Literacy Writing: BE YOUR FAVOURITE AUTHOR Our favourite books, characters or authors can inspire our stories! You might try writing a book the way your favourite author writes. Is it with speech bubbles, silly adventures or without words? Or possibly an information book. Or you might think of a favourite character from a book you have read or heard. Could you imagine that character in another story? What adventures might they have? Create a book that stars this character! Reading: IN 20 WORDS OR LESS After reading, ask your children to tell you, in 20 words or less, what was important. Write down what they say or count the words. How close to 20 did you get? Math: Go to the Khan Academy website and try the questions I’ve assigned to you on this week.

Ask your child to jump up and down or do jumping jacks for one-minute. After one-minute, have your child place their hand on their heart and focus on how their heartbeat and breathing feel. |
