Learning at Home: June 8-12
Learning at home for the week of June 8 – 12
Special announcements: Happy Birthday to Jayden on June 12!
BONUS PROJECT: If your child would like to work on a “Memory Book” for this school year, I have attached a link here. If you do not have access to a printer, your child could easily create the pages with the same titles.
I have 2 booklets (Place Value and outdoor learning activities) to provide to families who are continuing with home learning (the same ones that were offered last week). If you would like these booklets (not required), I can leave them outside our classroom door on Monday or Tuesday for you to pick up.
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 is “crazy hair day”. You are invited to attend with some crazy ponytails, spiky hair, or wearing a coloured wig! We will be watching a science lesson from “Telus World of Science” together.
- Thursday/Friday – small group sessions with Ms. Mah
Here are some activity suggestions to try this week. Families can choose how to best to fit these into your week. The highlighted lessons will be covered in class. Do one or do some!

LITERACY
|
–STORY- GIRAFFES CAN’T DANCE- click here to listen to the story. You will learn that Gerald felt he was not good at dancing. Once he found the right type of music, he learned he could dance! Is there something you feel you cannot do well YET but you want to get better at it? Now draw a detailed picture and write 1-3 sentences. Maybe you would like to set a goal for yourself to get better at it. –VERB HUNT: watch this video to learn more about “verbs”. While reading to yourself for 20 minutes, look for action words. These are called “verbs”. See if you can act out their meaning. Eg. Jump, talk, wiggle. –NON-FICTION READING: read a non-fiction book. This is a book that tells you about real things or is “true”. You can find these types of books on Tumblebooks or Epic. Then write down 5 facts that you learned from your book. –REFLECTION JOURNAL: -Complete pages 13-17 in your Reflection Journal. –RAZ KIDS READING – keep practicing you reading as many times as you can this week. Can you read for 20 minutes every single day this week? |

NUMERACY
|
–GRAPHING – Grab a handful of lego, cereal, or toys. Sort them into groups based on shape, size, or colour. Now create a bar graph (like our weather graph) to share the data. BONUS: Write a sentence to compare the data. -GAME – RACE TO 50 TO 100: Use a blank piece of paper and one or two dice. Roll the dice, note the number, now roll again and add to your first number. Keep rolling as you record the numbers as you add to the previous number. Stop when you reach 50 or 100. For example, 1st roll: 5, 2nd roll: 4. so 5+4=9, 3rd roll: 3. so 9 + 3=12. -PLACE VALUE BOOKLET: If you have the place value booklet at home, you can complete 3 more pages. –NAME THAT SHAPE: Now that you’ve had some time to learn the names of the 3D shapes, give this a try and see if you can name all the shapes: https://youtu.be/MYoUQyLNUi4 -MATHLETICS: keep practicing your math skills online
