Baseball
Baseball is a fun game to play and watch. We call baseball
a pastime. Do you like baseball?
Baseball is played outside. It is nice to play in the sunshine,
but baseball games can sometimes be played when it is
late too. These players are from a long time ago.
These players do not have a bat. So they use a stick. They
are playing stickball!
Here is a female player. She just hit the ball. I hope she can
make it to all the bases. Let’s see if she can.
She IS racing fast! Is she going to get there in time? She
slides. She is safe!
He is diving for the ball. He is trying, but he cannot quite
catch it.
Here are the fans. They like to taste hotdogs as they watch
the game.
Do you like to play baseball?

Draw an illustration for the story. Write 1 sentence about the

Margo's Idea

Margo ate her toast and looked outside. She had an idea! She and
her dad would build a birdbath on the porch. Then she could watch
the birds.
Margo walked in the yard and found 25 rocks. She had to carry the
rocks to the porch. She filled her pockets with rocks, but her
pockets were too small. She filled her yellow pail with rocks, but the
pail was too heavy. Then she saw her red wagon under the tree.
She filled the wagon with rocks and pulled it to the porch. Now she
and her dad could put together her birdbath!

For this week's lesson, we're going to design and build a blanket fort! Blanket forts provide children of many ages with a
fun and engaging way to use their imaginations and creative problem-solving skills. They may also provide younger children with a quiet place to be alone and relax or deescalate and self-regulate their emotions.
1. Identify the problem and ask questions. How can I build a blanket fort? What materials do I need to build a blanket fort? What can I do in or how can I use a blanket fort?
2. Brainstorm ideas which might answer these questions.
3. Make designs! Draw pictures of how you would like your blanket fort to look and function.
4. Build your blanket fort based upon your design! See below for tips and directions.
5. After you've completed your fort, don't forget to share your results and show off your hard work!

Directions: Read about the United States below. Then, help your student use the map below
to answer some questions.
North America: The Unites States
The United States is part of
North America, along with
Canada, Mexico, and Central
America. The United States has
fifty states.
The United States is a country
with its own government and
laws. The government for the
United States is in the capital
city, Washington, D.C. Members
of the government meet in the Capitol Building. The president lives in the
White House, which is also in Washington, D.C.
If you were to travel across the United
States, you would see many different
kinds of landscapes. For example,
most New England states have
beautiful coastlines. Some New
England states have mountains and
lakes. The United States has many
large cities, such as New York City,
where millions of people live.
This year in first grade students have been learning about Communities and
Cultures. In these at home learning opportunities you can continue this
exploration. Some information may be review and some may be new. Feel free to
use any resources you have (such as the internet or books) to explore the topics
more each week. Each week will connect to the last as much as possible.

If you traveled to the southern part of the
United States, you would find that it is hotter
there than in the North. People like to vacation
in Florida, a state that is a long peninsula.
The Midwest has cornfields and dairy
farms. If you visited the Great Plains,
you would see that there are miles
and miles of flat land where wheat is
grown. The Rocky Mountain region
has—you guessed it—tall mountains
that stretch across a large part of
North America. The Southwest has
canyons and deserts, and the West
Coast has an awesome coastline.
To get to Alaska you would have to
drive or fly across Canada. In terms
of size, Alaska is the largest U.S.
state. The state of Hawaii is made up of tropical islands two thousand
miles away from California, in the Pacific Ocean. How might you get to
Hawaii?
1. Which continent is the United States a part of?
2. Describe the different types of landscapes in the United States.
3. Write the name of the country and state you live in.

SCIENCE-1 Hidden Seeds- Wheat, corn, barley, rice, and oats are grass plants that are staple sources of nutrition for cultures around
the world. The abundant seeds of those plants are the group of foods we call grains. You may have
examples of grains in your kitchen, perhaps as whole grains of rice or a tortilla made from flour.
Here are some places where another grain, corn, might be found in your kitchen. Tortillas, cereal, bread
flour, muffins, frozen corn, canned corn, popcorn, grits, cornstarch.
Activity Have your child look for examples of grains in your home. He or she can list the examples in the boxes
below or glue/tape collected small labeled sample to display in the box.
1st Grade Math Resources
1) Game: Hide an object
This is a fun game to practice combinations of 10.
Parents/caregivers: Put ten objects under a paper or behind your back. Then show your child only some of
those objects. Have your child tell you how many objects are still hidden. Repeat!
This game can be modified for any number combination.
2) Counting: Start at the number 67 and count to 120.
Try it again, this time counting backwards starting at 120 and ending at 67.
3) Identifying Numbers: Tell someone at home what the numbers below are:
54 73 13 102
21 115 126 22
4) Measurement
Is the top line longer than the bottom line? Circle Yes or No
Yes No
Is the top line longer than the bottom line?
Yes No
5) Ordering by Length
Order the pieces of yarn from shortest to longest. Draw the missing piece of yarn.
6) Comparing Objects
Compare the objects below: Explain to someone at home which is shorter? Which is longer?
7) Read and Draw
Clue 1: A yellow string is shorter than a blue string.
Clue 2: The blue string is shorter than the red string.
Clue 3: The yellow string is shorter than the red string.
8) Number Line
Write the missing numbers on the line.
8) Drawing objects: Draw 4 objects from around your home or outside in order from shortest to longest
Objects
9) Problem Solving: The ribbon is longer than the yarn. The yarn is longer than the string. The yarn and
the pencil are the same length. Draw the lengths of the objects next to their labels.
10) Basic Facts: Write a number to make the equation true. An equation is true when both sides of the
equal sign are equal to each other.
1. 4 + 5 = 8 + ______
2. ______ = 3 + 6 + 2
3. 10 – 1 = _____ + 9
4. _____ – 0 = 8 + 7
Say all the sounds in the word- "bat," you say, /b/ /a/ /t/
