Good Morning, Division 4, 

I hope you and your families had a lovely weekend together. It was so wonderful connecting with all of your families last week. I loved hearing about all the things you are doing with your families – going for walks, playing with your siblings, reading together, writing stories, building, sharing gratitude, calling your grandparents, creating science experiments, designing math challenges, and so much more. 

Later this week, you will be receiving your Div. 4 Microsoft Teams account. In the meantime, don’t forget that you can also use your Microsoft 365 One Drive account and Eportfolio to be expressing your learning.

See if you can start your new “school” week routines today! What will be your shape of the day?

Here are some ideas for today:

  • Try a mystery science: How does your heart pump blood? Have you explored the circulatory system of your AIP animal? Does its body system work the same way? 
  • You can practice your typing using All the Right Type (check your planner for your account information, but let me know if you want me to re-send it!)
  • Go for a walk with your family and take some photos of things that inspire you! Check on your spring bud!
  • Will you continue your gratitude journal this week? 
  • Check out  Tumble Books
    • You can read books, do quizzes, and even a simple “book report”. If you finish a quiz or book report, please press “print” but then put your settings to “print to PDF” so you can save a copy of your work on your computer!
  • Math: Close to 100: (from YouCubed:  http://tiny.cc/v0mqlz ) You can either download the handout OR create your own grid by drawing the lines with a ruler. Use a 10×10 grid (or less as an adaptation) 
    • Goal is to fill the grid paper with math arrays. 
    • Roll 2 dice (or 1 if you only have one). 
    • Each die is a number. On the grid, colour in the squares. It can be anywhere on the grid. 
    • Record the number sentence (Eg. 2 x 3 = 6) at the bottom of the grid or on another piece of paper. 
    • Keep going until you have filled the grid as much as possible. How many squares are left? 
    • NOTE: this activity can be one person or two people. If two people, each person can use a different coloured pencil. 
  • Continue a project from last week!

Here are a few more featured artists, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers from Division 4 to start your week!

       

Keep sharing your awesome photos! And be sure to let me know which photos are shareable for the blog!
