Night Activities
This week the homework will center on night activities. The activities are appropriate for K-3, except as noted. Feel free to copy, cut and paste the assignments into your own word processor for sending home (or print this page).
Day 1
Have the children keep a journal of their activities every half hour from 5:00pm until bedtime. Click here for a sample form. Use the information tomorrow for graphing, grouping, etc.
Day 2
Nighttime can be a happy time or a scary time. Have the children write (dictate) three goods things that happen at night. Choose one to illustrate as their favorite. Place in a class book.
Day 3
Flashlights are used at night to help us find our way in the dark. List 10 other things we use to help us find our way in the dark.
Day 4
Next Sunday is Halloween. If your children go Trick-or-treating,
have the K-2 children make a list of candy they received for each
of the colors: red, blue, green, brown, purple, yellow, orange. For
the third graders, have them make an ABC list of the candy they received.
Bring both lists to school tomorrow. A sample
form for K-2 is here. A sample form for
third grade is here.
