Animals Gone Wild!  I think we have an animal fashion show happening here.  Thanks Linnea and Dexter.

It’s Fantastic Friday!  Hope you are all well and going to enjoy the sun of today before the April showers arrive.  Again, a big thank you for diving into so many activities and assignments this week.  They are provided as a guideline so please know that you and your family are to engage in what best suits your learning style at this time. I do encourage you to send in 1 activity/assignment per week and work on two ReadWorks reading passages.  If you can tackle more, go for it!  Stretch your thinking, extend your learning and make the most of this learning opportunity from home.  Home is where the HEART is.

Your Fraction Exhibits for the Math Museum have put a smile on my face as your displays have not only shown your understanding of fractions but your creativity.  I was also a little hungry after my gallery walk as there were a few yummy food items used as math manipulatives.

I know many of you have enjoyed doing the Spring Acrostic Poem.  You can use that style of poem for many themes.  You can make an acrostic poem for your name.  You can make an acrostic poem related to what is happening during this historical moment in time.  You can make one related to your favourite sport.  As Word Collectors, you can use one of your favourite, longest words and challenge yourself. There are endless possibilities with acrostic poems.

Monday, April 27, is a Professional Development Day.  I will be collaborating virtually with the staff at Clinton as well as with other educational professionals.  So there will not be a Monday morning blog post or shape of the week assigned on that day.  I will post on Tuesday.  You can access any of the past activities I have shared, check out the library or music page or continue to develop your skills and talents. Anna is building with Lego, Cara is baking with her sister, Malaya is painting rocks, Gokul is making foil creatures, Zahra is doing science experiments and Jocelyn is seeing Fractions in the most unusual places in her home…Math Is Everywhere! (click on the experiment/museum to see)

Next week, only 2 reading passages will be assigned. They will be reading passages you have already seen from the past two weeks.  It has been brought to my attention that when you receive your results back, correct answers are not revealed when you have an error.  I am going to see what I can do about that.  It is important that we learn from our mistakes or misunderstandings.  Thanks for your patience on that matter.

As I leave you today, remember to be kind to one another and the Earth.  Be Environmental Super Heroes and take time to appreciate nature.  Everything on Earth is alive                                                                                                                                                                   Everything on Earth is connected                                                                                                                                                         Everything on Earth has a purpose                                                                                                                                                       Everything on Earth is to be embraced      (Aboriginal Worldview)

EVERY CHILD  MATTERS!  YOU MATTER!

Have an Earth-Friendly Friday!   Take care, Mrs. E. 🙂
