Good
morning!! Happy Easter!!! Alleluia !
Jesus is Risen!
Thank
you to all the people who were able to make cards for the people living in
assisted living homes. Father Anthony and Mrs. Valdes picked up and delivered
your cards. I know they appreciated your kind deed!
Please
email me by 10:00 AM so I can take and submit attendance.
How
was your vacation? Did you get to relax and play? I relaxed, cleaned my house (not
fun, but necessary), did a lot of reading, and enjoyed time with my family!
Did
you get to see Mass on Easter or yesterday? Did you notice anything? Yes! The
priests were wearing white. The banners and cloth on the altar were white. White
is the color for the Liturgical season of Easter. That’s right, Easter isn’t
just one day, it is a season that will last for 50 days!!
There are 40 days (there is that special number
again) until the Ascension of the Lord (Ascension Thursday), when Jesus went to
heaven to be with His Father. Then there are 10 more days to the Feast of
Pentecost, when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the Apostles.
So
keep telling the Good News that Jesus is risen!
Let’s
begin our day with prayer:
Today
I have a song for you, what happens when you sing? That’s right! You pray
twice!
Please
sing ‘This is the Day that the Lord Has Made’
You
will find it on youtube.com at:
Please
say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Oral
segmentation
*say
the words to your child one at a time, ask your child to segment each word
sound by sound
You
say : hi Your child says: /h/
/ī/
Continue
with these words:
him,
we, web, go, got, goat, no, not, note
This
activity will help your child to think about how words are segmented (broken
up) and it will help them to hear and think about the sounds in words. This will
help them when they have to spell a word.

MATH Symmetry
*draw
2 pairs if plane figures (circle, squares, rectangles, triangles…) that are the
same size and shape (congruent) and 2 pairs that are not the same size and
shape (noncongruent)
*have
your child identify which pairs are the same size and shape and which pairs are
not
Background information about symmetry:
A
figure is symmetric if it can be folded to form two matching parts (2 congruent
figures). The line of the fold is called the line of symmetry. A line
of symmetry divides a figure into matching halves. Some figures can have more than
one line of symmetry. A circle has an infinite number of lines of symmetry.
Squares and rectangles can be divided horizontally or vertically. Squares can
be divided diagonally but rectangles can’t.
*demonstrate
folding a sheet of paper in half and cutting along the nonfolded side to make a
symmetric shape like a heart or a leaf.
*unfold
the shape and have your child compare the two parts and notice that they match
exactly
*explain
that a shape with two matching parts have symmetry
*explain
that the fold is the line of symmetry
*let
your child fold a paper, draw a shape along the folded side, and cut it out

*questions
#1-4 read directions together
*circle
the shape that shows the line of symmetry
(2-second
circle; 3-second square; 4-first rectangle)
(question
#4 is sometimes confusing because the parts look like the same size and shape but if you fold them they do not
match up)
*question
#5 read and discuss Talk It Over
(#4
can help this discussion)

*questions
#6-11 read directions together
*draw
a line to show symmetry (remind them both sides must look exactly the same and
use the dots to help)
(answers:
#6-10 draw a vertical line; #11 can be vertical or horizontal)
*questions
#12-14 read directions together
*draw
2 lines of symmetry for each figure (remind them all parts must be the same
shape and size and use the dots to help them)
*Critical
