Good morning Division 8! I hope you had a restful and fun weekend.

Here are your morning announcements from Ms. Hall and Ms. Vesa.

#1. Reading: 

  • 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
  • Connect to the library link at the top of the blog and listen to Mrs. Field’s weekly story

#2. Math: Grade 2’s will continue to review two digit addition and subtraction this week, while the grade 3’s will continue to work on multiplication.

  • Grade 2’s: On the first sheet you will find a 1 digit problem written horizontally. They have taken the numbers from the 1’s column and are asking you to solve it above the question. Once you have added the 1’s column, write the number vertically on the 2 digit addition problem. Worksheets 1 & 2 
  • Grade 3’s: In your work today you will continue to relate multiplication to repeated addition. On the first sheet, solve the repeated addition question and the multiplication question, then draw a line to connect the the two that are the same. For example, if the problem 5 + 5 + 5=15 is the same as 5 x 3=15, I would draw a line to connect them. On the second sheet, it asks you to use counters. If you need to, find small objects to add with, but first try it without counters. Worksheets 1 & 2 

#3. Ms. Quan is Retiring: After nearly 30 years of teaching, Ms. Quan is retiring this year! We are putting together a book from the students. If you had Ms. Quan as a teacher, please complete this sheet. If you did not have Ms. Quan as a teacher and would like to wish her a Happy Retirement with some suggestions for activities she may enjoy with her free time, you too may also complete this sheet.  You can send your finished sheets to Mrs. Nicoll through email. Shhh, it’s a secret!

#4. P.E.: Try this 30 minute workout with various dance routines from Kidz Bop Dance . This has Fight Song and other familiar songs.

#5.  Art: (for fun! optional!)  Today we draw a dolphin. 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 magical Monday,

Mrs. Nicoll
