Hello my lovelies! I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to our Zoom meeting. I split the class into grade 3’s (11:00 am) and grade 4’s (11:45 am) this time.
Join Zoom Meeting here
As you can see form the title of this blog, today is all about feeling good. The activities you have today should not cause you any stress. 🙂
READ:
I have assigned two books on Epic. One of them is about stress and is very long so if you can only read one of them, please read the book titled ‘Be Positive’. Write down 5 things you can say or do to help you stay positive or to help you be more positive.
JOURNAL:
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist? Why or Why not? Give an example of a time when you were optimistic. (I should get at least a paragraph…please)
(psst…an optimist is someone who is hopeful and sees the bright side of any situation)
Act of Kindness:
Doing something for others is one way to make ourselves feel good. Choose an act of kindness that you could do for another person. Here are some examples of things you can do: make a card with a positive message, fold laundry, clean your room without being asked, make lunch for your mom or dad, or call a relative to say hello. The list is endless. I’m sure you could think of something nice to do for someone else.
*Tell me what you did and how you felt afterwards.
MATH:
Play games! Find a game to play that uses math. Better yet, make one up! It doesn’t matter what kind of game as long as you are using adding, subtracting, or multiplying. Tell me what you decided to do.
*If this doesn’t work for you, practice getting faster at your timestables or use the flashcards you have (or made).
*If this doesn’t work for you, email me and I will give you some word problems to do.
The math I have given for today is NOT optional. In other words, you still need to do math today. Even though I have not given you specific questions, I still want you to practice your math and I have given you some flexibility in how you do that. I also know that some of you are doing your own math practice and that’s great. Your job is to let me know how you practiced your math today.
I hope you have a fantastic Feel Good Friday! See you all later…hopefully 🙂
