Wednesday May 6

Storytimes are as follows:

Wednesday, May 6 10:00am with Mrs. Mask

Thursday, May 7 2:00pm with Mrs. Mask

The Google Meet code to join a storytime with one of the teachers is storytime.

If you plan to attend the storytime Google Meet, we ask that you please turn your microphone OFF as soon as you join the meet. We expect that there will be many Kindergarten friends who want to join and it can become very loud and distracting with so many friends all in the same Meet. Teachers will open the Google Meet 5 minutes prior to the story starting.

Extension: Can you find an interesting fact about the animal you chose? Check out Epic books or National Geographic Kids to see if you can learn something new about it!

Math Problem Solving
Materials - blue math journal, pencil, pencil crayons, pictures below

Question #1 - Use picture below from the story
There are 5 cattails on the left page and 5 cattails on the right page. How many cattails are there all together? Draw your answer with pictures and numbers. If you can, try to count up from the number 5 instead of starting back at 1.

Question #2 - use picture below from the story
Look at both pages. How many turtles are there? How many ducks are there? How many turtles and ducks are there in total?
*Extension: Look at the right page only - if there is one turtle on the log and 4 ducks in the water, how many legs are there in total?

Challenge: How much weight can your tin foil boat hold? Count up the number of objects that your boat holds until it sinks. Can you guess how many it will take? Why did it sink or float better with certain objects? Experiment with as many different objects as you can to compare.
