Week 3: At Home Learning ResourcesThis week is all about getting creative with items around the house!
1. Learn more about our distance learning plans for April 2. Read at home for 20 minutes every day: Flashlight Reading 3. Keep a Journal! 4. Make your own playdoh |
1. Following the TCSD closure schedule, TLC will remain closed through at least April 17th. However, we are still here to support our students and families. To learn more and help your children access TLC's Distance Learning, click here.
2. Flashlight Reading: Who doesn't love a good fort building session? Grab some blankets and pillows and create a comfy fort in your home on a snowy day. Then grab a flashlight and have your child read to you or read to them! Sometimes changing up the scenery is all you need to make reading come alive!
3. Keep a Journal: If your child isn't already keeping a journal, now is a great time to start! We are living through a global event that will be written about in history books. By keeping a journal of their activities, feelings, fear, hopes, and pictures of what it is like to be at home during this time period, they are creating historical documents! Those journals could even one day be included in a museum or history text book about what it was like for a kid during the COVID-19 pandemic.
4.Have fun making your own Play Dough! A kid favorite! All you use is simple kitchen ingredients and there is no cooking required. As you make your playdough, discuss how you measure your ingredients and what you think would happen if you used different amount of certain ingredients! Click here for an easy recipe or find it below
Ingredients:
1 cup of flour
1/4 cup of salt
3/4 cup of water
3 tablespoons of lemon juice
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Food coloring
Any seasonings or scents you would like
Making the Play Dough:
Add the water, oil and lemon juice to a medium non-stick pot and heat on medium heat on the stove (maybe even slightly lower heat depending on your stove).
Add food coloring, liquid scents or Kool-Aid to the water mixture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and any dry seasonings you are using.
After the water is hot, but not boiling, slowly add the dry ingredients to the pot and while mixing to combine. I use a wooden or plastic cooking spoon.
Continuously stir until the ingredients combine, dry out and begin to form a ball. If there are parts that seem a bit sticky still, just flatten the dough out and put the sticky side down on the bottom of the pot very briefly. Flip back and forth frequently until it doesn’t seem sticky anymore. However, don’t cook it too long. It is better to be a bit undercooked as it will firm up as it cools down.
Place on a sheet of wax paper until it cools down a bit. Then knead the dough for a minute or two to bring it all together.
This all happens quite quickly. I can make a batch of play dough in less than 5 minutes and I am totally new to making play dough.

- Siguiendo el calendario de cierre de TCSD, el TLC permanecerá cerrado al menos hasta el 17 de abril. Sin embargo, todavía estamos aquí para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes y familias. Para obtener más información y ayudar a sus hijos acceder al aprendizaje a distancia de TLC, haga clic aquí.
- Lectura de linterna: ¿A quién no le gusta una buena sesión de construcción? Usa algunas mantas y almohadas y crea un fuerte cómodo en tu hogar en un día nevado. ¡Entonces usa una linterna y haz que tu hijo te lea o usted lee! ¡A veces cambiar el paisaje es todo lo que necesitas para que la lectura cobra vida!
- Mantenga un diario: Si su hijo aún no está llevando un diario, ¡ahora es un buen momento para comenzar! Vivimos a través de un evento global que se escribirá en los libros de historia. Al llevar un diario de sus actividades, sentimientos, miedo, esperanzas e imágenes de lo que es estar en casa durante este período de tiempo, ¡están creando documentos históricos! Esas revistas podrían incluso un día ser incluidas en un libro de texto de museo o historia sobre cómo era para un niño durante la pandemia COVID-19.
- ¡Diviértete haciendo tu propia masa de juego! ¡Es lo favorite de los niño! Todo lo que usas son ingredientes simples de la cocina y no se requiere cocción. A medida que haces tu masa de juego, habla de cómo medir sus ingredientes y lo que cree que sucedería si usted utiliza una cantidad diferente de ciertos ingredientes! Haga clic aquí para una receta fácil o enímesela a continuación
1 taza de harina
1/4 taza de sal
3/4 taza de agua
3 cucharadas de jugo de limón
1 cucharada de aceite vegetal
Colorante de alimentos
Cualquier condimento o aroma que desee
Hacer la masa de juego:
- Añadir el agua, el aceite y el jugo de limón a una olla antiadherente mediana y calentar a fuego medio en la estufa (tal vez incluso un poco más bajo el calor dependiendo de la estufa).
- Añadir colorante de alimentos, aromas líquidos o Kool-Aid a la mezcla de agua.
- En un tazón de mezcla, combine la harina, la sal y los condimentos secos que esté utilizando.
- Después de que el agua esté caliente, pero no hirviendo, agregue lentamente los ingredientes secos a la olla y mientras se mezcla para combinar. Yo uso una cuchara de cocina de madera o plástico.
- Revuelva continuamente hasta que los ingredientes se combinen y comiencen a formar una bola. Si hay partes que parecen un poco pegajosas todavía, sólo aplanar la masa y poner el lado pegajoso hacia abajo en la parte inferior de la olla muy brevemente.
- Dar la vuelta y volver con frecuencia hasta que ya no parezca pegajoso. Sin embargo, no lo cocines demasiado tiempo. Es mejor estar un poco poco cocido, ya que se reafirmará a medida que se enfríe.
- Colocar en una hoja de papel de cera hasta que se enfríe un poco. Luego amasar la masa por un minuto o dos para juntarlo todo.
- Todo esto sucede muy rápido. Puedo hacer un lote de masa de juego en menos de 5 minutos y soy totalmente nuevo en hacer masa de juego.

Week 2: At Home Learning ResourcesThis is week is all about reading aloud and experiments!
1. Article: Engaging Reluctant Readers 2. Read at-home for 20 minutes every day: Reader's Theater 3. Bumper Sticker Summary Game 4. Project Time: Hand Washing Experiment |
1. Is your child feeling reluctant to read over spring break? Check out this article from Scholastic on 5 ways to encourage children to read and check out this great list of virtual story times if they would prefer to listen to stories!
2. At Teton Literacy Center, we LOVE using Reader’s Theater scripts. It is such a great way to build fluency and reading skills! Plus it’s a chance to get the whole family reading. The key to reader’s theater is practice, practice, practice. Repeated reading is a great way to boost fluency. There are a ton of places to find scripts online, Reading A-Z and Teaching Heart . Just have your student choose a script and start performing.
Once you’ve gained a little experience with Reader’s Theater scripts online, you can create your own! Writing a script based on something kids have read makes an excellent family activity. I suggest you start with something simple and well known, like a favorite story or book. Bonus tip: although not necessary, have your student design costumes and a set to make their scripts come to life!

3. Bumper Stickers-A Summary Game
Summarizing teaches students how to pick out the most important ideas in a text. Teaching students to summarize improves their memory of what they read. Building summarizing strategies is important to help a student understand what they just read. When you read with your student, be sure to discuss the 5ws, who, what, when, where and why. Make this discussion fun with a summarizing game like bumper stickers. To start, students might not know what a bumper sticker is so show them a picture of a car with bumper stickers. Then, explain that bumper stickers get a short message across in a short amount of time, so the message can’t be too long but must be packed with a meaningful message. Think: “Keep Calm and Carry On!” Have your student think about how they’d sum up the text to create a bumper sticker. Cut some cardstock into strips and let them design a bumper sticker using the summary of a fiction story's message OR a non-fiction article's main idea or point. The best part about this game is, it can be funny and educational at the same time.

1. ¿Su hijo no esta dispuesto a leer durante las vacaciones de primavera? Echa un vistazo a este artículo de Scholastic sobre 5 maneras de animar a los niños a leer y echa un vistazo a esta gran lista de tiempos de historias virtuales si prefieren escuchar historias!
2. En Teton Literacy Center, AMAMOS usar los guiones de Reader’s Theatre. ¡Es una excelente manera de desarrollar fluidez y habilidades de lectura! Además, es una oportunidad para que toda la familia lea. La clave para el teatro del lector es practicar, practicar, practicar. La lectura repetida es una excelente manera de aumentar la fluidez. Hay muchos lugares para encontrar guiones en línea, Reading A-Z y Teaching Heart. Haga que su estudiante elija un guión y comience a actuar.
Una vez que haya adquirido un poco de experiencia con los guiones de Reader’s Theatre en línea, ¡puede crear los suyos! Escribir un guión basado en algo que los niños han leído es una excelente actividad familiar. Le sugiero que comience con algo simple y bien conocido, como una historia o libro favorito. Consejo adicional: aunque no es necesario, ¡haga que su estudiante diseñe disfraces y un set para que sus guiones cobren vida!

3. Resumir enseña a los estudiantes a elegir las ideas más importantes en un texto. Enseñar a los estudiantes a resumir mejora su memoria de lo que leen. Desarrollar estrategias de resumen es importante para ayudar al alumno a comprender lo que acaba de leer. Cuando lea con su estudiante, asegúrese de discutir los 5ws, quién, qué, cuándo, dónde y por qué. Haga que esta discusión sea divertida con un juego de resumen como pegatinas de parachoques. Para comenzar, los estudiantes pueden no saber qué es una calcomanías para el parachoques, así que muéstreles una foto de un automóvil con calcomanías. Luego, explique que las calcomanías de los parachoques reciben un mensaje corto en un corto período de tiempo, por lo que el mensaje no puede ser demasiado largo pero debe estar lleno de un mensaje significativo. Piensa: "¡Mantén la calma y continúa!" Haga que su estudiante piense en cómo resumirían el texto para crear una calcomanías para el parachoques. Corte algunas cartulinas en tiras y permítales diseñar una calcomanía para el parachoques usando el resumen del mensaje de una historia de ficción O la idea o el punto principal de un artículo de no ficción. La mejor parte de este juego es que puede ser divertido y educativo al mismo tiempo.
