Mrs. Mirabelli's Kinder Class Assignments

For the Week of 5/3-5/10

Thank you to those who made it out to the parade on Friday! It was a wonderful kickoff to the weekend. I missed those of you who could not come! Our IB Profile for May is "knowledge". If your child has successfully mastered the lists of snap words, then go back to list 1A and write a sentence for each word. This Sunday, May 10, is Mother's Day. Below, there is a section in red that Moms should avoid!

Special Teacher pages: Mrs. Breen – Art, Mr. Cole-Music, Senora Loyaga-Spanish, Coach Red-P.E.

Opening Prayer:

God of knowledge,

We thank you for the wonder of our world and ourselves.

Be with us as we ask questions and learn.

Help us to understand.

Your world has so much for us to learn.

Thank you for this amazing world that lets us be life-long learners.

Amen.

For the Week of 4/19-4/24

I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the sunshine this weekend. As you know, we will continue online learning until June 4. In the beginning of this journey back in March, I said I would be collecting work upon our return to school. Seeing as we will not be back, if you haven't, could you please begin taking a picture of work and upload through Seesaw and/or complete Seesaw assignments for me to be to assess your child's learning. We will be assessing work for report cards in June, so it is important for me to see samples of work each week. Not every assignment needs to be photographed, as I do not have a checklist for your child. I just would like to see a few samples each week to make sure we are moving forward, especially in writing. 

Thank you for your continued cooperation with our guided reading groups. They have been very productive and I am seeing wonderful progress! In math, we are beginning Chapter 13: Patterns. There is a Parent Letter, Extra Practice, and Enrichment worksheets attached to this assignment page. I have not assigned them, but you can have your child do them at your own discretion. There are new Seesaw Math and English Language Arts activities uploaded daily, as well as books, read alouds, videos.

In regards to attendance, I do submit attendance daily, and no one has been counted absent. I have a lot of contact with your child through Zoom, as well as keeping track of students through Seesaw. I don't want to unnecessarily burden anyone with sending me a daily attendance email, as I am in daily contact with your child via the internet. If we have a Zoom meeting, you do not need to email me that you are present. As well as if your child is engaged in Seesaw on a daily basis, you do not need to email me either. Thank you for your cooperation!

WebPages your child should be engaged in over the course of the week are:

1. iReady
2. Raz-Plus/Reading A-Z, https://www.raz-plus.com/
3. Seesaw https://web.seesaw.me/

Special Teacher pages: Mrs. Breen – Art, Mr. Cole-Music, Senora Loyaga-Spanish, Coach Red-P.E.

Opening Prayer

Hail Mary

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

 IB Unit – Let’s Celebrate Easter! 

Family Daily Devotion for Holy Week

Day 1: Palm Sunday

https://youtu.be/O56CiH0dwLw

 Read aloud Mark 11:1-11

The Triumphal Entry

Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples and said to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately as you enter it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it and will send it back here immediately.’” And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it. And some of those standing there said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” And they told them what Jesus had said, and they let them go. And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it, and he sat on it. And many spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut from the fields. And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!”And he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. And when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

 Craft: Palm Branches (refer to pictures in email)

Materials:

green construction paper

scissors

tape

Cut your construction paper in ½ inch strips about half way down the length of the paper. Roll uncut end of paper into a tube and tape. Fluff top pieces of paper where you cut into strips to create palm branch.

Day 2: Holy Monday

Read aloud Mark 11:15-18

Jesus Cleanses the Temple

And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. And he was teaching them and saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you have made it a den of robbers.” And the chief priests and the scribes heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching.

Explain that this area of the temple was the place non-Jews could come to pray, but it had become a dirty, noisy, unworshipful place. Together, decorate a worshipful space in your home for Easter Week. Include a Bible, candles, and an area to display the items you’ll use this week. A small, bare tree branch laced with white Christmas lights makes a nice backdrop. You can review these items at the beginning of each devotion. Light the candles or turn on the lights only during devotions to keep it special and meaningful.

Day 3: Holy Tuesday

Read aloud Matthew 26:14-16

Jesus Anointed at Bethany

And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head. ⁴ There were some who said to themselves indignantly, “Why was the ointment wasted like that? ⁵ For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they scolded her. But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.”

This woman gave Jesus a gift that was very precious. We can give gifts that come from our heart, too. Have each family member share something he or she can do to honor Jesus. As each person shares, spray perfume into the air or on the person. Decorate a piece of paper and form a cylinder around the perfume bottle for display at your family worship space.

 Day 4: Holy Wednesday

Read aloud Matthew 26:14-16

Judas to Betray Jesus

Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray him.

 You’ll need:

30 dimes.

 Explain that Judas betrayed Jesus for about 120 days of wages. Let the kids count the dimes and place them at your family worship space.

Ask:

• Was Jesus’ life on earth worth more than 30 pieces of silver? Why or why not?
• What is the true value of Jesus’ life to our family?

Day 5: Maundy Thursday

Read aloud John 13:1-5

Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet

Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,  rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 

You’ll need:

a bowl

a bar of soap

paper towels 

Jesus washed feet to show his love. Have a bowl, a bar of soap, and paper towels ready. Take turns washing each other’s hands and drying them as you express love to each other. Display the soap at your family worship space.

Day 6: Good Friday

Read aloud Mark 15:21-39

The Crucifixion

 And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull). And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. And it was the third hour when they crucified him. And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.” And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!” ³¹ So also the chief priests with the scribes mocked him to one another, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross that we may see and believe. Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

 Fingerprint Cross (refer to pictures in email)

Supplies:

Assorted colors of paint

Day 7: Holy Saturday

Read aloud Mark 15:42-47 

Jesus Is Buried

And when evening had come, since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead. And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph. And Joseph bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and laid him in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Jesus, saw where he was laid.

You’ll need:

toilet paper

Take turns wrapping each other in toilet paper just as Jesus may have looked when prepared for burial. Talk about how the disciples might’ve felt when all their hopes seemed destroyed when Jesus died.

Ask:

What do you want to say to Jesus to thank him for dying for you?

Talk about how the burial isn’t the end of the story, but that it was a very sad day for Jesus’ friends.

 Day 8: Easter

Read aloud Luke 24:1-9

The Resurrection

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” ⁸ And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

Resurrection Rolls Recipe (refer to pictures in email)

Roll a marshmallow (White represents Jesus and His purity) in melted butter and dip it in cinnamon and sugar.  Talk about how Jesus' body was anointed with oil and spices.  Then wrap the marshmallow inside the Crescent Roll.  The roll represents the cloth that Jesus was wrapped in. Make sure you seal all the creases really well.  Tell them about how the tomb was sealed. Then place them in the oven (at 350 degrees) for 10 minutes.  Pretend the oven is the tomb and that 3 days passes while you wait.  We talked about how hard it is to wait for something special. When the rolls have cooled let them unwrap the Crescent Roll.
It's empty! Just like the tomb!
