LITERACY 

–WRITER’S WORKSHOP– Watch the story “Stick and Stone” .  After you finish reading the book, in your Writing Workshop book, write about a time when you had to show empathy and draw a picture. When we empathize with other people we start to understand each other better and this creates more harmony between people.  

–STORY- Click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1bDLm1NhbI to listen to “Happy Right Now”.  This story encourages us to turn our wishes or unhappy thoughts into happier thoughts.  My example is “I’ll be happy when it stops raining, but I’m happy right now because the flowers need water to grow.” Complete the worksheet found here or make your own.
 

–MAD LIBS – Try out some mad libs online. Just fill in the blanks with the appropriate words and they will be used to make a silly story:

–SUMMER MATH – All summer long, we encourage you to find math in nature, at the beach, in the park, or in your backyard. Can you find patterns in nature? Can you find a counting collection at the beach? Can you write math equations in the dirt or sand? Can you create a story problem using seashells or pinecones? Can you keep a tally of the birds that fly by your house? Can you measure the length of items that you find outside? Can you put different sticks in order from shortest to longest?  

Here are some pictures for inspiration:

–SUMMER WISH LIST– Take the time to sit down with your family and make a list of realistic things you would like to do this summer. Some examples may include: walk around Deer Lake, visit the Burnaby Nature House, visit Burnaby Village Museum (if it reopens), visit a splash pad, have a family game night, make homemade pizza, try to cook a new recipe together as a family. Put your list in a visible place and try to choose dates on your calendar to do these things. Of course, not all of them will happen but the fun is in making the list and planning for them! 

LITERACY 

–STORY-THE COLOUR MONSTER – Listen to this story here.  When you think of a feeling do you sometimes feel colours? Like red for angry?

– WRITER’S WORKSHOP: -Watch this video on Howe Sound. https://youtu.be/XTLTltIzMUo 

 Write in your Writer’s Workshop book about how you connect with the video (Have you been camping? Have you seen Orcas in the wild? Do you love the water? etc.) Can you create a story that has a setting on or by the ocean? Make sure you describe what the area looks like for your story so the ready can create an image in their mind.
