Good morning Montecito! It’s amazing to think that June is here!!

Here are your morning announcements from Ms. Hall.

Parents, can you please have a look at these lost and found items?! If something belongs to your child please let us know and we will put it with their belongings.

#1. Reading: Would these 10 students please complete the Flight Check on Raz-Kids: Andy, Atticus, Daniel, Ella, Ernie, Grayson, Heloisa, Lucya, Mariam and Vicky! It will take less than 5 minutes! The instructions are on Monday, May 25th’s blog.

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

#2. Math: Today you will be learning about weight or mass (they mean the same thing). Earlier in the year you learned about matter. Everything on Earth is made of matter (gas, liquids and solids) and all matter has mass.

  • Grade 2’s: Normally we would use balance scales to compare the weight of an object. You probably don’t have a balance scale at home, so watch this video to find out how to use a balance scale. Next, complete Worksheet 1 &2
  • Grade 3’s: While we commonly use pounds to measure our weight, it is part of the imperial system used by the United States. In Canada, and many other countries throughout the world, we use the metric system. Grams and kilograms are a part of the metric system. There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. I kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds. Watch this video to learn more about mass. For today’s work, please read each question carefully.  Worksheet 1 & 2

#3. Writing: This is the first of 3 lessons this week for another persuasive writing piece. Take a look at the difference between a fact and an opinion, and what it means to persuade.

Today you will sort the squares in the sheets below into facts and opinions. You could print, cut and sort the papers into two groups, write the facts and opinions in two columns, or sort them orally (by telling the answers to a parent or older sibling).

#5. P.E.: Stay active and choose an activity for the day:

#6.  Art: (for fun-optional!) Art for Kids    Today’s art lesson: draw a shark! 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!
