Tuesday, April 21st

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a good day yesterday. Mrs. Leroux and I got a chance to chat with some students from our class and it was so nice to see their faces! Please make sure you answer when your phone rings if you are joining our chat at 1 pm today.

Sorry that most of you were unable to see Mrs. Kimmie’s morning message yesterday.  Mr. Leech and Mr. Stefanek have us ready for today’s!

Morning Announcement!

Today’s assignment is as follows:

1. Reading: Finish reading the story from the reading program. If you finished yesterday, you can start a new one (students will be reading 3 books a week from the program).
2. Math: Grade 2’s and 3’s will have different math today. Feel free to complete all the assignments if you wish, but the grade 3’s need to learn about dollar bills and the grade 2’s aren’t required to know this yet.

• Grade 2’s: You will be adding up the coins and will write the value in cents if it is below $1.00 (for example 35¢) and in dollars if it is above a $1.00 (for example $1.32)                                                                                                                              Sheet 1            Sheet 2
•  Grade 3’s: You will be learning about the value of dollar bills and will add the bills up. The first sheet is to teach you the value of each bill. You don’t need to print it, just read it.                                                                           Learning sheet                 Sheet 1              Sheet 2

3. Writing: Tomorrow is Earth Day. It is a day we celebrate the earth and all the things it provides for us. Listen to a reading of one of my favourite picture books, The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.

In this story the tree gives and gives, and boy takes and takes. This is like how people treat the earth. The earth gives and gives, and we take and take. If we don’t stop taking, there will be nothing left. On lined paper, write a journal entry about what things you can do to help protect the earth. For example, you can plant a tree or garden, walk instead of drive, use reusable containers, and use a reusable water bottle. What else can you do?

You can start your writing with:

I can do many thing to help protect the Earth. I can_____________. 

Grade 2’s: write at least 3 detailed sentences.

Grade 3’s: write at least 4 detailed sentences.

Have a great day,

Mrs. Nicoll
