Please let me know if your child needs extra help. I’m here! 
 
Website Reminders: 

Please remember to have your kiddo do xtramath daily, if possible. Also, the EPIC! app is a great way for me to assign books to your kiddo at their level. Lastly, Education.com is a wonderful place for your kiddo to practice math and language skills at a 1st grade level. If you have not yet joined any of these, please let me know and I will get you set up!

 

 

 

Art Lesson – First Grade Pysanky

https://web.seesaw.me/

 

Art

Listen to Mrs. Kragt tell a story about an artist who had to stay in his bedroom for a long time, and how he painted pictures of his room.  Then follow along as Mrs. Kragt shows you how to draw your bedroom.

 

 

Pre-K:

1st:

Flight of the Bumblebee is a fun and energetic piece of music that follows the frantic flight of a Bumblebee. Can you picture it as you listen? If you’ve ever watched a bumblebee, they aren’t graceful flyers! They bump into things and they don’t fly very straight!

This music was written by a very famous Russian composer (just like painters paint paintings, composers write music, which are called compositions) whose name was Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, a fun name to say! He lived from 1844 to 1908. If he was alive today, he’d be 176! Nikolai was a good friend of Pyotr (Peter) Tchaikovsky, the composer who wrote the music to the famous ballet, The Nutcracker.

Draw and color or paint what you see or feel when you listen to Flight of the Bumblebee.  Do you see bees busy making honey?  Do you see yourself running away from a bee?  What do you see?  Maybe it is not bees at all, but something else.
As you listen to the song the first time, close your eyes and let the song speak to you, then create a piece of art.

Pre-K Art –

PE
Our last Wednesday Challenge is to learn one of the character moves from the Hot Dog Dance on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My daughter may be obsessed with this show and loves this dance. Hopefully your child will enjoy at least one of the characters dance moves.
If you have a big family, you could all choose one character and then do the dance together. 

 

Obstacle Course-

 Tie your shoes together and see if you can still do it

 Link arms with someone and try to make it through

 Create an obstacle course whether in your house or outside

 See who in your family can complete it the fastest

    March_April Exercise Log- Borculo PE

    Pre-K – 2nd Grade:
    These students will not have anything formal from me. We did miss out on 2 different units that it would be great if they did some work at home on in the next couple of weeks. We didn’t get to do a dancing unit, so anytime they can get up and dance to a song that would be awesome. The last unit we didn’t get to this school year was hitting a ball with a racket or a bat. If you have time, please use what you have at home to work on hitting an object with another object. Anything where you are playing with a ball, balloon, or toy, especially catching and throwing would also be great for this age group. We will also be having weekly challenges for all age groups that this group can be a part of each Wednesday.
    3rd-8th Grade:
    These students have been added to a Google Classroom with all the 3rd-8th Graders. They are going to be required to do 9 different exercises each week and also complete at least one running lap around your house (partly for exercise, partly for fresh air, partly to let them feel like they aren’t trapped inside even for a little bit). There are two google docs that are attached to this email that all these students will have a copy of. They can choose to fill it out on their documents on google classroom or print them off and keep track of them this way. If a student misses a day or two of running around the house they can just make it up another day, it is really just a way to motivate them to keep moving in a time where it can be really easy for us to just sit around in our houses all day. If you have any questions about any of these forms let me know.
    One of the other things that I am offering is a time to exercise together. This first week I will be doing a Zoom meeting on Monday and Wednesday at 7 AM. This is optional and not at all required, but I thought it might be fun to work out together in the morning before they start doing their school work (it is also before my own kids wake up). I know it is really early so you can reassure your child that it is optional and they only have to do it if they want to, but the more the merrier. I have listed the Zoom Meeting information on Google Classroom.
    Lastly we will be having school wide PE challenge days. These will happen on Wednesdays and they will be a fun way for students and parents to do some challenges. I will be putting these also on Google Classroom, so your child can find them on Wednesday morning. These are also optional and just something fun to try for your children.
    Hopefully these few things will keep our students motivated to keep moving around and being active without giving them another huge responsibility and more work that they feel that they have to do. I hope that this gives you all an idea about what your child should be doing for PE class the rest of the school year. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me.
    Thanks for your support and all the extra work you are now doing at home to support your child/children’s learning.

    Technology Activities at Home

    K-2 Technology
    I have created two choice boards for the students to use for technology activities. Technology Choice Board #1 is meant for the month of April and Technology Choice Board #2 is meant for the month of May, however any of the activities may be done at any time. 
    3-5 Technology
    For this week, practice typing on typing.com! By next Wednesday, I will have a Technology Classroom for Grades 3-5 where I will post weekly/biweekly choice boards and technology challenges. Students in grades 3-5 will receive an invitation to my Google Classroom through their email, and they will simply have to click on the link in the email to join.
    6-8 Technology
    For this week, practice typing on typing.com (or typing club for a few 8th graders who have finished typing.com)! Students in grades 6-8 already have Technology Google Classrooms that we used in Tech. Class. By next week Wednesday, I will begin to post weekly/biweekly activities/challenges on their Technology Google Classrooms.
    8th graders and 8th grade parents:
    Please look for an email coming from me soon about having the 8th graders help with the creation of the yearbook (optional), as well as some requests I have for pictures for the yearbook and graduation video of your 8th grader.
