Learning Activities Kindergarten and 1st Grade
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 Seattle 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.

Estimados Estudiantes y Familias:
En las siguientes actividades de aprendizaje, encontrará materiales para practicar destrezas de arte del lenguaje Ingles, matemáticas,
ciencias, artes y educación física para los niveles de grado K y 1. Las actividades en el paquete de aprendizaje de esta semana están
alineadas con el contenido de nivel de grado y la programación educativa transmitida en SPS TV, redes sociales y nuestro sitio web.
Estos materiales sirven como suplementos y extensiones al aprendizaje de su hijo y no reemplazan la instrucción en el aula. No son
obligatorios ni serán calificados, y los estudiantes deben revisar cada página a su propio ritmo. Tenga en cuenta que, según la
disponibilidad y el estado del personal, el horario de transmisión está sujeto a cambios.

Gửi các em học sinh và các quý phụ huynh thân mến:
Trong các hoạt động học tập sau đây, quý vị sẽ tìm thấy các tài liệu để rèn luyện các kỹ năng từ Ngữ Văn, Toán, Khoa Học, Nghệ
thuật, và Thể dục cho các cấp lớp K và 1. Tập hoạt động học tập trong tuần này được quy theo với nội dung cấp lớp và chương trình giáo dục phát trên SPS TV, kênh truyền thông xã hội và trang web của chúng tôi. Những tài liệu này đóng vai trò bổ sung và phát huy
việc học tập của con em quý vị, nhưng không thay thế cho việc giảng dạy tại lớp học. Các hoạt động này sẽ không có chấm điểm và
cũng không cho điểm, và học sinh nên làm từng hoạt động theo trình độ của riêng mình. Xin lưu ý lịch phát sóng có thể thay đổi dựa
The Visual & Performing Arts team in Seattle Public Schools has put together arts lessons to
continue learning while we are away from school. This week has lessons in Visual Art, Music,
and Elementary Instrumental Music. We have designed the lessons so they require minimal
materials (things you can find at home).
We want English learners to 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?
• To meet elementary standards in the arts, students should engage in 60 minutes per week
of the arts discipline(s) taught at their school. 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.
