Good morning Division 8! Today we have a group chat with Mrs. Nicoll at 1:00. We will be talking about your reading group assignment and I will introduce a new math concept called perimeter and area. Please join me on Zoom by using the code in Teams.  **The zoom meeting originally planned for Wednesday has been moved to Thursday to accommodate a last minute staff meeting. Sorry for the inconvenience. **

Here is today’s morning announcement presented by Ms. Hall.

#1. Reading Groups: We won’t be using the regular reading programs today. Instead, read aloud the following stories based on your reading group (students should know their group):

  • Blue Group: What is Covid-19 (Level 1)
  • Yellow and Purple Group: What is Covid-19 (Level 2)
  • Complete the questions below based on your reading group. If you are in the green or purple group, make complete sentences by using the question in the answer. For example, if the question is “Why shouldn’t we touch our face?” The answer would start, “We shouldn’t touch our face because ____”. I am leaving the sheet open to editing so students can type their answers on the sheet. When you save it, please hit “save as”, not “save” or you will change the file and everyone will see your answers. Submit the worksheet to Teams when completed.
  • Blue group questions
  • Yellow and Purple group questions

#2. Math: 

  • Grade 2’s: Today will be a review day. The first sheet is two digit adding with regrouping. Don’t forget to carry any tens over to the tens column and add them into your answer. The second sheet is writing the hour hand (the small hand) on the clock.  Worksheet 1 and 2
  • Grade 3’s: Today we will talk about millimetres (mm for short). Millimetres are quite small. There are 10 mm in 1 cm. Most of you have already figured out that the little lines on a ruler between each centimetre are millimetres. The order of measurement from smallest to biggest is mm, cm, m, and km. On the first worksheet, you will choose the best measurement by circling the answer.  On the second sheet you will also choose the best measurement. Question 14 asks, How far can you run in an hour? Most kids could probably run about 5 km an hour. Worksheet 1 and 2

#3. Music: Join Mr. Smith for his Zoom class at 2:30.

#4. Art: (for fun-optional!) Art For Kids Today’s art lesson: drawing a turtle! If you would like to share your drawings with the class, please ask a parent to email me (Mrs. Leroux) your picture and I will put it into the Gallery.  Just like before,  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.
