Complete the Ordinal Numbers Colouring Page in attachments in email.

Find find 10 different coloured cars.  Line them up and push them off at the same time.  What colour was first, second, third etc.

Ask your family members to join you in a race.  Identify who came first, second, third etc.

Belonging and Contributing

Ask people in your family to play a game with you.  Pick someone to be the "nature guide"; they then pick up an item (something found naturally outside) and show it to the group. The group has 100 seconds to find a similar-looking item. The person with the most similar item is the new nature guide.

Visit Epic and read "Planting a Garden in the Spring".  Ask your parents to help you take the sunflower seeds that I have mailed you and plant them (You may have planted them a few weeks ago when you received them).  Remember what plants need to grow?  They need water and sunlight so make sure you pick the right spot to plant them.  Over the next few weeks, you will be doing some work as you care for and monitor the growth of your seeds.


Self-Regulation and Well-Being

Make a Healthy snack.  Here are some fun suggestions:

Rocket snacks


Watch the Epic Video "Go Bananas".  Then pick three different fruits or vegetables and conduct a survey.  Ask family members which they like best.  Remember to record your survey question and your choices.  Tally marks should be used to record the results of your survey.

Spend time outdoors.  Make sure you are getting your daily dose of vitamin "N".  Please take a picture of you enjoying time outdoors or participating in online learning and send them to me.

Problem Solving and Innovating

Jack Hartmann "Forces Can Push or Pull" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-SnC_WKsCg

Using materials that you can find in your home design something that flies.  Two options, but not limited to are kites and airplanes.  Some suggestions for materials are paper, string, straws, streamers, sticks, tape and etc.

Get creative and artistic and remember that designing is a process.  If your creation does not fly well the first time, make adjustments to your design and try again.

When you are done, have an adult take a picture and you can finish my sentence on the printed picture:  My ____ flew as high as....,
or you can do a "how to fly a kite/airplane video and send it to me.
