Good
morning! How was your weekend? Saturday was a beautiful, sunny day.
Please

Let’s
begin our day with prayer.
My God,
I offer you today,
All that I think
and do and say,
uniting it with
what was done
on Earth
by Jesus Christ
your Son.
Amen.
If
you have any special intentions please say the Glory Be to the Father after
them. (You may want to pray for the store workers, mail carriers, and garbage
collectors.)
Please
say the Pledge of Allegiance.

PHONICS
*please
read word list on page 225
*do
box #3 page 225 Spell It
*say
a word then have your child write it on a paper or in their Phonics Notebook.
(You don’t have to do all the words on the list; you can ask your child 5 words
and they can ask you 5 words.
Have
them check your work to make sure you spelled them correctly. They may need
help with the long e spellings. They can ask you ‘Which long e spelling?’ You can
ask them what they think before they write it, this way they don’t get
frustrated fixing written mistakes.
I
would try to use these words: seat, meal, green, read, teeth, sleep, dream,
feed, bean, please)

the story and ask these comprehension questions:
‘What does the story say you can feel on
your head at the beach?
(have them point to the word) (heat)
‘Which compound words have the word sea in them?’ (you
may have to remind them what a compound word is. I usually use the word cup cake cupcake as
an example) Have your child circle the compound words. (seaside, seashells,
seaweed)
‘What do you learn about the seaside and the beach from
the pictures? What do you learn from the words?’
‘How do you think cans got on the beach? How can bags
help you clean up the beach? What will the beach be like when these things are
all picked up?

Genre:
Fiction-Realistic Fiction
Ask: ‘Why do you think it is
realistic fiction?’
(events, setting, and characters
seem like they could really happen)
Setting:
apartment
rooftop
city street
Problem:
(The boy wants to play with people in his family but they are
too busy.
Or
There is a blackout in the city
and it seems like there is
nothing to do.)
Problem
Solved: (The lights come back on but the family turns out the
lights again and plays a game together.
Or
The family joins their neighbors for a party on the
rooftop and street.)
Characters: (Boy
Mom
Dad
Sister
Neighbors)
Noticings:
·
speech bubbles
·
text is in the
illustrations, not down at the bottom of the page
·
at the end of the
book everyone is happy to spend time together
·
illustrator’s use
of dark colors to create the tone of the story
·
pictures tell
important events in the story
*make
a list of activities you can do during a blackout either from this book or your
own ideas. Here are some ideas:
· make shadow puppets
· play board games
· have a party
· sing songs
· eat ice cream
· draw pictures
· read a book
· tell stories
· go for a walk
***Please send me a picture to show me
your list***
Did
you get to make shadow puppets on the wall with a flashlight and your hands?
Was it fun?
Compare
and contrast Blackout and A Bus Called Heaven
Ask:
‘What kind of place do both stories take place?’ (city)
‘What time of day does each story
happen?’ (Blackout-night;
A Buss called Heaven-daytime)
‘How can you tell?’ (illustrators made it look like
day or night by using different colors)
‘What brings each community together?’
‘What do these stories teach you about communities?’
‘Even though we have to be separated from our
communities right now, how can we be together?’
(notes on windows, watching Mass on TV or computer,
praying, Zoom meetings…)
‘Why is it important to spend time with your family?
What do you like best to do with your family?’

MATH
*practice
counting by 10s and 5s to 50
*point
out how 10s and 5s (overlap) are similar
10, 20, 30, 40, 50
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
(this
helps us count dimes
and nickels)
*always
count dimes first
*give
your child 2 dimes and 2 nickels (remind them to pause when they switch from
counting by 10s to 5s, it gives our brain time to think)
Count: 10, 20, pause and think, 25, 30
Page
359 Count on by Dimes and Nickels
*read
information inside blue rope
*questions
#1-2 count on and write how much (do together)
(This
is a new concept and many students will struggle and need to practice this over
and over again to master it.)
*question
#3 (if you sort the coins with dimes first and nickels second it makes it
easier to count, instead of jumping around counting by 10s then 5s then 10s)
Page

questions
#4-6
*count
on and write how much (do together)
question
#7
*read
(give your child 3 dimes and 3 nickels)
*put
out 2 dimes and count them 10, 20
*explain
if you use the last dime it will be 30 and that is too much
*add
a nickel count 10, 20, and 5 more is 25
(some children have trouble going from 10s to 5s, I
tell them they can count their way up by counting by 5s like this:
Dime:
5, 10
2nd
dime: 15, 20
Nickel:
25)
*so
one answer to #7 is 2 dimes and 1 nickel
(There
is another answer if your child is ready; ask them if they can think of another
way to make 25¢ using dimes and nickels. If your child is not ready don’t try
to get them to think of another way yet it will only confuse them. Second answer: 1 dime 3 nickels)
question
#8
*read
question and discuss that this is a multistep question
Step
1-Lucy has 6 nickels (give your child 6 nickels and count
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
So Lucy has 30¢
Step 2-June has 3 more nickels than Lucy (give your child 6
+ 3 nickels, 9 nickels in all, and count 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,
45
So June has 45¢
Challenge (remember they call it challenge for a reason)
Multistep
problem
Step
1-Grace has a quarter 25¢, a dime 10¢, and 2 nickels 5¢each
(This is a challenge because we haven’t counted with
quarters yet-I dislike it when books do this.)
*count and write with your child (some might be able
to do this but most will not be able to)
*model it so they can see, hear, and write it.
25, 35, 40, 45
So Grace has 45¢, but that is not what they want to
know
Step 2- What does Grace need to buy a pear?
*She has 45¢ and the pear costs 50¢. If she gets another
nickel 5¢ she will have 25, 35, 40, 45, 50¢.
Yes! The answer is she needs a nickel 5¢.
(Do not be discouraged if your child is struggling
with counting dimes and nickels. We are going to keep practicing this.)
You worked hard and I am so proud of you.

(Mrs. O’Donnell shared a Scholastic site

to try it for about a month for free. I liked that they match up 2 books of a
similar subject, one is fiction and one is nonfiction.)

reading.***
RELIGION

Gospel was about 2 disciples walking along the road to the town of Emmaus. They
met Jesus but didn’t recognize him.
