Home Connection Day 1Dear Educator,

This set is designed to support parents at home for

several weeks of learning. Each week, there will

be a focus for each subject. There are weekly to

do’s instead of a daily plan. This gives parents

flexibility without having them hop all over the

place. It also allows up to dig a little deeper on a

topic. I tried to design this more like lesson plans

and less like sub plans. I did not include printables

for a packet in this set. There are a ton in the first

set. You can grab those by clicking here. I also

have a great set with tons of nonthematic

printables in my sub plans packet. You can see it

here. In order to use some links, parents need to

sign up for Brainpop which is free. I have included

instructions for them. I also designed this so if you

wanted to print, you could do so front/back with

8 pages per student for the entire month. Please

let me know if you have any questions. I am here

to support you.

Stay well,

Crystal

Home Connection Day 1Dear Families,

This packet is to help support your child’s learning at

home during this time. With homeschool being new

for many parents, I wanted to give you the freedom

to plan your days. Each subject has five tasks for

each week. Your child can do all in one day or one

a day. The most important thing is that they are

engaged and excited about learning. If you both

get frustrated, it won’t work. So, let’s take some

pressure off you! Each week there is a theme for

each subject. This will help your child to really focus

and to prevent you from hopping all over the place.

This guide is very user friendly and written with both

parent and student needs in mind. You will need

internet for your child to do this work. If you are

receiving this by email, you can click the blue links. If

not, there is a links page with all links listed. You will

also need to go to brainpop.com and sign up for a

free membership. Click family when given the

option. This is a great website for your child to play

on at any time. It is full of wonderful academic

vocabulary and kids love it. Please let me know if

you have any questions. I am here to help. We will

get through this together!

Math Games Directions❖ 2 dice addition: Roll two dice. Add the numbers together. Write the number

sentence. Ex. 2+3=5

❖ 2 card addition: Pick up two playing cards. Add the numbers together. Write the

number sentence. Ex. 2+3=5

❖ Make Ten Memory: Turn over two number cards. If they equal ten when adding

them together, you get to keep the cards. If they don’t turn them back over and

pick two new cards. Keep playing until you make ten with all the cards possible.

❖ Make Tens Go Fish: Each player gets ten cards. Use two cards to make sets of

ten. When it is your turn, ask for a card that you need to make ten. For example:

You have a 3. You could ask for a 7. If you get a 7, put your set of ten down. First

player to make their five sets wins.

❖ Make Ten Dice & Cards: Roll the die. Then, turn over a card from the playing

card stack and see if you make ten. If you do, keep the card and go again. If

you don’t, your turn is over. The winner has the most cards at the end of the

game.

❖ Roll and count for money: Roll a die or dice and count out that many pennies. If

you use two dice, use a nickel and pennies.

❖ Cards and money: Turn over a playing card. Count out the correct amount of

money. If it’s less than five, use pennies. If it’s more than five, use pennies, nickels

or a dime.

❖ 1’s and 5’s: Roll the die. Every time you roll a one, get a penny. Every time you roll

a five, get a dime. Roll the die 20 times and see if you have more pennies or

nickels when you are done.

❖ Race to a Dollar: Roll the die and count out that much change. Keep rolling until

you get to a dollar. Exchange your pennies when you get a larger quantity. Ex.

exchange 25 pennies for a quarter.

❖ 2 dice subtraction: Roll 2 dice. Subtract the smallest number from the biggest

number. Write the number sentence. Ex. 7-5=2

❖ 2 card subtraction: Put down two playing cards. Subtract the smallest number

from the biggest number. Write the number sentence. Ex. 7-5=2

❖ Hand full of pennies: Get a bag of ten pennies. Reach in and grab a few. Now,

give half away to another player. Write your number sentence. Ex. 5-3=2

❖ Roll to the hour: Roll the die. Find the number on the clock. Write the hour. For

example: Roll a 5, find 5:00 on the clock and write 5:00.

❖ Playdough Hands: Pick a number card. Use playdough to make the hands on

the clock correctly. Ex. pick up a 4 and use playdough to put hands on the 12

and 4 for 4:00.

❖ Which is later?: Put down two number cards; Cover the hours on the clock with a

penny. Which hour is later? For example: If you pick up the cards 2 and 7, put

pennies on the 2 and 7. Look at the clock. You can tell the 7 pas the 2 because

7:00 is later than 2:00.
