person going today based on the objects in the picture?  

● What clues from the picture helped you figure out the answer? 

AND Complete a Blending Activity in the attached pages. 

Write in your journal about some of the things you have been doing since we have not been in school. How are you feeling about the quarantine? What is your favorite part of being at home with your family? What is your least favorite part about being at home all the time?   Make sure to check each sentence for capital letters, spaces, punctuation, correct spelling, and if your sentence makes sense. 

Show students a clock with an hour hand and minute hand. Explain that the hour hand is the shorter hand and the minute hand is the long hand. Explain that when the minute hand is on the 12 we say “o’clock.” Explain that the minute hand must go around the clock one time to change the hour. When the minute hand goes around the clock one time that is one hour, or 60 minutes. Complete the worksheets labeled 13-1 in the attached pages to practice using the hour and minute hand.  AND Practice addition or subtraction flashcards.

 ***Answer to cow questions from Wonderopolis.org:  That’s right, cows are strong swimmers! Don’t believe us? Just ask anyone who works with cattle. They’ll tell you that many cows swim just as well—if not better—than people do. In some cases, cows swim across bodies of water as part of normal farming practices. For example, a herd of cattle in Ireland swim across a large lake each year to graze. Ranchers lead the cows on the nearly 330 foot-long (100 meters) swim every summer. Cows aren’t the only surprising swimmers in the animal kingdom. Would you believe that cats, sheep, and pigs are also strong swimmers? It’s true! Despite their dislike of water, cats can swim when necessary. And pigs enjoy it so much that they can be found swimming in the waters of their very own coastline in the Bahamas—a place called Pig Beach! Even some very large mammals are good swimmers. One example is elephants. Some experts even believe the elephant’s trunk evolved as a natural snorkel. They’ve been observed swimming nearly 30 miles (50 kilometers) at one time. Other mammals would much rather remain on dry land. Most experts don’t believe giraffes can swim, although there’s not much evidence either way. And mankind’s closest relatives—chimpanzees—won’t be winning Olympic gold anytime soon, either.
