Month: June 2020 (Page 1 of 2)

Congratulations, Division 10!  You made it!  I am SO PROUD of all of you and all that you have achieved this year.  You worked very hard in class, made new friends, developed leadership skills, and so much more ! Way to go!  Remember that Mom or Dad can pick up your report card tomorrow at the designated time.  A few of you have left behind possessions and those will be there to pick up too.  I thought we could end our school year by doing another fun STEM activity, scavenger hunt, and GoNoodle song.  

**Mrs. Robert’s has also posted a few summer read aloud’s for you to check out as well as the read aloud to “Oh The Places You’ll Go.”  You can see the library blog *HERE*. 

1) STEM Menu OR Marble Run-your choice! Have fun, be creative, and take a picture and send it to me when you are done ! Make sure to clean up after as well 🙂

WAY TO GO, DIVISION 10!!!  Thank you for being so adaptable and resilient during these times!  You are all amazing!  You can always email me over the summer to say hi as well, or leave a comment on our class website 🙂 Be safe and have lots of fun this summer! 

Happy Tuesday, Division 10!  I can’t believe we are down to our final two days!  I have been reflecting on the year and I am so proud of all that you have accomplished and the adaptations that you have made to online learning. Way to go, everyone!  Today is a wrap up day and tomorrow is a few end of year fun activities to do.  Here are today’s activities:

1) Farewell to  Second/ Third Grade (Grade 2/3) Scrapbook Page- this one should not take you very long to do. Please make sure to be neat with your writing and use bright colours on the pictures and outlines of the sentence frames.  Have fun!  The activity sheet is below for each grade level.

Farewell Second Grade

3) Read for 20-30 minutes

4)Zoom- 1 PM!  I will finish off our read aloud book, we will play a few games, and reminisce about our time in Division 10 🙂  See you there!  

Happy Monday, Division 10! I hope you all had a great weekend and had a chance to celebrate your Dad’s!   It is officially our last week of school!  We will have activities today, tomorrow, and a few on Wednesday.  Wednesday is the Grade 7 Leaving Ceremony so we will have our last official Zoom session tomorrow instead.  The weather is supposed to be great this week so make sure you get outside and enjoy it (don’t forget sunscreen, though!)  Here are today’s activities:

1) Shining Star Scrapbook Page- brainstorm some ideas of what you are most proud of this year.  When was a time you were compassionate (kind to others)?  Showed responsibility in the classroom or on the playground?  Were honest?  Each star can probably fit 2-3 sentences.  Make sure to check for spelling, capitals, periods, and sentence sense. Decorate and lightly colour your stars when you are done and then email me your finished page 🙂

Hello, Division 10!  I hope you enjoyed the videos we watched yesterday and learned something about seed germination.  Wouldn’t that be a fantastic challenge word for spelling ?!  Included below are the activities for Thursday and Friday of this week. We will not be doing our Friday letter this week, instead we will be working on our student voice interviews.  I need these done by Friday so we will do that on Thursday instead.

1) Student Voice Interview: Think about how you would answer the questions (perhaps create a brainstorm first) and then fill out the question sheet below.  These will be used in your report cards so please make sure to do these by yourself, without parent help (as much as possible).  Make sure to add details, check for spelling, sentence sense, capitals, periods, and proper verb tense. Please email these to me when you are done.  Thank you!  The activity is below:

There are 3 sections so make sure to start with pencil first to plan out how you want to show the growth of the seed into a plant. You can use the videos linked below to help you with this.  Add labels to show the seed, stem, leaves, flowers, and roots.  Have fun and be creative!  If you need help, email me!
