Hey, Neighbor! This activity fosters creativity and empathy. Materials: paper, art supplies Point out to your child that a lot of people are staying home right now and can’t play with their friends and neighbors. Ask your child: What is a message or a wish you would like to share with the people in our community? Then have them make a sign to share that message with your neighbors. Put the sign in your window or in your front yard so that other people who are staying home can see it when they look outside. And when you look outside, see if you can spot signs or messages that other people have made! Scholastic Learn At Home: https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/support/learnathome/grades-1-2-week-3.html After reading, try the drawing activity. You may want to extend your shape drawing by adding a message. Science Connection: How is a rainbow made?

Then compare the sizes of the shares to the number of equal shares. Note to parents: Discuss with your children the idea that the size of an equal share is dependent on the size of the whole and the idea that increasing the number of shares results in smaller shares. For example, point out that if you shared a candy bar between 2 people, you would get a bigger piece than if 4 people were sharing it.
