-MR. WATTS’ BIRTHDAY IS APRIL 24. With your parent’s help, you are invited to write a Happy Birthday email to Mr. Watts. I’m sure he will be thrilled to receive birthday wishes at the following address: glen.watts@burnabyschools.ca

-WRITING TOPIC: Choose a topic from the daily writing topics list and write for 15 minutes. Don’t forget your picture:)

-WRITER’S WORKSHOP: Open your Writer’s Workshop bag. Create a character (a person, animal, creature etc.) using some or all of the items in the bag. You may also use recyclable items that you have in your home ( toilet paper rolls, cans, egg cartons, paper etc). After you have made your character give them a name and write in your journal about them. What do they like? What are they like? (friendly, happy grumpy, thoughtful, creative…). Make sure that you don’t lose your character! We will be doing more writing with them.

NUMERACY

-2D SHAPES : In your 2D pack, look at the first 8 pages with the 8 different shapes. Open your math tools baggie and take out your playdoh. Make the shapes with the playdoh (One shape at a time, then reusing the playdoh. There isn’t enough playdoh to make all 8 at one time).

Write how many sides and how many vertices (corners) each shape has.

-SHAPE HUNT: Choose a book and see how many shapes you can see in the books illustrations (pictures).

For example, in the picture below I see 10 circles on the bus, 2 ovals for the scuba diving masks, and 5 rectangles on the bus. Use tally marks to see which shape appears the most in the book. ( See picture below). Count by 5s. Which shape wins?
