Dear Division 9 and 10 Families,

Welcome back to school (virtually)! I miss you all and hope you had a good Spring Break, spending quality time with family, despite everything going on. For the duration of the school closure due to Covid-19, I will be making one blog post a week which will include one movement activity (video link) and one song (link) for your child/children to sing and learn. I hope this will help keep them entertained while they are spending time with you at home.

On the right hand side, under TRANSLATE, you will see a drop down arrow option to translate my blog posts into the language of your choice. It is currently set to ‘English’.

If your children are looking for a fun way to keep active while being socially isolated at home, you can head to gonoodle.com – click on ‘Learn More’, then on ‘For Families’. This will provide you with many different dances and movement activities to keep your child/children moving! Feel free to join in and dance with them 🙂

Please check back each week for more songs and fun activities! If you would like an email notification each time I update the blog, feel free to add your email to the subscription box on the right side bar. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at nicole.quin@burnabyschools.ca

Take care and keep safe,

Ms. Quin

While we aren’t able to meet together in our classroom to make music, sing, and dance, I will do my best to provide you with activities you can do at home to continue your learning.

Movement Activity: For our first week I thought I would share one of your favourites!

 

Song Activity: Do you remember singing Down by the Bay? I thought it would be fun for you to review it. Once the song is done, see if you can think of any other rhyming words to add to the end. Sing the chorus again and add your own rhyme to the song. Share it with your family!

 

Story Yoga: I thought it would be fun to also include one yoga activity each week as well to help strengthen and stretch your bodies. Meet Jamie. She is going to lead you on a journey while using your bodies to tell a story. Share some of the yoga poses with your family.
