this week, here is what we would have been working on:
Our focus this week is all about
patience. Sometimes we get very excited about things and it makes it hard to
wait. Our book this week is The Very Impatient Caterpillar by Ross
Burach. This story is all about a caterpillar that finds it very hard to wait to
become a butterfly. He finally learns that good things come to those who wait.
Vocabulary from the book:
· Impatient: not willing to wait for something
· Transform: to change completely
· Chrysalis: the stage when a butterfly is
turning into an adult and is in a hard case
· Twirl: to turn around and around quickly
· Migrating: to move from one place to another
Here are a few activities you can do
at home with your child this week:
· Put a surprise in a box and give your child a
time frame before they can open it.
· Bake cookies with your child. Take one out
before they are ready to show why it is important to be patient when cooking.
Phonics: The sound of long i
This is a tougher long vowel sound in that there are lots of ways to make a short i tun into a long I (bully e as in bite, igh together as in light, ild, as in child, two vowels go walking as in pie and y at the end of a word like fly). We have attached a few extra activities to help with this since it may take a bit longer to work on. Choose which one(s) work best for you! We have attached some of these to this email also to help with printing.

Math:
Continuing Composing shapes with triangle: 3
things to work on this week (See
Mrs. Barnwell’s video at https://youtu.be/XRgv0kLjvjI ) as well as Mixed addition and subtraction practice: in Mathseeds, the driving tests are great for math fact practice.
Science:
Continue on with finding evidence of how animals can be grouped by their feature with the topic of fish. Below are the attributes of fish. Please use the chart below, or go to BrainpopJr (CLEVER, Cobb Digital Library icon, BrainpopJr, science, fish) and maybe then to Pebblego (CLEVER to Cobb Digital Library icon to pebblego animals and study different kinds of fish)
Then have your kiddo sort some animals
into groups using this Brainpop game:
https://www.brainpop.com/games/sortifyanimals/
Social Studies:
We would like the kiddos to still work
on learning their address please.
We would have been learning about The
Statue of Liberty. Pebblego is a great resource for this (CLEVER, CDL icon,
Pebblgo Social Studies icon, U.S. Symbols icon then Statue of Liberty)
You can have your child make their
best Statue of Liberty costume and post it on Seesaw, or try downloading a
green screen app and place their picture in front of this memorial then post it
to Seesaw.
Writing:
We would have been working on
non-fiction writing. That means doing some research (maybe about fish this
week) and turning that research into a non-fiction written report. To make it
more exciting we usually start the report with a question like “Do you want to
be a fish expert?” or “What do you know about fish?” We can also start with an
exclamation mark sentence such as “Fish are amazing!” In this way they are
practicing their writing and working on the other standard of learning ending
punctuation as well.
