Tuesday June 9
- Science: Sound Walk:
Each Tuesday we will continue to go on a walk outside or listen outside to the sounds you hear. Close you eyes and listen close. Choose one sound that stuck out to you. *if raining too hard open your window or door or listen under cover.
Write down in your journal what sound you hear and draw a picture to share what sound you heard.
2. Language Arts: Silly Sentence Starter
- Write in your journal or piece of paper a song about a backpack that can grant wishes
- Add a picture if you would like as well
3. Mathematics: Financial Literacy
3a). Use the sheet below colour and print out. Please ignore the instructions and colour the coins on the sheet below this instruction just like regular coins in the template above (using colours like brown, gold/ yellow, grey/ silver).
NOTE: We will talk about the penny that is no longer in our Canadian currency. As it involves rounding up or down we will talk about that very soon and have another lesson about that in the next couple weeks.
If you do not have a printer that is okay as you can use loose change if you have it or can even make your own coins using paper. We will need coins to do many other activities whether they are paper, fake money or real money. Thank you!
3b). Use the wallet template to create a wallet to store your financial literacy money in. Design you wallet as you would like.
4. Reading Bingo:
Wednesday June 10
- Langauge Arts: Silly Sentence Starters
Write in your journal or blank piece of paper.

2. Mathematics: Financial Literacy
Cut out your money from yesterday. After practicing skip counting keep it in your wallet or a safe place as we will continue using them to practice our financial literacy skills.
- Practice identifying how much each coin is worth
- Practice skip counting with money (counting by 5s, 10s, 25s etc)
5s: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 50, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100
10s: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
25s: 25, 50, 75, 100
You can use the coins made yesterday to help use as a visual to help with skip counting.
