May 25-29 Activities
Hello Families,
This week teachers will be collaborating to plan for a positive and engaging return to school for students for the month of June. There are still many questions in the air and we are all working together to try and find appropriate and thoughtful answers/ solutions to ensure a safe return for everyone. I look forward to what the next few weeks may bring.
Our last class zoom meet with be on Friday May 29 at 11 am. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding with all the change that is happening. I also want to say thank you for all the hard work that you have been doing at home. It has been so fun to see the creative ways you have implemented learning at home. As always if you have any questions or concerns please contact me via email. 🙂

Math: Measurement occurs in many areas of everyday life! It occurs when cooking a meal or baking a delicious treat! Measuring allows you to keep track of the amount of each ingredient you will need to create the food you eat! Following a recipe involves following measurements of ingredients.
Bake or cook something at home with a family member (Remember if you cannot do this today pick another day this week that works for your schedule)
Directions:
- Select a recipe
- Look at the recipe ingredients and how much you will need for each ingredient
- Notice what you are using to measure out the ingredients needed.
- Why is it important to measure while baking or cooking?
Post a picture of you baking/ cooking or your finished product! Enjoy! I will be jealous of all the delicious food!
