Help Celebrate Jiji's birthday....

Follow Jiji through Burlington on the way to a Party!

Figure out where Jiji is in each photo as he collects his friends throughout Burlington to celebrate his birthday.  Where will Jiji's party be?  Notice how even Jiji is doing his part in social distancing from his friends.

Directions- Use the pictures of Jiji on his birthday adventure to figure out what places he visited.  Once you know the place, find it on this map of Burlington.  Each place has a symbol on the map below. When you find the symbol, list the name of the place in the photo, symbol and location next to each photo number line below on the recording sheet.

Take Digital Learning to a “New” Area at Home

While having a designated “school” spot in the house, even if it’s just a particular desk or chair, can be helpful for creating routines and good habits, switching up your learning location once in a while to add excitement. Here are a few options, such as:

• On a beanbag
• On the porch
• Building a fort to play in
• Backyard camping in a tent
• Under a desk
• A pile of stuffed toys

Day 21:  Which One Doesn't Belong?

K-2 Directions:  Look at the 4 cubes below.  One of them is different from the others.  When you figure out which one doesn't fit in, tell someone you're home with which one it is.  Make sure you tell them why it doesn't belong.  Post your thoughts in the comments below.  (Shapes can be numbers 1-4 clockwise from the top left to make commenting easier)



K-2 Challenge:  After finding one cube that doesn't belong, try to find a different one that doesn't belong.  Tell someone you're home with the reason why it doesn't belong.  It should be a different reason than the first one!

3-5 Directions:  Look at the 4 letters below.  One of them is different from the others.  When you figure out which one doesn't fit in, tell someone you're home with which one it is.  Make sure you tell them why it doesn't belong. Then, using a different reason, try to find a different letter that doesn't belong.  Once you have, tell someone in your house the new reason why that letter doesn't belong.  Post your thoughts in the comments below.
