Hi there, Division 10!  I am excited to see you all today at our Math Zoom meetings this afternoon!  Today we will be working on new math and also start working on creating our own totem pole animal. We will be working on the good copy of this next week so today you are just working on the drawings.  Here are today’s activities:

1)  Totem Pole Art: 

Listen to Mrs. Robert’s read aloud Totem Tales to get an idea of some animals that are used on totem poles.  Once you have listened to the story and carefully looked at the pictures, start thinking about  what animal has similar characteristics as you, read about 6 different animals that were commonly used in Totems Pole HERE.
What animal are you like? Are you powerful like a bear? A builder like a beaver? A leader like an eagle? A trickster like a wolf?
Or, if you don’t connect with one of these 6 animals, which animal are you like? Are you jumpy and like swimming like a frog? Are you shy like a turtle? Are you loyal and like playing like a dog? Are you independent and watchful like a cat? Are you gentle, kind and caring like a deer? Are you intelligent and a risk taker like an eagle?
There are 5 pages of examples of different animals to look through for design ideas before starting.

Using an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, draw a large head of your animal (some animals may need the whole body). It is important to fill as much of the page as possible.
Totem pole art uses lines around lines and shapes inside any empty space (but not too many!).
When finished drawing, there should be large spaces, of different shape and size, to be filled in with colour.

**DO NOT COLOUR IN YOUR PICTURE TODAY, DIVISION 10 🙂  Today you are working on the sketch, or rough copy of your picture.  I will show you my example below: Make sure to use pencil!  

2) Math Zoom Meetings:  Grade 2’s- 1 PM,   Grade 3’s-2 PM.  Make sure to bring a pencil, a marker, an eraser, and paper ! See you there

3) Raz Kids– make sure to listen to the story, read it twice, and answer the quiz questions!  

Have a great day!  

Hi, Division 10!  It was so nice to see you all yesterday!  I will have to come up with another fun game for next week!  I plan on reading Harry Potter with the separate grade groups tomorrow before we get going on math.  Here are today’s activities: 

1)Read Aloud and Response with Mrs. Robert’s:  carefully listen to Mrs. Robert’s read the page about totem poles and bears at the link *HERE*.  Then, fill out the “3-2-1” Response page linked below. You need to tell me in FULL sentences (with proper use of capitals, spelling, and periods) 3 things you learned, 2 questions you have about the reading, and one thing you found interesting.

Happy Tuesday, Division 10!  I hope you all had a great Monday and spent some time working on the time capsule project.  I spent quite a bit of time listening to your recorded readings yesterday on Raz Kids.  Some of you have not recorded yet or in a while, so I have assigned you a reading to listen to, read, record answer questions about for today.  This week you will be working on creating your own totem pole animal that represents you. Today we will start by learning about what a totem pole is, why it is important, and what is part of a totem pole.  Here are today’s activities: 

1) Reading Response: Totem Pole Activity: totem poles tell a story about  the person who made them.  Different animals and people are used to help describe the story and the colours and carvings used are very important.  The order of the people and animals is also very important. Read the article about totem poles *HERE*  and *HERE* twice and then answer the questions on the sheet attached below. Make sure to check your writing for missing details, capitals, and periods.  Email it to me when you are done!  Thank you 🙂

2) Raz Kids:  please listen to, read twice, and answer the questions to a book that you are reading. Don’t rush, Division 10!  A few of you have been assigned new books to read and record yourself reading.  Thank you!  

3) Zoom Meeting: at 2 PM today!  Please bring a few pieces of paper, a pencil, colouring supplies, and a quick story to share.  We will be playing another round of the scavenger hunt, doing a bit of math review with money, and listen to Harry Potter ( read aloud). See you there!
