#2. Writing: Yesterday during our Zoom meeting we brainstormed a list of Listening and Speaking Skills that we use during a Zoom meeting.  Today I would like you to record your ideas on the attached Worksheet.In the first sentence I would like you to choose and write two listening skills that you show during Zoom meetings. In the second sentence I would like you to choose and write two speaking skills that you show during Zoom meetings. In the third sentence, please choose one skill that you think you could get better at and then explain why you should get better at it or how you could improve. When finished, please upload your writing assignment to Teams in the Listening and Speaking Assignment folder.

#3. Math: 

  • Grade 2’s:  For the first sheet you will decide if an object would be measured in cm or m. Cut and paste the measurement you would put on the sheet. Worksheet 1 For the second sheet you will use your metre string (or whatever you used to measure a metre) and your ruler. Choose items in your house to measure. First estimate how long it is by guessing the size of the object. Then, measure how many metres and/or centimetres an object is.  Worksheet 2
  • Grade 3’s: For the first sheet you will need your metre string and a pencil or two (that are the same size). Lay the string out and count how many times the pencil fits along the string. You could lay your pencil down and flip, counting how many times you flipped your pencil; or, you could lay two pencils down, pick up the back pencil and bring it to the front. Count how many times the pencil fits along the string as you go. The second sheet  is covering (or changing ) metres into cm. We know that there are 100 cm in a metre.  How many cm are there in 3 metres? All you have to do is add two 0’s to the end of the number; so, 3 m=300 cm. Here is an example of another question. Which is bigger, 155 cm or 2 m? I know 2 m is 200 cm, so 2 m is bigger than 155 cm.    Worksheet 1 and 2

#4. Art: Art for Kids: Draw a popsicle!  You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and something to colour with.  Please put a spare piece of paper underneath your paper to protect your table.  The artist does the lesson with a marker. You may wish to do your drawing with a pencil in case you’d like to erase and make improvements.  You can always fine line the edges with a marker after you are done.

Bye for now!
