Good morning Division 8! Today it is Benjamin’s 8th birthday!!! We wish you a fun filled day of celebration!!

Please enjoy today’s morning announcements presented by the Mr. Happy family.  Can you guess who’s family this is?

#1. Reading:

  • MySciLearn: start your second story of the week. Read for 20 minutes. (or)
  • RazKids: read 1-2 stories and complete the questions. If you have not recorded yet this week, record 1 story.
  • Epic Books: read for enjoyment after you have completed the rest of your work

#2. Writing: This is the second day of working on your persuasive writing piece about what animal you want to convince your mom and dad to get as a pet. You will need your brainstorm from yesterday to write this. First, complete in the topic sentence that starts with, “The pet I think we should get ______“. Next, choose your top 4 reasons from your web and in a sentence write the reasons you want this pet. Finally, make a conclusion sentence. A conclusion retells the topic sentence with some extra details. You could start the sentence like mine and write, “I would like a pet ________ and I promise to _________“. Keep this sheet in a safe place because you will need it on Friday to finish the lesson. At that time, families will be asked to submit the writing work from this week. Sorry for the error, here is the student copy of the sheet!

#3. Math: You will need a ruler to measure today. If you can’t find one in your house, take a look on your planner bookmark. This is also a sheet you won’t be able to do without a printer. If either of these is a problem, head over to IXL and complete V.3 (Measurement- measure using a centimetre ruler)

  • Grade 2’s: You will be measuring items using a ruler. Be sure to start at the 0 marker or the first line you see. Don’t start at 1 or your measurement will be wrong. Look at the number where the item ends and write it down.   worksheet 1 and 2
  • Grade 3’s: You will be measuring items using a ruler and estimating (making a good guess) how long you think an item is. Just like the grade 2’s, be sure to start at the 0 marker or the first line you see. Don’t start at 1 or your measurement will be wrong. Look at the number where the item ends and write it down. On the second sheet, you estimate by deciding if you think an object is more than or less than 10 cm. All you will do is put a check in the box. Then you will measure the length and put the answer in the spots at the bottom of the question.   worksheet 1 and 2

#4. P.E.: Try this beginner workout with Coach Joe from P.E. with Joe.

#5. Art: This is optional. Continue making a poster for the staff parade on Thursday at 1:00. If you missed the email of the parade route, please message Mrs. Nicoll and she will send you the information.
