April 29th

Literacy/Art:

Today we are going to listen to/watch a short video called "Tzaritza."

During this video, take notice of all the various items like buttons, yarn, clay, etc that are used to make the film. 


Click the link: Tzaritza

After watching, these are some suggested activities to try. You can respond in your Journal if you like. Please send me photos of anything you create based on this video!

       * The animation of Tzaritza involves various items. How many can the students name (buttons, origami boats, découpage, photographs and drawings)? Where are they used and how do they add to the enjoyment of the story?

      * Create a picture using unusual items they find around them or brought from home. The picture cannot simply be a collage but must express an emotion, a thought or an action where the items help to tell the story.

      * When Lily spent time with her Baba, she learned about her father’s childhood. When we learn about our parents as children, we often learn about a different side of them and begin to understand some of their adult quirks and habits. Ask the students to write 3-5 questions to ask their parents about when they were young. They can ask these same questions to their grandparents or to someone else who knew their parents as children. 

Reading: Visit Raz Kids today and choose a story or two to listen to, read, and take a quiz if it is available. 

Numeracy: 
* Gather up 12 objects from your house or yard. (marbles, cutlery, rocks, lego, etc) 
       * Order your objects from smallest to largest. 
       * Group your objects based on their color. (Called an "attribute."
       * Group your objects based on another attribute (size, shape, etc).
       * How many different addition and subtraction equations can you make with a sum of 12?  (7+5=12)
