Learning Activities Grade 4 and 5

Suggested Learning Activities for Kindergarten and 1st Grade students during the COVID-19 school closure.

Seattle Public Schools is committed to making its online information accessible and usable to all people, regardless of ability or technology. Meeting web accessibility guidelines and standards is an ongoing process that we are consistently working to improve.

While Public Schools endeavors to only post documents optimized for accessibility, due to the nature and complexity of some documents, an accessible version of the document may not be available. In these limited circumstances, the District will provide equally effective alternate access.

Due to the COVID-19 closure, teachers were asked to provide packets of home activities. This is not intended to take the place of regular classroom instruction but will help supplement student learning and provide opportunities for student learning while they are absent from school. Assignments are not required or graded. Because of the unprecedented nature of this health crisis and the District’s swift closure, some home activities may not be accessible.

If you have difficulty accessing the material or have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher.

Dear students and family members,

The physical education team in continue to work with resources to help you stay physically active and healthy while our schools are closed. In order to meet physical education goals during this time students must be physically active for 60 minutes each day. Use this physical activity log to record your activity time.

Remember, activity time doesn't have to happen all at once. You can add up your total activity throughout the day to equal 60 minutes. Students, at the end of each day ask a family member to sign next to the day's total activity. Then, return the finished log to your physical education teacher when school is back in session.

Each week 12 new Physical Education Videos will be created and made available on SPS TV (channel 28). These videos will be shown at specific times throughout the day. Each video has been created to provide an opportunity for safe, developmentally appropriate physical activity within the home environment. 1n addition, each video includes grade-level appropriate academic content. Examples of topics for each week could include cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, healthy balanced diet, skeletal system and various other learnings that students receive in our effective physical education classrooms in Seattle Public Schools

In physical education students can continue to expand their learning by using all domains of language. Here are a few suggestions for the activities that are on the Drop Everything And Move (DEAM) calendar.

Draw a picture ofyourself doing an activity and label. Tell step-by-step instructions on how to do one ofthe activities. Write step-by-step instructions on how to do one ofthe activities. Explain how you might change this activity to be easier. Or harder. Predict ifyou think this will be challenging for you. Stay active and stay well.

Sincerely, Lori S Dunn PreK-12 Physical Education and Health Literacy Program Manager SPS

All Grades

Physical Education Seattle Public Sclwols

Children and adolescents ages 6 through 17 years should do 60 minutes (one hour) or more of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity daily. It is important to provide young people opportunities and encouragement to participate in physical activities that are appropriate for their age, that are enjoyable, and that offer variety. • Aerobic: Most of the 60 minutes or more per day should be either moderate- or vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity and should include vigorous-intensity physical activity on at least 3 days a week. Some aerobic activities include brisk walking, running, climbing stairs, jumping jacks, playing basketball, and dancing. • Muscle-strengthening: As part of their 60 minutes or more ofdaily physical activity, children and adolescents should include muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week. Some muscle-strengthening includes squats, leg lifts, and sit-ups. • Bone-strengthening: As part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity, children and adolescents should include bone-strengthening physical activity on at least 3 days a week. Some bone-strengthening activities include push-ups, push-ups against a wall, and jumping.

A single session of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity can reduce blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, improve sleep, reduce anxiety symptoms, and improve some aspects of cognition on the day that it is performed. Most of these improvements become even larger with the regular performance of moderate-to vigorous physical activity. Other benefits, such as disease risk reduction and improved physical function, accrue within days to weeks after consistently being more physically active

Intensity of Physical Activity Intensity refers to the rate at which the activity is being performed or magnitude of the effort required to perform an activity or exercise. It can be thought of "How hard a person works to do the activity." The intensity ofdifferent forms of physical activity varies between people. The intensity of physical activity depends on an individual's previous exercise experience and their relative level of fitness.

The Visual & Performing Arts team in Seattle Public Schools has put together arts activities that you can do while schools are closed. This week has simple activities in music, theatre, visual art, and mindfulness that students can do by themselves or with someone else. They can pick one activity and do it throughout the week or pick a new one each day. We have designed the activities so that they require minimal materials (things you can find inyour home) and some that have links to websites.

We want English learnersto continue to engage in the arts. The arts are a great way in which we incorporate all domains of language, reading, writing, speaking and listening. When your child has created an art project, think about ways that they can describe what they have done. Asking saying things like, "Can you tell me more?" or "Describe what you have-done." are great ways your student can use rich and descriptive language. Students could add labels to their creations. This work can all be done in your home language or English!

How much art should I do? • Students should engage in 60 minutes of any arts discipline per week to meet elementary standards in the arts. You can always do more! • Making art doesn't have to happen all at once as students can create in small 10-minute sections or stay with it for as long as they like.

Why is art making Important right now? • The arts are a way to express thoughts and feelings. • The arts help students say what cannot be said by showing it in different ways. • The arts are a way for students to show multiple perspectives and that all perspectives matter. • The arts are a way for students to engage in other subjects. For example, create a play about the immune system, draw a picture for the beginning, middle, and end of a story, or create a rhythm for how they are feeling.

Thank you for keeping the arts as partof your child's education while we're on this break away from school. Explore. Engage. Have fun!

Sincerely, Gail Sehlhorst Visual & Performing Arts Program Manager VISUAL & PERFORMING ARTS for March 30 -April 3, 2020

GRADES4-5

MUSIC • Use the rhythms found in a poem to create a musical composition to play on an instrument or sing. • Listen to multiple pieces of music and describe which one is the most pleasing. • Perform or listen to a piece of music that changes tempo between slow, medium, and fast. Examine how the changes can affect the mood of a piece.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Below are helpful reminders when practicing your instrument: • Practice in a place where you can concentrate. • Schedule a regular practice time every day. • Maintain good posture by using a straight back chair or stand up to practice. • Position music at eye level when you practice- a music stand is recommended. • Start with warming up with long tones (blowing/bowing several long notes with a full, steady tone). • Focus on the music that is most difficultto play. then move on to that which is easier and more fun. • Review note names at sight using a variety of methods (method book, work sheets, flash cards and/or online games, etc.). • Extra- make up your own tune or play-by-ear a melody you like. • If possible, listen to recording of musicians playing your instrument for modeling good tone and gaining inspiration.

Play a game to practice note reading! https://www.teachingideas.co.uk/notation/name-that-note

Listen to the Seattle Symphony with the whole family. They will be live-streaming concerts. Here's a link to their YouTube page. https://www.youtube.com/seattlesymphony

THEATRE • Perform a play using shadow puppets. • Mirror Exercise: Pair up actors. One actor is the mirror and must copy everything the other actor does • Act out your favorite storybook and put on a play for your family.

VISUAL ART Recyclable projects: Take everyday items like cardboard tubes, lids, egg cartons, boxes and plastic packaging, tape and/or glue and make a sculpture. Drawing & Painting/writing prompts: • Create one still life or self-portrait every day looking in a mirror and practicing observation techniques. • Illustrate a daily journal • Go to a window in your home. Draw everything you see out the window. Remember that things up close are bigger than things far away. Remember about overlapping, too! • • Trace around something small and circular, such as a toilet pa per tube, or yogurt container. Trace 20 circles. Make each circle into something different- a pizza, a flower, a happy face, etc. • Take a box or can from your cupboard. Wrap paper around the outside to cover the label. Then draw your own new label. Think of something new, funny, disgusting or delightful that you wish were in the box or can. Advertise itwell on the outside so people will want it! (ex. Noodle Worm Soup with Muddy Meatballs) 1nvent: • What can this become? Start with any shape (hand, circle, square, even just a mark) and use your imagination to turn the shape or mark into something • Fold, crease, repeat. Make many of the same folded creation (crane, heart, fortune teller, paper airplane) and turn it into a paper sculpture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z· BIL6p1Te8

MINDFULNESS ACTIVITIES • Practice kind thoughts by prompting your child to think of 5 people they'd like to send kind wishes to. • Bang on a pot/pan and invite your child to signal to you when they no longer hear the sound 'hanging' the air. • Squeeze and 1et go, tensing different muscles in the body for 5 seconds and then slowing releasing. • Explore textures in nature, take a walk to collect several different objects and observe/describe how each feels. • Have your child give you the 'weather report' on how they're feeling, "I'm dark and cloudy with some raindrop tears coming out''. • Take a mindful walk pointing out sights and sounds along the way. • Explore touch by choosing several objects, then comparing the difference in how they feel dry vs. wet. • Slow down by having a snack in 'slow motion' and taking notice of the taste throughout. • Try 'buddy breathing' and invite your child to grab a toy/stuffed animal to place on their tummy while they lay down and take slow breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth. • Explore emotion by prompting your child to scan their body when experiencing a feeling, and describe where they feel it the most. • Sit-down with your •Child and 'color your feelings' together .depict1ng •each-emotion with a new color. • Listen to some music and see how many different instruments you can each hear.

You may have seen this game played in one of the lesson videos on the Seattle Public Schools website. Here's how to play:

Materials and set up • Write math problems on the end ofpopsicle sticks or Strips of stiff paper or cardboard. • Write KABOOM I on several of the sticks - at least one for each person who is playing - maybe more. • Put all of the popsicle sticks into a cup• writing side down • so students can't see what is written on them. • 2 or more players Play 1. A student pulls out a popsicle stick.

2. The student identifies the answer or a correct response. Iftheir answer is correct (determined by fact table or their peers) theyget to keep the popsicle stick. If they answer it incorrectly, the stick must go back in the cup.

3. The students continue around the circle, selecting one popsicle stick at a time and answering their question.

4. Any student who pulls a KABOOM! stick has to place all of the popsicle sticks they have accumulated back into the cup, leaving them with zero. (It may sound harsh, but it happens OFTEN, so all students will at some point get "Kaboomed!"

S. The game NEVER ENDS because eventually someone will get a Kaboom! and their popsicle sticks will go back into the cup to keep the game going.

Variations This game can be played with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, larger numbers, smaller numbers like fractions or decimals, and also with coins, and even to identify fractions.

Ecosystem Restoration: Matter and Energy in a Rain Forest

------Hello Families, We have been thinking of you and hope you and your family are well and safe during this time. Being at home is different than HAVING to be at home and we wanted to offer you instructional opportunities. If we were at school, we'd be in a 5th grade classroom beginning a study on ecosystems but since we're all at home, you are welcome to invite family members to join you in these series of lessons. We all know learning is more fun when we share our ideas and learn from one another. Amplify science is the science program we have been using in some of our classroom this year. It is our officially adopted instructional material for science. A collaboration between the science education experts at University of california Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science and the instructional technology experts at Amplify, Amplify Science was built to empower students to investigate, talk, read, write, think, and argue like real scientists and engineers through investigations of real­ world problems and scientific phenomena. While Amplify Science lessons are designed to be done in the classroom with peers, there are some activities that students can complete at home with your support. To make it as easy as possible to do these activities at home, I am providing you with the following resources: • Lesson Overview. The activities I am sending are all part of larger lessons. The full lesson would be very difficult to do at home, but I have provided the lesson overview so that you have some context for the purpose of the individual activity. • Packet for the specific activity in the lesson. This will provide step-by-step instructions ifyou wish to guide your students through the activity. Please note, however, that the instructions will only be included for the specific activity I have assigned. Not the whole lesson.

Use the space to write about what you already know. You can also write questions you might have about eco stems.

This is not a test! If you are stuck on the question, then look outside and write down the things you see in the ecosystem that is what you are looking at when you look outside! And the longer you look, the more you11 see.

4 We can think of ecosystems as places where animals and plants live together in their environment. There are many different kinds of ecosystems, and different types of living things live in different ecosystems. Let's think about a few examples.

What living things do you think we would find in a rain forest ecosystem? What might those living things need to grow?

What living things do you think we would find in a desert ecosystem? What might those living things need to grow?

Desert in Signal Peak, Arizona, United States

6 In these lessons, we will gather evidence ,. to answer this question. It's okay ifyou .don't understand all the words in this Unit Question question yet-you will learn about them in How do organisms in an ecosystem get the I this unit. The question means that we will be investigating how living things in an matter and energy they need to grow and thrive? ecosystem grow and what they need to be healthy.

Families, there is no need for your child to fully understand these ideas yet. These 1 I lessons build on each other and help your child ''grow" their learning and understandino.

These are ecologists. Ecologists observe ecosystems ecologist and their parts In order to draw conclusions. In this unit, we will take on a scientist who studies ecosystems the role of ecologists.

This unit of study includes a Simulation. A simulation is a computer program. Ecologists and othet scientists often make and use simulations to study things they cannot measure directly. Simulations also allow scientists to speed up time to study outcomes, or events that happened in the past, like when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Scientists also use simulations to study our solar system and the galaxy because we cannot study these in a lab nor go out to such places like distance planets or black holes. If you have access to a computer and the internet, then do visit the sim and think about how this sim like an ecosystem. Use this space below for your observations and questions.

7 it's c1 Wrap'

Thank you for spending time with me and thinking about ecosystems. We have covered a lot! We first thought about these two different ecosystems. You can also look out your window and ask the very same question about the ecosystem where you live. What living things do you think we would find in your ecosystem? What mightthose living things need to grow?We also learned about how ecologists study ecosystems and in our next lesson, we'll take on the role of an ecologist and look at a problem happening in a Costa Rican rainforest. Here is some space for you to write about your ecosystem.

8 Lesson 1.2: Today. we will learn about a problem with the ecosystem in Costa Rica. We can see from this map that Costa Rica is a country in Central America. Is your family from Central America? Do you know someone from Costa Ric.a?

Costa Rican Rain Forest Ecosystem

These are some of the living things found in the Costa Rican rain forest.

We will take on the role of ecologists working for Natural Resources Rescue, a group that works to protect and save fragile ecosystems around the world. Let's take a closer look at the area we are studying.

Today 10 years ago 9 - -~ -

The first photo shows the study area 10 years ago. It used to be a healthy rain forest. Then, cattle ranchers burned down the rain forest so they could use the land as grazing area for their cows. Have you heard of this happening before? What are positive and negative consequences to these actions? The second photo shows the same area today. A few years ago, the cattle ranchers left and took the cows with them. They planted trees so the area would become a rain forest again. The plan was to reforest this area so it could become part of the ecosystem again. Our group, the Natural Resources Rescue, worked with volunteers to replant the area. They brought in young cecropia trees and other important rain forest plants and planted them. However, the area was not recovering like we had expected it to; we looked at a nearby area to compare. Here is what we found:

Ja uars Three-toed sloths Cecro ia trees

What do you notice about the information in the above table?

We learned more:

Averijge weight of adult animals in our ,· stud area '!.. .:.' Ja uars 168 k Three-toed sloths 4.42 k

What does this information tell you about our study area and the nearby, healthier one?

Why aren't the jaguars and sloths growing and thriving? What do they need from their ecosystem? Why are they not getting what they need? Our task will be to find out what is happening in this reforested area. Before we do that, we need practice doing what ecologists do by observing and discussing scientific drawings of ecosystems. Observe and discuss the illustrations with an available family member. Then record your own ideas by adding labels, writing notes, or both. You can do this on your own as well.

13 After you have completed the 3 pages, look back and think about these questions: What did you obseave in each of the ecosystems? How were the ecosystems similar, and how were they different from each other and from the one outside your window? We will read a book called, Matter Makes it All Up, to help us think about the jaguars and sloths. While we read, we want to think about how is it that animals grow, this will help us to answer the bigger question about our study site. Notes that on page 5, it says that everything in an ecosystem is made of billions and trillions of atoms and molecules that are too small to see. As you read pages 6-11, think about the question: How do animals grow? Use the photos, diagrams, and captions to help you understand. Accessing the book online

Based on what you read, Based on this page, how would you what is matter? describe the matter found in where you are right now?

Add this to your description: Matter is the stuff things are made of! We'll talk --· more about this stuff. Matter is made up of tmy atoms that are too s.maB to see. This is more from page 5. There are many d11ferent kinds of atoms. and thesealoms can combine to fOfm a huge number of different kinds of mot.cutes. lnd1YidUDl1y. atoms and molecules are too small to see_However. billions and trillions of atoms and molecules together can ma~up a rock. a tree. a bird, or even an alligator,

The muscle is made up of This ls a dose-up smaller parts. Those parts are ofa muscle as made up of even smaller parts, seen through a microscope. which are made up of molecules. Those molecules are made up at atoms. It's all matter! Here Is an even closer view of the matterthat makes up a muscle. What are some of the things mentioned in the book that are made of matter (that stuff)? And what is also matter that we cannot see? Return to the text, that's why it is there? Record them here.

Keep in mind that everything is made of matter. Matter is made of molecules. You will need to following pages to complete the next activity. Page 8: A full-grown alligator may weigh 360 kilograms (800 pounds). That's a lot of matter! Where does it all ..-...... r-~ come from? How does an alligator grow to be so big? Alligators and 1 other animals never stop growing. Even an adult animal that has stopped getting bigger keeps growing new skin and blood. If an animal gets wounded our breaks a one, its body can grow to repair the damaged parts. Page 9: All that new bone, muscle, blood, and skin doesn't just appear from nothing.

That's how animals grow. The new matter needed for growth comes from what an animal eats. Food s also made of matter. When an animal eats food, it is eating billions and billions of atoms and molecules. These atoms and molecules are all matter that the animal uses to grow. Inside the animal's body, the food molecules are broken down and used to build new molecules that make up bone, blood, muscle, skin, and other body parts. Page 10 Not all the matter that an animal eats gets added to the animal's body. Some of the matter isn't used by the animal. This matter ends up as different kinds of waste, including droppings. More important, the animal uses some of the food matter to get energy. (Animals need energy to move and do all of the things animals do.) When an animal uses matter to get energy, that matter is changed and released as gases into the air. (p. 11)

The First World Trade Center By Shana Brown

Long before anyone had heard of New York City or the stock exchange, tribes along the Columbia River operated their own world trade center. It was called Celilo. Celilo Falls was located in what is now the town of The Dalles, Oregon. Since time immemorial, tribes as far north as Alaska, as far east as the Great Lakes, and possibly as far south as Northern California gathered and traded at this sacred fishing ground. People bought, sold and traded products from their homelands with the tribes who fished along the Columbia River and with those who traveled to the trade center too. For more background information see http://www.columbiarivergorge.info/

With the settlement of t he West came non-Indian commerce. There were conflicts that were mostly resolved through the United States court system. In various court cases, the United States defended the treaty rights of local tribes against encroachment of non­ Indians, commercial fisheries, and often the states of Oregon and Washington. Often, though, the United States was slow to act or enforce the laws that the U.S. Government helped to create.

In the late 1930s, the U.S. Government itself wanted to control the Columbia River, subdue it, and use its massive power for Hydroelectric power generated by dams. They also wanted the Columbia's water for irrigation supplied by reservoirs that were created as a result of building those dams. This would destroy most of the sacred tribal fishing grounds, including Kettle Falls and Celilo Falls. By treaty, tribes were entitled to fish at "usual and accustomed" fishing grounds. This included sites along the Columbia River. So, if the United States just started building the dams without permission from the tribes, they would be violating their treaties with those tribes. In short, they would be breaking their own laws. The demands for electricity and water for irrigation were not going to go away. The U.S. Government had to respond.

Another group of people who wanted to use the river was commercial fishers, non-Indian businesses who sold fish for profit. They built their fisheries along the Columbia River too, and instead of using the traditional scaffolds and dip nets, as tribal fishers had done for centuries, they used fishing wheels. These wheels harvested much more fish than the traditional way the Indians used. As a result, there were conflicts between the Indians and the non-Indian fishers. Where commercial fishers built their fisheries and how they

Since the government had no formal agreements with the commercial fisheries, the fisheries really were not a part of the negotiation, though they watched closely to see what the future had in store for their businesses. These three groups of people all wanted to use Nichi Wana (the Wasco word for the Columbia, meaning "big Find out more about the water." The Bonneville Power Administration, or Bonneville Power BPA had already dammed several portions of the Administration at: Columbia River, and so many tribes knew what might https: //www.bpa.gov/ news/ be coming. Currently, there was already a canal built aboutus/pages/default.aspx around Celilo Falls so that non-Indian commerce and enterprises could develop.

Under the Rivers and Harbors Act, the U.S. Government, through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), negotiated a settlement with the tribes whose custom it was to fish and trade at Celilo. This settlement required two things from the government: • Fair compensation for the economic, cultural and religious loss of Celilo; and • In lieu fishing sites, or at least 60 areas along the Columbia for tribal people to continue to harvest salmon. The government would either find new fishing sites or build them for the Indian people. The BIA negotiated a 27 million dollar compensation for the tribes' loss. However, Celilo Village still languishes I disrepair, and the in lieu fishing sites are not adequate to sustain tribal life.

Tribes felt they had no choice but to negotiate. Much like the non-Indian settlement on their lands just 100 No compensation could be years earlier, they knew that if they refused to made which would benefit negotiate some sort of compensation for their sacred my future generations, the falls, the falls would be taken nonetheless, and the people still to come. tribes would receive nothing in return. Watson Totus (Yakama) during The Wyam people, however, did not sign the the appropriations hearings for negotiation. Chief Tommy Thompson said he would The Dalles Dam, 7 May 1951 not sell it.
