Good morning Division 11.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted and re-submitted on forms with preference times for Zoom conferences. Once I get everyone’s response I will be able to make a schedule with individual conference times and group times.
Looking forward to adding that aspect of learning into the mix and get us re-connected with each other in a new way.
Today we are going to focus on literacy, mathematics and social studies.
- Reading-Bingo April 20- May 4 As reading is a very important part of learning and our day in grades 1 and 2 I have created a Reading Bingo sheet. This sheet offers fun ways to incorporate read at home. Remember to read 20 minutes each day. There will be a new one sent out in a couple weeks (May 4) with different options to make reading fun and a part of every day. Please post a picture when completed on FreshGrade, remember to tick at least one reading activity you have completed a day.
Name that shape! Before getting into 3D shapes this week, here are some fun riddles for you to guess what the 2D shape is. A list of possible shapes is listed underneath the riddles on the document and under this post. Post to FreshGrade when completed. Use your models from last week to help you identify or from the list.
3. Read Aloud and Litter Bug Art
Earth day is this Wednesday April 22nd. To get us thinking about what we can do for our planet and to get us started on the topic begin with the read aloud posted below.
Listen to the story Why Should I Recycle by Jen Green. Think about materials that you can recycle from the story. Are the similar to materials you recycle at home? Think about how you sort your garbage at home and at school? Where does the garbage go?
With some recycling you have at home, re-use some materials and create your own litter bugs. Below are some examples of what other students create. Ms. Silva’s class did this a little while back. Post your litter bug to FreshGrade.
So excited to see your learning this week!
Ms. Toor
