Month: April 2020 (Page 1 of 2)

Hi there, Division 10!  I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday!  If you haven’t sent me your reading response to the questions about the story Mrs. Robert’s read yesterday, please do so today.  Here are today’s activities:

1) Raz Kids– read a new story (listen once, read twice to yourself, answer the questions in the quiz.  You can look back at the story to help you answer the questions).

2) Zoom Meetings for Spawning Salmon Web– don’t forget to bring your highlighted spawning salmon article, paper, a pencil, and eraser.  Be prepared to offer ideas!  You are doing the work, not Ms. Edwards ! 

**Grade 2’s meeting at 1 PM, Grade 3’s meeting at 2 PM.**

3) Go Noodle– go to their YouTube channel and pick out a video to try! Have fun!  

See you at our Zoom Meetings 🙂 

Hi there, Division 10!  It sure was lovely to see you all yesterday!  I am glad you enjoyed the scavenger hunt as I am hoping to continue that next week:)  There are two activities for today, plus reading for 20 minutes. I will be at the school helping to hand out student supplies this afternoon.  Remind your parents to come in at their designated times today!  Here are today’s activities:

1) Read Aloud and Response with Mrs. Robert’s: Listen carefully to Mrs. Robert’s as she reads you two pages from Garden of the Spirit Bear: Life in the Great Northern Rainforest.  Then, using paper, answer these questions:  A) How do salmon help the forest?  What do they provide for the forest once they die?  B) How do salmon help predators?  What predators are mentioned on these pages?  C) How do humans cause problems for salmon?  D)  How do fallen logs help spawning salmon?  **Make sure to answer these questions in full sentences and check your writing for sentence sense, spelling, capitals, and periods. **  You can also include a picture if you would like 🙂  Please email me your work when you are done.

2)Number of the Day:  Grade 2’s, your number is 56.  Grade 3’s, your number is 539.  Make sure to show your number in two different ways using coins in the “draw it” section and show your regrouping and borrowing!  Show your thinking:)  The number of the day sheet is HERE. 

3) Read for 20 minutes and continue working on your music bingo sheet.

Have a great day!  We will have two Zoom meetings on Thursday which I will email your parents about.  Bring your highlighted spawning salmon sheet with you as well as paper and a pencil.  See you then 🙂

4) Go for a neighbourhood walk or bike ride!  

Have a wonderful day, Division 10!  Email me if you have any questions or concerns 🙂 

Happy Thursday, Division 10!  I hope you all are having a great week.  Today’s main activities are focused around our Zoom meetings.  However, there are two additional things that you can work on as well.  

1)  Zoom Meetings– make sure to be prepared for this!  You will need paper, a pencil, eraser, coloured markers or pencil crayons, and your highlighted adult salmon article.  Grade 2’s, I will see you at 10 AM.  Grade 3’s, I will see you at 2 PM.  While you are waiting you can finish up any work from earlier this week and/ or do a short journal entry.  

2) Raz Kids-20 minutes, new story: listen, read twice to yourself, answer questions.  Also, PLEASE RECORD YOURSELF READING A STORY TODAY. Thank you!  

3) Yoga Poses for Kids– try at least 5 poses that can be found HERE. 

Have a wonderful day and I will see you at our Zoom meetings!  

Hello, Division 10!  It was so wonderful to see you all yesterday!  I realize that I didn’t get a chance to talk to you all.  I look forward to seeing you all on Thursday so I can get a chance to chat with you all then 🙂 Today is Earth Day!  Our activities are all focused on that except for the math games which I mentioned in the Zoom meeting yesterday. 

 1) Read Aloud- visit Mrs. Robert’s blog and listen to her read the book called Earth Day Birthday. You can use some of these ideas to help you with your literacy activity today!  *Remember, the password is our school mascot:) 

2) Earth Day Literacy Activity– brainstorm 4 ideas of what you can do to help the Earth (every day, not just today!).  Using the provided comic strip pages (4 squares, you will need two copies), draw and write about what you can do to help the Earth.  Make sure you write in FULL SENTENCES and provide DETAILS 🙂 Please also draw in the lines for your writing sections.  You should be aiming for 3-4 sentences for each square.  Your pictures should connect to what you are writing about and should be colourful and detailed as well.  I will attach examples of 2 ideas I came up with.  My pictures are not coloured as I don’t have colouring supplies at home.  You should be writing in pencil, not marker like I did. I only did that so you could see it 🙂

My example is HERE Earth Day Writing and Drawing Activity-Word Doc

Cartoon pages are HERE  

*Use the “10th” one under the “Blank Comic Book Pages” section.*

3) Math Games– go to the “Math Activities” tab on the top part of the blog and try out one of the math games.  The money one is one of my favourites!  Click on “Canada” if you try that one 🙂 

Have a great day, Division 10!  Email me if you have any questions 🙂 

Hello everyone!  Today we are going to have our Zoom class meeting at 1 PM!  Please be on time and prepared to participate.  Remember, this is still our classroom, so remember to be patient, kind, and respectful 🙂  Today we are also going to start working on the next stage in the salmon life cycle: adult salmon.  This is the stage where salmon spend time in the ocean, eat smaller fish, and try to avoid predators ! I will post two articles:  one with highlighted words, the other without.  If you have done your own highlighting before of key words, please use that article.  You can look at the other one for help if needed.  

1)  Adult Salmon article– read it twice, talk about it with Mom or Dad (what is interesting?  What is something you learned?  What do you remember about imprinting and what are the ways discussed in the article that salmon adapt to their surroundings? ) Then, highlight the important or key words.  Again, if you have highlighted the words before by yourself, choose the article that doesn’t have highlighted words.  

-If you want to start organizing your key words in your web, you may begin this today.  We will continue this on Thursday at our other Zoom meetings. 

The articles can be found HERE  (highlighted) and HERE (not highlighted)

**UPDATE:  If you cannot open the PDF’s, try these word documents instead:

Adult Salmon 1-Word Document        Adult Salmon 2  

*If you cannot open the files, please email me and I will send them to you another way. 

2) Read for 20 minutes

3)  Zoom Meeting at 1 PM!  I can’t wait to see you all, Division 10 🙂 

Hello Division 10!  I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  I am excited to see you tomorrow for our Zoom meeting at 1 PM!  Today we have three activities:

1)  Number of the Day- Grade 2’s- your number is 58.  Grade 3’s- your number is 449.  Remember to show your number TWO different ways using coins in the “Draw it” section and to show your expanded form (ex. 37= 30 + 7, 235 = 200 + 30 + 5).  Look at last week’s examples for additional information.  Feel free to email me if you need any help!  Your number of the day sheet is HERE.  Please email it to me when you are done.  *If you are done quickly, see if you can find items in your home that would represent that number!  Or, try another number of the day sheet!  

2) Raz Kids– some of you still have not recorded yourselves reading!  I will be checking in on this at our Zoom meeting tomorrow. You should be reading 2-3 books per week.  Make sure you listen to the story, read it several times to yourself, and answer the questions.

3) Art- try another sketch with Mo Willems!  

4) D.P.A.- Go for a neighbourhood walk or bike ride with your family 🙂  

I hope you have a fantastic day !  I will send out the Zoom invitations for tomorrow’s meeting today as well. -Ms. E 🙂 

Hello Division 10!  I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and have had a chance to get out in the sunshine everyday!  Before I tell you about today’s activities, I wanted to give you an update about Zoom Educational:  Ms. E finally has access to it!  I will be having a class meeting next Tuesday at 1 PM and then two following meetings for the grade two’s and three’s separately on Thursday to review math concepts and to check in on your salmon writing.  I will email the meeting links and passwords next week.  Also, next week we will be working on the next stage in the salmon life cycle: the adult salmon stage. You will be given two articles on the blog: one highlighted, one not (please work with the one you feel most comfortable with.  However, if you have highlighted the words before, work on the one without the highlighting!). You will be working on creating a detailed web next week which you need to send to me when you are done.  I will be checking in on this on our Thursday Zoom meetings.
