Hello Division 8!
I hope you had fun watching the video yesterday and things didn’t get too messy at home 🙂 Some of you have been asking for the answers so I’m going to leave them here:
3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon
16 tablespoons in a cup
2 1/2’s in a cup
1 1/2 cups
1 cup = 3 1/3 cups
16 cups in a gallon or 4L
I’m glad you had a chance to practice because YOU are going to need those measuring skills on the weekend when you cook a healthy recipe! We’ll talk more about this on tomorrow’s blog! Can’t wait to share recipes : )
For today, your job is to go on a nature walk with an adult! On your nature walk I want you to listen to the sounds, and look at the beauty around you for inspiration to write your first Nature poem. I went for a walk today and I could hear the birds chirping and I was inspired to write about the blossoms.
Ms. Binng’s poem:
B looming beautiful cherry blossoms
L ove the white and pink colours
O ver the hills and covering the skies
S pring is here!
S ummer is near!
O h my!
M y neighbourhood is filled with your sweet smell,
S uch a delight to be near!
Do you notice something about my poem? *Hint: Look at the first letter on every line…they spell the word blossoms!
I want you to find something from your walk to write about…it could be a tree, caterpillar, butterfly, sun, birds or whatever else you see or hear! Start each sentence with the letter of the word like I did and write in down in the comment section! I can’t wait to read your poems today! I’ve also added some great nature poems in your Epic books account, please take some time to read them this week!
Love,
M issing you
S pecial students
B een so long since I’ve seen all of you!
I nviting you to big hugs when all this is over!
N ever to old to dance right?!
N ever to old to do the butterfly : )
G oing to keep smiling : )
Beautiful cherry blossoms
Light fresh breeze
Original
Sunshine & flowers blooming
Such a good time on the flowery green hills
Oats for the morning
Magnificent sight
Swirling wind
Hope you liked my poem :3
Awww….that’s lovely! You used such beautiful words like ‘light fresh breeze’ and ‘magnificent sight.’ Do you see a lot of cherry blossoms when you go for walks around your neighbourhood?
Beautiful is the spring .
I can see a lot of bees,trees,flowers, and birds .
Rocks did not get in front of my walk.
During my walk was beautiful.
Spring is when birds come.
Beautiful poem John! Sounds like you had a lovely walk!
Yes!! Oh and I could not see the math games in my teams??????
I didn’t add the math games for today…you can go to ixl.com and do measurement for 10 minutes today if you like!
Friend’s are like flowers.

One day we will play all together.

Marigolds on the green grass

Ms. Binng,
I finished my messy math homework but I cannot save my answers on the powerpoint silde (it is read only).
Hi Brandon! On the video and on the 2nd slide I mentioned to write the answers on any paper!
Cloudy days
Having fun
I feel the cool breeze
Running Through my curly hair
Pedals falling from the sky
Ooooh….I love the sound word that you used…’Chirp’ What a great idea! Do you hear lots of birds in your neighbourhood?
SUN
Shine on me.
Under my hat because you’re so bright.
Nature is beautiful with you.
Wow Omar! You are such a poet! Did you feel that warm sun on you today as you went for a walk?
Great poem Omar! The sunshine makes everything beautiful!
Mr Byun
Tulips are in many colors like rainbow
Using different colorful nature pieces to make a rainbow tulip
Inside a tulip is pollen where bees collect the pollen to make honey
Pretty tulips come only when it’s Spring
So many beautiful and colorful tulips to choose from
Wowza! What a beautiful poem…you use so many descriptions in your writing. I love when you compare tulips to rainbows…just amazing, I can picture it in my mind! I’m going to go on a tulip hunt on my next walk!
Nowhere seeing garbage
Always hearing birds chirping
To many beautiful trees to chose from
Using nature to make a project
Riding my bike looking at cherry blossoms
Eating cookies on a picnic mat
Ahhh…I love eating cookies on a picnic mat! Sounds like you had a lovely bike ride in the neighbourhood today! I just came back from my walk and I’m feeling so refreshed 🙂
beautiful stars up in the sky

oh it is so beautiful
shining in the clouds
so lovely so peacful
oh it makes me so happy

Sounds like you went for an evening walk last night! Could you see the stars in the sky? Lovely!
