Thursday home learning

Land forms

Good morning! Today in social studies you will watch a video on Brainpop Jr. about land forms. Mountains, valleys, canyons, and oceans are a few examples you will learn about. After the video you can choose to make your own map or do the Draw About It activity. What land forms do we have nearby and what land forms have you visited before?  We have such a big, beautiful world with so many different kinds of environments to explore!

Niagara Falls

 Here are a few places I have traveled to- the mighty Niagara Falls and majestic mountains in Yosemite and Grand Tetons. In the south west, I visited Monument Valley and a couple of my boys were lucky enough to trek among a very cool rock formation area known as the Wave!

Perhaps your family has pictures from places in the country or in the world that are examples of different land forms. It would be fun to look at those together or even at online photos of those places. How about using Google Earth?

Grand Tetons

El Capitan Yosemite

Monument Valley

The Wave

The assigned book today is called Charlie's Boat. You will read many words such as sail, stream, and boat that are examples of words with vowel teams. Remember, when two vowels 'go walking' the first one does the 'talking' and the second is silent. The related phonics video will show you more examples of words with vowel teams. Can you become a word detective and find those words in this book and other books that have a vowel team? Can you think of a few words that might break this rule? How about 'said'? That's a rule breaker- we just have to memorize that word by sight- it does not follow the phonics rule!

Don't forget to click on the tabs at the top of this page- your weekly words are there along with word work words. 

Happy learning,
