KINDERGARTEN INSTRUCTIONAL COLLECTION

Dear Cobb County Families,

In an effort to support learning continuity, during our extended time away from school, the Cobb County School District has created Instructional Resource Collections for our Kindergarten through 8th Grade students. The enclosed resources provide developmentally appropriate, standards-based activities for students to work on at home. Your student is not required to complete every activity in the packet. However, these resources do support a learning experience that is tied to the academic standards of your child’s grade level. Additionally, there are informational resources that will provide opportunities and support for you, as you continue to support your child in the learning process. Thank you for your continued partnership. We are eager to welcome our students back to school soon.

Regards,

The Cobb County School District

Learning at Home Activities for Grades K-2

Reading/Writing

Read Outside Grab a few books and head outside. Read independently or read with a parent, friend, or family member for 20 minutes.

ABC Nature Walk Go on a walk around your neighborhood or backyard with a parent, friend, or family member. Look for something to represent each letter of the alphabet.

Writing with your Senses Go outside and write what you see, hear, feel, and smell. Then, write a narrative that takes place in the same area you just explored. Incorporate sensory details into your writing.

Action Verb Charades All players write down five action verbs (i.e. run, walk, sing, dance) on separate pieces of paper and place them in a bowl. Each player pulls a verb and acts it out. The player that correctly identifies the verb goes next! After the game create a silly story using as many of the verbs as possible.

Use Nature to Create Letters or Words Use items found in nature such as rocks, sticks, or flower petals to create letters or words.

Math

Scavenger Hunt Go for a walk and identify 2 of each of the following shapes: circle, square, rectangle, and triangle. Can you find any three-dimensional shapes (cube, cone, cylinder, etc.)?

Math Snacks As you have a snack, think of 3 addition and subtraction problems you can make by grouping some of the snack items together or taking some away. Write down the number sentences (5+3=8) as you munch away.

Create a Game Use dice or playing cards to create a math game using addition and/or subtraction.

Draw a Robot Draw a robot using shapes. Label all the shapes and then create a story about your robot.
