Good Morning Division 8!

Please enjoy the morning announcement presented by Mrs. Lusignan and Ms. Mihaylova (Ms. Vesa).

Join Mrs. Leroux at 10:30 on Zoom.  The link can be found in the posts on Teams.  We will be brainstorming ideas for our next writing assignment by talking about how to protect our health and the health of others during Covid. Brainstorming notes will be posted on this blog following the 10:30 Zoom meeting.

#1. Writing: During our Zoom meeting at 10:30 we will brainstorm a list of healthy practices during the Covid pandemic.  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 ways that you can protect your own health. In the second sentence I would like you to choose and write two ways that you can help to protect the health of others. 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 Personal and Social Responsibility Assignment folder.  This assignment is due by Friday.

#2. Reading: 

  • RazKids: read 1-2 stories and complete the questions
  • MySciLearn: read your second story of the week
  • Epic Books: read for enjoyment after you have completed the rest of your work

#3. Math: Yesterday you learned about perimeter. Perimeter is measuring the distance around an object. Today you will be learning about the area of a object. Area is the space an object takes up. For example, if I have a yard that needs grass, I would need to figure out the area of the yard. If I wanted to put a fence around it, I would need to know the perimeter.

  • Grade 2’s: On the first worksheet, count the cubes that cover an area, and write the answer. Do the same on the second sheet, but imagine how many cubes would fill the space.  Worksheet 1 &2
  • Grade 3’s: On the first sheet, count the squares to find out the perimeter and area of each object. The instructions say to use a ruler, but you don’t need one. Just count the squares as 1 cm. On the second sheet, colour each object the colour that matches the perimeter and area of each object. Worksheet 1 & 2 

#4. Physical Health: Please choose an activity or two to complete 30 minutes of exercise today.

  • learn a few tap steps!
  • get outside for a walk or bike ride
  • Go Noodle
  • PE with Joe : a new video
  • Cosmic Kids Yoga

#5.  Art: (for fun-optional!) Art For Kids Today’s art lesson: draw an ice cream cone! If you would like to share a drawing with the class, please ask a parent to email me (Mrs. Leroux) your picture and I will put it into the Gallery.  Have a look in the Gallery to see all the drawings that are already there!

Have a great day off tomorrow and a fabulous weekend!!
