A special message from Ms. Tsagalakis

Here is a fun April Movement Calendar: April DEAM Calendar

“Redouté Still Life”

Thank you: Mrs. Jessup’s 1st Grade Class

Value: Floral Keepsake

French artists Matisse and Redouté shared a love of color and a rich respect for the tradition of still-life painting. One gave us lush compositions packed with florals and another dense patterns and flattened perspectives. Ms. Jessup’s 1st grade class imagined what might happen if these two artists created work together. Students constructed hand-painted paper flowers in a Matisse-like style, then arranged in a Redouté-like fashion, resulting in a contemporary take on a timeless tradition.

9:00-9:30 Daily 5 Read to Someone or CATCH UP time from the week

This is a fun time to “Face time” a classmate or family member and read together.  You can choose from the following ways to read to someone:

1. Check for understanding.  You share one book and take turns reading it.  One reads a page or two and when he is finished the other person “checks for understanding”.  This means you retell what happened in the story (who, what, where).  Then the other person reads a page or two…
2. Fluency Practice: If you have older brothers or sisters, this might be the choice for you.  One reads a page out loud showing good fluency (taking breaks for periods, commas, using voice).  The other then reads the same page.
3. Read 2 different Books: This is perfect if you are facetiming a friend or family member. You both get out good fit books and take turns reading a page or two of your own book.

No reading assignments today!

10:30-11:00 Religion

Materials needed:  Rosary if you have it

During Lent it is important to pray to God and find peace in our hearts when everything around us seems scary or confusing.  The rosary is a perfect prayer to think about the joy of God. You are welcome to learn about the rosary by watching Brother Francis on formed.org (free to sign up).  Find his episode called “The Rosary”.  Then see video below.  If you don’t have a rosary you can use your 10 fingers. 🙂  I will be leading the first joyful mystery (one decade).

Optional activity:  https://www.catholicicing.com/how-to-make-a-rosary-with-kids/

9:00-9:30 Daily 5 Read to Someone

This is a fun chance to “Face time” a classmate or family member and read together.  You can choose from the following ways to read to someone:

1-Check for understanding.  You share one book and take turns reading it.  One reads a page or two and when he is finished the other person “checks for understanding”.  This means you retell what happened in the story (who, what, where).  Then the other person reads a page or two…

2. Fluency Practice: If you have older brothers or sisters, this might be the choice for you.  One reads a page out loud showing good fluency (taking breaks for periods, commas, using voice).  The other then reads the same page.

3. Read 2 different Books: This is perfect if you are face timing a friend or family member. You both get out good fit books and take turns reading a page or two of your own book.

No reading assignments today!
