35 mail Letter Cliparts PNG cliparts for free download | UIHere

Letter writing is an enjoyable activity for those who write and also for those who receive them. If we didn’t have devices and technology we wouldn’t be able to FaceTime, use messenger apps, see our friends and family through video calls or talk on the phone.

Today, I would like you to write a letter to a family member or friend. Think about who you’re writing to. Address them at the top. When you’re addressing a letter you can say Dear… or To: …. or think of another way to greet someone and begin your letter. Write what you want to say and then sign your name. You can decorate this letter too! If you are able to, it might be nice to try mailing it and see how long it takes for your friend or family to receive it! If you can’t send it through the regular mail, maybe you can try taking a picture of it and sending it to that person 🙂

Think about the goal of your letter. Are you checking in with someone to say hi? Are you writing to them to see how they’re feeling and if they are doing ok? Do you want to know what they’ve been doing lately? Do you want to share an experience or what you have been up to? Are you using this letter to mark a special occasion like a birthday?

*If this letter is private and your child doesn’t want to share it with me, I respect that and you don’t have to send in a photo to me!

Friday June 19-Father’s Day Card or Letter

43,042 Happy Fathers Day Cliparts, Stock Vector And Royalty Free ...

Our Dad’s do lots of amazing things! They are incredible and strong people who do whatever they can to help us! Father’s Day is on Sunday June 21st and while you may do something special this day or if you spread it out and do special things for your Dad every day, today I would like you to do one of the following:

-Make a card for your Dad. It doesn’t have to be anything super fancy, but of course, if you would like to make it fancy go for it! Make sure you write Dad or whatever you call him at the top. Write a message to him. Think about what he does for you, what you can say thank you for, why he is special to you, what you like to do with him…  Write who the card is from at the bottom! You can write From: or Love: …. Draw a picture and decorate!

-Write a letter to your Dad and write about what he means to you! Why is he special? What makes him a great Dad? What do you love about him? What does he do that makes you happy?

Here are some stories that you might want to listen to about Dads! 

“When Dad’s Don’t Grow Up”-Marjorie Blain Parker 

This book is a celebration of Dads who remember what it’s like to be little and who have fun with their kids! Video

“Jabari Jumps”-Gaia Cornwall

This book is about a boy, Jabari, who wants to jump off the high diving board at the pool. This story is about overcoming your fears and highlights a moment between a reassuring Dad and his determined son. Video

*You do not need to submit a photo of your child’s card or letter for Father’s Day as some kids like to keep it private because it’s so special!

Here is an example with some sentence starters if you need them!

To: Dad

Thank you for everything you do for me. I love that we…..

You are special to me because….

Happy Father’s Day!

I love you.

Summer break is almost here. We have this week and next week of school and that’s it for the school year! Write about your favourite memories from this school year and tell me why these memories were your favourite. 

(Think about what you did at recess and lunch, think about some things we did as a class (Urban Safari Rescue Society visit, walk to the library, animal project…), think about the school events (crazy hair day, hat day…), what you played, who you did things with…).

Grade 1 Math 

*The third page in this document is more difficult. It requires finding a missing number in an equation, but with double digits. To solve the equations and find the missing number it’s the same as what we have done before with single digits. Subtract one of the numbers provided in the equation from the answer and that’s the missing number!  I have included it in case you would like the challenge, but feel free to skip it!

Using a blank piece of paper, please organize the following words in alphabetical order.

Grade 1’s:

  • paper
  • pen
  • alligator
  • mole
  • zebra
  • dog
  • spider
  • tree
  • flower
  • Canada

Grade 2’s:

Math for Grade 1’s-Greater Than/Less Than 

For this concept, I’m introducing using < or > to indicate greater than or less than.

The symbol < indicates less than, for example 5 < 10.

The symbol > indicates more than, for example 5 > 1.

*A strategy to remember the direction of the symbols is to think of the symbol as being an alligator mouth. The alligator mouth always opens towards the larger number to eat as much as possible!

Grade 1’s: Word Problem Practice

Worksheets: 3 Addend Addition Word Problems Within 20

Grade 2’s: Multiplication Introduction 

*Try to complete the worksheets and practice drawing the circles and x’s to help if needed, if you don’t have a printer, please just practice drawing the groups and how many are in each group for some of the equations on a blank sheet of paper.

Multiplication is a faster way to add numbers. With multiplication, we have multiples of a certain number to add. For multiplication the key concept is to put objects or numbers into groups. For example, if I had 3 groups of students (5 students in each group) and wanted to know how many kids I have in total, I could figure out the total number of kids by adding 5 + 5 + 5. Or I could multiply 5 x 3 which means 3 groups of 5. To solve this, I like to draw pictures to help. I use circles to represent my number of groups, 3 circles for 3 groups. In each group, I make 5 x’s to represent how many people are in each group. At the end, I count all my x’s and can visually see how many people there are in total.

You can do this with any equation! In the second picture, I did the example 7 x 4 and 4 x 7. As you can see, it doesn’t matter what order the numbers come in, the answer is the same. Also, I drew the pictures differently. In the first drawing, I drew 7 groups of 4 x’s and then in the second drawing I drew 4 groups of 7 x’s. You can see that it’s still the same. 4 groups of 7 and 7 groups of 4 is the same. Image previewImage preview
