“DO’S” (try to do these every day) |
1. Reading – try to check out RAZ kids this week. Ms. Mah reports that about half of our class has checked out this awesome website. Way to go! It would be amazing if every student could check it out sometime this week. This is a wonderful resource that is being offered for free right now! We are very fortunate to have access to it so let’s use it! 2. Get active |

–MONEY LESSONS: -please complete the remaining pages of “Identifying coins” booklet.
-EXTRA MONEY PRACTICE: Can you make groups of coins that equal the same value? For example, 3 dimes, 6 nickels, and one quarter/one nickel all equal 30 cents.
-EXPLORING SHAPES IN ART: Below are two pictures.
One shows the shapes that are found in aboriginal art work and the other is a picture that was created by Michelle Stoney who is a Gitxsan artist who lives in Hazelton, BC. She has worked very hard to get to the point that she’s at in her art and I have included her youtube biography here:
A note from Ms. Mah: “I have asked the artist if we have any questions, can I pass them along to her, and she has said yes:) So please think of any questions you have and I will pass them along. I will email everyone a few of her drawings for you to look at and colour. She has given us permission to do so.”
So, here is your assignment: What shapes do you see in the bumble bee? How many of each shape do you see? Can you draw a picture using these shapes?
-2D MATH BOOKLET: Make the die and then roll it 12 times and graph your results. I wonder if anyone will have the same results? After you’ve made your graph try to find all the I Spy shapes on the last page of the booklet.

–TAKE A BREAK: Sometimes when we are feeling a bit frustrated, or sad it’s a good idea to take a look at what is happening outside. Take a moment to go outside and find a tiny critter and sit back and observe what it is doing. Is it collecting food, flying, moving slowly, making a home? Take deep breaths as you watch them. You will find that after a while your body feels calmer. If you can’t get outside, sit by a window and watch the clouds or see if you can see the trees swaying in the wind. A lot is happening in nature when we take a bit of time to look closely:) |
