Last Friday Zoom Classroom Meeting and Updates

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.

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.

Monday May 11

Measurement: Non-Standard Measurement

Non-standard Units of measurements are units that are not commonly used to measure, such as blocks, paper clips, tooth picks, parts of the body, cubes or string etc.

Watch the videos

When Measuring with non-standard units keep these helpful tips in mind:

Examples of non-standard measurement:

Activity: Measure your Art

Draw 3- 5 pictures of anything that are different sizes on the same or separate pieces of paper depending on the size of your images (if you draw on the same cut your images out)
After you draw all your images take a look at the pictures, place them tallest to shortest in front of you.
Select a non-standard measuring tool that are the same size (blocks, cubes, paper clips etc whatever you have to use at home.)
Estimate how many of the objects you will need to measure each of your images. Write down the estimation on your paper next to your image (remember an estimation is not always going to be correct, use your sense of sight and touch to make an informed guess)
Measure your images using the non-standard tool of your choice.
Write down the measurement underneath your estimation.
Measure your images after using standard measurement with a ruler/ tape measure and compare the two measurements. How long in (centimetres) cm is one of your non-standard items?

Questions to discuss and ponder: What did you notice about the importance of estimating? Why is it important to observe to make an informed guess? How does it feel to estimate without knowing the answer first? How does practice with non-standard measurement support our understanding when using standard units?
Post picture of your drawings and measurements to FreshGrade

2. ADST Part 1: Not a Box

Listen to the story “Not a Box” by Marie Antionette
Questions: What is the importance or theme of the story? How does this book support our understanding of the creative thinking competency?
Find a box of any size at home and take a look at the box.
What do you see? What can you turn that box into?
Grab a piece of paper and design what you will turn your box into (label your design with measurements/ shapes you will use learned in the past few weeks at home)
Write down materials you will need to create your design (you can label your design with materials you plan to use as well to enhance you image and design). Remember to use what you already have in your home.
Post a picture of your design and answers to the questions to FreshGrade (the answers can be in video form or also scribed in a comment as we already have another writing component today).

3. SEL Calendar

Please complete the May 11 activity

Choose your own quote or one of the ones below
Write about why you chose the quote, connect to the quote or why you are inspired by the quote.
Post a picture of which quote you chose and your write up to FreshGrade.

Select an activity on the bingo sheet. Remember to choose at least one activity to complete each day and each activity should be around 20 minutes of stamina.

Tuesday May 12

Remember to do what you can. If there is not enough time in your day pick one or two activities.

Mathematics: Non-Standard Measurement

Non-standard units of measurement are helpful for us to visualize the length or height of something using objects we can imagine.

At this time we have been asked to stay 6 feet apart from other people. But what if you don’t know how big 6 feet is? We use non-standard measurement to describe this. So, we might say to keep a distance of a hockey stick, an average man, a bed, 2 Stanley cups, a sofa, 2 shopping carts or a cougar. All these objects are about 6 feet (or 2 meters) apart. Sometimes it’s easier to visualize the objects than to visualize standard measurement like a ruler.

Activity: Can you create a poster that shares an example of keeping 6 feet apart? What object(s) or examples will you use? You can search for something that is 6 feet using the internet, or you can find it using a ruler or measuring tape that is in your home. Post your completed poster to FreshGrade.

I made one too! Found something approx. 6ft 5

ADST Part 2: Create your “Not a Box”

Create your not a box using your design and materials you planned
Take your time and try using measurement strategies for planning out the length/ height of materials you are using.
Post a picture of your completed structure to FreshGrade

3. SEL Calendar : Optional complete the May 12 activity.

Watch the video “The Power of Yet” on the (link on the SEL Calendar)

Select an activity on the bingo sheet. Remember to choose at least one activity to complete each day and each activity should be around 20 minutes of stamina.

Wednesday May 13

Mathematics: Non-Standard Units of Measurement and Estimation

Choose one non-standard tool to measure from what you have at home
Make sure that tool is the same size as you will using more than one of those tools to measure
Find 5 objects in your home to measure using that non-standard tool (use the same tool for each)
Before measuring estimate how long you predict that object will be and write down your estimation (ex. 10 paper clips etc)
Measure each object and write down the measurement
Measure each of those objects again using standard units with a ruler/ tape measure
Double check your measurement as well compare your estimation to your measurements
Post to FreshGrade when completed

2. Visit the Blogs (pick one to complete 2a or 2b)

2a). Reading Comprehension: Visit Ms. Ho’s Library Blog

Re-telling the story is a vital part of comprehension and understanding a story.

Select an Oliver Jeffers Story from Ms. Ho’s Blog
https://www.oliverjeffers.com/books#/abookaday/
Listen to one read aloud of your choice
Why you chose to listen to that particular story? What caught your attention?

Activity: Re-tell the story in your own words. It is up to you how you would like to re-tell the story. You can act it out, use pictures, loose parts, create a comic story, talk about it in a video and/ or writing to share the re-telling.

Post your re-telling to FreshGrade

Change of plans! There is a pro-d-day Friday and there is no school for students. How did I almost miss that?

We will have our zoom class meeting on on Thursday May 14 instead.

Zoom meeting changed to day at 10:00am. Same link!
Think Outside the Box Thursday! Use the image below and create something unique. Remember it is not an umbrella! Print out the picture or copy it on your own paper. Can’t wait to see what you come up with this week! Post to FreshGrade.
