2. Mathematics: Financial Literacy 

As we no longer have pennies in our currency. Practice rounding up or down with numbers below.

• Amounts ending in 1 cents and 2 cents are rounded down to the nearest 10 cents

• Amounts ending in 8 cents and 9 cents are rounded up to the nearest 10 cents
• Amounts ending in 0 cent and 5 cents remain unchanged

Examples

• $5.76 would round up to $5.75

1. Langauge Arts: Silly Sentence Starters

In your Journal Write 3 questions you would ask a monster that is always crabby.

Option 1: Create a store.  In your home go find 5-10 objects that follow a theme for a store (for example toys, food, candy, toiletries, kitchen supplies/ utensils, stuffies and / or school supplies).

or 

Option 2: Create a restaurant with your family and use what you create (with food, paper or anything ADST related).

Build your restaurant/ store out of a blanket fort, cardboard or with your imagination (the possibilities are endless).

For option 1: Give those objects value by giving it a tag that includes the price of that object. Your child can create a tag to go on their selected object or can create a list similar to the image below.

Have your child select their value of the object based on their own level of skill. For example starting off with whole numbers or if you feel your child’s level of skip counting has developed to use numbers such as $5.25, $4.15 etc.

For option 2: Build a menu and give your meals/ food items prices

We will be using these objects and values for the next two activities on Thursday and Friday.

Weekly Update and Transition

Hello Families,

This week teachers will be collaborating to plan for a positive and engaging return to school for some 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 with the transition.

As it will look different for everyone involved in Division 11 here is a social story to help explain the changes that are happening as some students will return to school and others will continue to work online. Those returning and not returning will have a better understanding of some changes that have been made out of safety at this time.

Returning-To-School-During-COVID-19

May 29th Zoom Meeting: come in costume or PJs

With the transition happening this week will be our last class zoom meet with be on Friday May 29 at 10 am. With all the transition that will soon take place with the return to school. 

**However, if not all students are able to return to school for the month of June I will try my best to plan for class zoom calls from the school when things are settled and a new schedule is set in place.

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.

Group Meeting Plan: *Same link will be sent in email the day prior*

As a class on EPIC! We have read over 2,000 books as a class! Way to go Division 11! I check our number everyday and it keeps getting higher! Can we reach 5,000 by the end of the school year? If everyone reads each day I know we can!

Each Thursday we participate in Think Outside the Box activities with a picture that we have to complete. This is an activity that allows us to dive into our creative thinking competency. These are so amazing to see to each week! Here are a few to share from last week!

Good morning Division 11!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and Mother’s Day!

This Friday May 15 is a Pro-D-Day! No school for students!  Thank you to Ms. Raymond for checking as I almost missed that.

We will move our weekly zoom meeting to this Thursday May 14 @10am if most of the class is able to attend. An email will be sent shortly for RSVP to confirm who is able to attend and if we will have our meeting.

Monday May 18 is Victoria Day as well. Next week’s post will be added on Tuesday May 19.

I am so glad I found that out this morning! The assignments and learning we would have done on Friday will be moved to next week.

Thank you always for your patience as we navigate the online world,

Ms. Toor
