Month: May 2020 (Page 1 of 3)

Hi, everyone ! I hope you all had a chance to get out and enjoy the weekend, even though it was a pretty soggy one!  There is a slight change of plans to our weekly schedule:  I will be posting the Monday-Wednesday activities daily, and then the Thursday-Friday activities will be posted on Thursday morning.  If you have any questions about this, please feel free to email me 🙂  We are going to start looking at plants this week for a Science unit.  This week we will be learning about the parts of the plant you can eat, examples of them, and what those parts are called!  Here are today’s activities:

1) Science-Parts of the Plant 321 Response– watch the YouTube video *HERE* to learn about some examples of different fruits and vegetables that you can eat that are examples of roots, stems, leaves,  and more!  Then, use the 321 Reading Response sheet to tell me 3 things you learned, 2 questions you have, and 1 thing you found interesting.

The 321 Response sheet is attached below.  Make sure to add details and check for spelling, capitals, and punctuation!  Please email it to me when you are done.

It has been lovely!  Next week will look a little different: instead of having Zoom sessions on Thursday and Friday, we will have them on Tuesday and Wednesday instead as those (plus Monday) are my online or remote learning days.  I will be available via email if you have any questions.  I will be putting the week’s worth of work up on the class website each Sunday from now on.

Hi, everyone ! Happy Thursday!  I hope you have all had a fantastic week so far and have had a chance to get out in the nice weather we have been having.  Today I will be at school for most of the day preparing for next week so our Zoom Math session will be there.  We will be using our class calendar and our prior knowledge to share new and familiar learning concepts.  Here are today’s activities:

1) Zoom Math– 11 AM today!  Be prepared and ready to share! 

2) Draw and Write Reflection– think back to what you have learned about salmon, the Great Bear Rainforest, cedar, and totem poles. You might want to get out previous assignments to help you with this 🙂  Using the worksheets below, choose 2 circles to draw and 2 circles to write in about something important you learned about each circle.  Make sure to add details ! When you are writing, you can add lines to help you share your thoughts.

Happy Monday, Division 10!  I hope you all had a good weekend and  had a chance to get out and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air.  This week will be a transition and review week so our assignments will be a little bit different.  I had a chance to go for a walk at Como Lake in Coquitlam this weekend and saw signs of new life!  What do you notice on the log?  I wonder what kind of adaptations ducks have with their feathers so that water doesn’t get absorbed?  Can you find out?

Hi there, Division 10!  I hope you are all doing well.  It was nice to see you all yesterday at our class meeting.  Today you will be working on a new kind of poetry called “expand a word” as well as our weekly number worksheet and yoga (if you have time).  Don’t forget to send me your totem pole art and math if you haven’t already.  Have a great day!  

1) Expand a Word Poetry: this is a five lined poem.  Each line asks you to do something different:

First line:  name of item/thing

Second line: describe and rename the item/thing

Third line: Where the item/thing can be found

Fourth line: What you can do with the item/thing

Fifth line: How you feel about the item/thing

Here are two examples that Ms. Watt created:

***YOUR WORD TO EXPAND IS CEDAR ***

Use the rough draft to create your expand a word poem for the word “Cedar”.  Make sure to check for proper spelling, punctuation, and sentence sense.

Once you have checked over your rough draft, use the good copy below as the one to email to me when you are done.  Thank you!
