Kindergarten homeschool plan, week 31
Silent e: a_e · Solid shapes in the world · Sink or float
Week 31 of 36 in kindergarten, in quarter 4. Five days, about 70 minutes each.
Reading: a_e, an e at the end is silent and makes the a say its name: cap becomes cape. Words to read and spell: cake, make, game, name, gate, tape, cave and same. Sight words: “but” and “get”. The new story is “In My Bag”, and the reread is “At the Farm”.
Math: Solid shapes in the world. Finding cubes, cones, cylinders and spheres in the world and describing their faces and corners.
Science: Sink or float. Some things float and some sink, and the shape of a thing can change which it does.
Read-alouds: “Sink or Float?”, “Why Does Ice Float?”, “The Crow and the Pitcher”, “Ben and the Puddle Boat” and “Odile and the Fizzy Cup”.
For the whole family: Guess, then test, which things from the kitchen sink or float in a tub of water.
