Learning Activities for June 1 – 5
Learning at home for the week of June 1 – 5
As we transition to providing in class lessons for the students who are returning to class, we have had to change the framework for home learning slightly. Any of the lessons that are highlighted in red will be taught in class to those students who are returning.
If your child is returning to class, he/she can complete the non-highlighted lessons at home on the remaining days of the week.
If your child will be continuing with home learning, he/she can complete any/all of the lessons that are listed whether they are highlighted or not.
I have 2 new booklets (Place Value and outdoor learning activities) to provide to families who are continuing with home learning. If you would like these booklets (not required), please contact Ms. C. to arrange a time to pop by our classroom to pick up these booklets.
If you have any library books, RED folder books, or other books from school, please drop them off in a bin that I will leave outside our classroom door between the hours of 8:30 and 3:30 on Mondays and Tuesdays.
A separate email will be sent including the zoom links for the following class zoom sessions:
- Monday 1:15 – 1:45 – Zoom Music with Ms. Gaspar
- Wednesday 1:00 – 2:00 – Whole Class Zoom – This week come dressed in your PJ’s! We will watch the Space X rocket that launched on Saturday and visit the International Space Station.
- Thursday/Friday – small group sessions with Ms. Mah

LITERACY

–BEE WORK– Is there a question about bees from your “Wonder” list that you still want to know more about? With an adult’s help, look online to find the answer to your question. You can use the last pages of your “Bee Booklet” to document your question and findings. Feel free to complete any of the remaining pages of your bee booklet. -REFLECTION JOURNAL- Complete pages 10-12 of your Reflection Journal. Please take the time to really think about how you have been feeling and write about it on pages 11-12. Changes sometimes make us feel various feelings. This is the same for everyone- even adults! When you find you are having a hard day talk to someone, go for a walk, take a break, or do some breathing. -SOCIAL DISTANCING- Watch how these friends show they care about each other while social distancing. https://www.facebook.com/villageprimarythornaby/videos/1982995221836366/ What are some other ways we can show our family and friends that we care from a distance? Write some of your ideas down and draw a picture of what your idea looks like in your journal. |

-INTRODUCTION TO PLACE VALUE – Can you find a group of small objects (a counting collection)? Now sort the objects into groups of tens and ones. For example, if you have 85 cheerios, you will have 8 groups of ten and 5 ones. Perhaps you can find another collection to count into 10’s and 1’s. If you have the “Place Value” booklet, complete the first 3 pages or complete the page below.
–CREATE A STORY PROBLEM – The answer is 18. What could the question be? Think of as many answers as possible (+/- sentences, pictures, story problems, money, graphs, etc)
-3D SHAPES BOOK and ITEM CARDS SET 2 SORT – Cut, colour, and put together “My Shapes Book”. Once you’ve done that read it to someone in your home. Cut out the Item Cards Set 2.

–IN MY HEART – listen to the story here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIfLgHBwYx4 We are going to try to cover our entire classroom window and bulletin board with rainbow hearts to show appreciation and care for our community! Can you help by drawing and cutting hearts in a variety of sizes using the different colours of the rainbow? Or let your creativity run wild and create any heart design you want. I cannot wait to see our collaborative efforts come together for this project! If you are working at home on your hearts, you can drop them off in the envelope that I will attach to the outside of our classroom door. Drop them off anytime!
MUSIC FROM MS. GASPAR:
– CHROME MUSIC LAB- https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/
The Chrome Music Lab has 13 different experiments with unique ways to play, create, and visualize sound and music. Can you figure out how each experiment works? What kinds of creative patterns and sounds can you make? Can you write your own song (or re-create one you already know)? Try some of them out! Now let’s look at the first experiment called Song Maker. https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Song-Maker/ Choose an instrument and create a melody. Use low notes and high notes, and play it back so you can hear what you composed. Don’t forget to click SAVE if you don’t want to lose your song!
-Remember to try to join our zoom music session with Ms. Gaspar from 1:15 – 1:45 on Monday!
