Our first story today is Zin! Zin! Zin! a Violin by Lloyd Moss, illustrated by Marjorie Priceman
This story is more like one long poem. As you are listening to the story, think about how musicians might work together to make music. Can you name some instruments? You are going to learn the names of so many as you listen to the story. You are also going to learn some other words such as, trio, quintet, and octet.

Questions to ask following the reading.
Who was watching the concert? Do you think the audience liked the concert? At the end of the story the audience yells "Encore!". What do you suppose encore means?

WRITING
There were so many different instruments in the story. I want you to think about what your favorite instrument was. You might have to listen to the story more than once. I want you to write about your favorite instrument. Tell why you would like to play that instrument or why you liked it.
The following are example sentences that you can use.
My favorite instrument was the_______________________________because___________________.
I would like to play a ___________________________________ because_______________________.
Remember to begin with a capital letter, spaces between your words, and punctuation at the end of your sentence.

Math
Please complete Activity 4-16. If you aren't able to print, you can hold up fingers and ask your child to identify how many you are holding up. Today is addition practice and identifying 10-frames and matching numbers.
This is an optional activity

Addition Playing Game
What You Need: 1. Deck of Playing Cards 2. Two sheets of paper 3.Ruler 4. Tape 5. Coloring Markers 6. Markers( beans, coins, etc.) 7. Two or more players |
What You Do:
1. Create your own game board by taping two sheets of paper together vertically. Then, using a ruler, help your child create one column for each player. Each column should contain 30 squares from the bottom of the paper to the top ( more if you want a challenge). Draw a "winner's circle" at the very top. 2. Write the numbers 1-30 in order in the squares ( again, more if you want a challenge). This is a good opportunity to have the players help you count out loud. 3. Players put their markers just below the first square at the bottom of the game board. 4. Ask one of the players to remove the face cards and shuffle the deck of cards. Place it face down on the table, next to the board. 5. Players take turns choosing a card from the pile and moving the amount of squares forward towards the winner's circle. 6. ** If a player lands on the same number space as his competitor, they get sent back to the start. 7. The first player to get their marker in the winner's circle wins! Variation: Have the players choose two cards at each turn and add them together for the number of space they move. Or, have them subtract the lesser of the two cards for how many spaces they get to move. |
