Kindergarten Learning Menu Information: April 13th – April
24th
The Learning Menu provided last week was intended to be a slow
introduction into a learning routine for your child. We hope these
were helpful to you and provided meaningful review on grade level
skills. We have made some adjustments to the Learning Menu based on
recommendations from students, families, teachers, and OSPI.
Washington State’s Superintendent’s Office is recommending the
following for daily learning times:
- Kindergarten/1st Grade: 45 minutes a day - 2nd and 3rd Grade:
60 minutes a day - 4th and 5th Grade: 90 minutes a day
We will continue to adjust our menus based on this guidance and
as we get student, parent, and teacher feedback. Changes to the
attached Learning Menu include:
- Two-weeks of learning material- this menu supports instruction
through April 24th. Consider planning out with your child how and
when they will work on these activities throughout the two
weeks.
- New learning is introduced and the academic demand on students
has increased. - Students are asked to submit their work to an
assignment or two- we would love to see what
your children are doing so we can assess their understanding of
material and plan next steps. Directions for this are provided on
the menu.
- The Specialist Menu is grade level specific. Your kids can
pick one Specialist area every day or so to work with.
We would love your feedback on these menus! Please let your
child’s teacher know an answer to the Three Bears Question- is this
too little, just right, or too much? We understand that all of our
families are in different places right now and want to be
supportive to the social, emotional, and learning needs of your
children. Our teachers will continue to reach out in a variety of
ways- e-mail, phone, Zoom, and more! Please be sure to do your best
to stay in touch with your child’s teacher so that we can support
new instruction. If you have questions or concerns, please reach
out to your child’s teacher. Teacher e-mails are listed at the
bottom of each menu.

EXPLORING SOUND WITH A HOMEMADE KAZOO Exploring the sense of
sound is always a hit with kids young and old. Today, we’ll be
exploring sound with our own homemade kazoo from a cardboard tube,
a really fun STEM/STEAM activity for kids of all ages. MATERIALS
FOR HOMEMADE KAZOOS - Cardboard tube (old toilet paper roll or
paper towel roll) - Wax paper - Rubber band - Sharp pencil (or
other sharp object) to poke holes - Paint or other art supplies to
decorate your kazoo (optional)
DIRECTIONS FOR HOMEMADE KAZOOS
1. Cover the end of your cardboard tube with wax paper. Secure
it with a rubber band. 2. Poke a hole in the side of the tube using
the sharp pencil or other sharp object. (Be
careful! Don’t poke yourself. It’s OK to ask for help.) 3. Put
the open end of the tube up to your mouth and hum or say “do” over
and over and to
make the kazoo sound. (This may take some practice but don’t
give up! You’ll get the hang of it!)
4. Optional: Paint or use marker pens or crayons to decorate
your kazoo!
QUESTIONS TO SPARK MORE CURIOSITY What do you hear? How are the
sounds being made? Do the sounds change when you hum different
tunes? Explanation: The wax paper vibrates from the sound of your
voice, amplifying it or making it louder.
Now that you have your own homemade kazoo, hang on to it for
future lessons. We will be exploring
ways to play a melody on your kazoo.

DID YOU SAVE YOUR KAZOO FROM LAST WEEK’S LESSON? GO GET IT AND
GET READY TO EXPLORE!
(If you didn’t save your kazoo, refer back to Lesson 2 for
directions)
KEY VOCABULARY WORDS:
dynamics (say die-NAA-miks) soft loud
Here’s a fancy word for you: Dynamics. When we talk about the
dynamics of a song, we are talking about the loudness or softness
of the music. *Can you hum a soft or quiet melody on your kazoo?
*Now try to play the same melody on your kazoo only this time, play
it loud. *What did you have to do to make your dynamic change from
soft to loud? *Play your melodies on your kazoo for your family.
Can they tell the difference between soft and loud? If they can’t
hear the difference, what changes can you make so they CAN hear the
difference? *What changes can you feel in your body when you switch
dynamics from soft to loud? *Do you like playing a soft dynamic
best? Or maybe you prefer to play a loud dynamic. *Can you play a
melody that has both soft and loud dynamics in it? *Record your
kazoo songs and listen to them. What do you think? Can you hear the
different dynamics?
