Hello Division 13!
Month: April 2020
Hello Division 13!
I am popping in to say hi and to see how everyone is doing. I miss you all very much! I hope everyone is doing well and working on the packages prepared by Mrs Curtis. The virtual field trip to Seattle Aquarium seems super cool! I will be helping Mrs. Curtis on preparing the packages for you and finding more interesting online resources in the upcoming weeks! So stay tuned!
Stay safe and healthy! Hope that I get to see all of you soon!
Much love,
Ms. Lee
PS: this is a reminder from Mrs. Curtis that since Monday is a Pro-D day, your next packages will be ready for pick-up on Tuesday, April 28. Don’t forget to return the books, and your letter. I can’t wait to read them!
Hi friends!
Hopefully most of you have been able to pick up your work package for this week. You will notice that the sight word work and the number of the day work look the same as last week. Hopefully you’re on a roll with that and can keep those going. There is also a different Scavenger Hunt. I only received a few of your scavenger hunts back, so if you can, remember to text or email a photo of the one you make up, and I will send them out to another student to do. You can also do another 3 pages in your “Lock-down Diary.” Tell me about a movie or tv show you’ve watched, draw a self-portrait, and note a few things you’re doing from getting too bored.
This week’s pack also includes a blank letter form and a deck of cards. I would like you to use the deck of cards to play some math games. 2 different games I would like you to play are “War” and “Make 10.” you can watch these videos to learn how to play them:
Make 10
War
I would also like you to use the paper to write me a letter. You can tell me how you’re feeling, what you’re doing, or even what you want to do when this is all over. Anything that’s on your mind! When you are done, return it to school with your books next Monday so I can read it.
Another fun thing I would like you to do this week, is go on a field trip! What?!? That’s right! Take a virtual field trip to the Seattle Aquarium. Then pick something you liked or something you learned to write about in your journal. You can get to it here by clicking here: Seattle Aquarium virtual field trip
Lastly, if you would like something fun to do with your body, check out PE Joe
As always, if you have any questions or need support from us in any way, just give me a text or an email.
Have fun and stay safe!
Hi friends,
It sure was nice to talk to everyone this week! It seems like you are all still doing well, even though you are missing your friends at school. Remember, I will call you every week but, in the meantime, if you need to ask or tell me something you can always text or email me.
I have received a few scavenger hunt photos. When I receive more, I will start sending them out so you can do a scavenger hunt created by one of your classmates.
On Monday April 20th from 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. your parents are invited to pick up another package of activities. Please remember to return the 5 books from your first package. Put them in the envelop labelled with your name and drop them off at school. In your new package you will receive 5 new books to enjoy!
I will also post again tomorrow with some guidance on your new package, although the work is similar to this week. If you aren’t able to pick up the package tomorrow, please let me know so that we can make alternate arrangements.
I am so happy and impressed that everyone was able to pick up their work packages from school today! Inside you should have found a Ziploc bag with school supplies, including a drawing book and a writing book, 5 leveled reading books, sight word work, number of the day math work, and a “Lock-down Diary.”
Work to do every day: 1 page of sight word work, 1 number of the day, and read 1 new book
Other work for this week: complete the “Inside Scavenger Hunt,” then use your writing book to make up your own scavenger hunt for someone else to do. If you text or email me a photo of it, I will send it out to someone to do later. I also invite you to do the first 3 pages of the Lock-down Diary as a keepsake for yourself.
I do not need any of the work returned to me. I will be phoning everyone to discuss their work later this week, and look forward to the photos of all your scavenger hunts! You will return the reading books to school when you pick up the next package, and get new books then, just like when we go to the library. The pick-up time for package 2 will be Monday, April 20 from 9am-2pm. Please return the books in the envelope they came in, so we know who has returned them and who hasn’t.
If you are interested in more learning, please check out the following websites:
Starfall (you DO NOT need to login, just click on “Grades 1, 2, 3)
Epic Books (enter the class code: hls5607 then find your name)
Please send me an email or a text if you have any questions!
Stay safe and healthy, and try to enjoy the sunshine!

Hi friends! I miss you all and hope that I will be able to see everyone soon!
I managed to talk to almost everyone in person last week, and almost all of you expressed a desire to have paper work to do at home, as well as some online learning resources. Next week we will have packages for you to pick up at the school. They will have work for you to do, books to read, and school supplies. Once we have more details about when, where and how to pick up these packages, I will contact you with the information, and update this post.
The weeks after that we will start adding some online resources for those of you who have access. They will include educational websites such as Raz-Kids (for reading) and Prodigy (for math). I will be setting up class accounts and providing you with passwords, so there is no need to do that on your own.
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, and finding a little fun and comfort every day. As always, if there is anything I, or the school, can do to help you with any concern, please let us know. Thanks for your patience as I navigate this new way of teaching, and all this new technology I’m trying to learn!
Love you all, and talk to you soon!
