Good morning everyone! I hope you enjoyed the hot weather we had and were able to get outside with your family. Today we will have a Zoom chat at 1:00 with half the class. If you have signed up, please go to Teams and click on link.

Here are your morning announcements from Ms. Hall.

#1. Reading: If you are using MySciLearn, finish your first story of the week and answer the questions. If you are using RazKids, read 1 story and answer the questions, then move to Epic books and read 1-2 stories of your choice.

#2. Writing: You will be working on persuasive writing today. What is persuasive writing, you ask? Well, it means convincing someone of something. Today you will write to convince your mom or dad to get you a pet. Some of you wrote about wanting a pet and being told you couldn’t have one, so here is your chance! If you don’t want a pet, you are still going to work on your convincing skills. It could be something that’s not even possible to have (like a dinosaur or an elephant). Think of your favorite animal or an animal you think is really neat (like a Koala Bear). This is the first part of this lesson.

  • Listen to the story, I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff
  • Complete a brainstorm of all the reasons you want this pet. In the center put the pet you want and in the outside circles put your reasons for wanting this pet. Here is an example of my writing:

#3. Math: Today you will be learning about measuring in centimetres. If you have a ruler, take a look at the numbers on it. A regular length ruler has the numbers 1-30 on it. Those numbers are centimetres. If you put your finger on the centimetre mark, you will notice that it is about the width of one finger.  Just like when we skip count using a calendar, we skip count when using a ruler. You don’t start at 0 and count that as one. Instead, you jump from 0 to 1 and count that as 1. In today’s work you will skip count the centimetres (you don’t need a ruler as the sheet has rulers on them).     Worksheets 1 &2

#4. Music: Join Mr. Smith at 2:30 for music. I will post his information in Teams in case parents have lost the information. This is optional.

#5. Art: Work on a poster for the teacher parade happening this Thursday afternoon. It could say something like: We Miss You, We Will All Be Okay, See You Soon, We Are In This Together, or anything of your choice! This is optional.
