Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a restful time at home. The following are some activities for you to complete while we are in isolation. I have also posted these activities to our Teams page. Please email me if you have any further questions. See you again tomorrow at 11 AM on Zoom for our class community meeting!

Mindful Morning

This morning (or afternoon) your task is to make your favourite meal! This could be anything from a piece of toast with cheese to a dish you make with your family. As you begin to eat your favourite meal, take the first few minutes to reflect on the following question:

• How does the smell, sight, taste, touch, and/or sound of your favourite food make you feel? Feel free to draw or take pictures of your meal and email them to me :). Happy cooking!

Language Arts

Hello, writers! Your Extreme Writing Topics for today. Watch the video below, then give yourself 10 minutes to write about whatever topic(s) inspire you! You can either keep this writing and hand it in when I see you in class again, or you can e-mail it to me! – Ms. Ward

1. Write a story from the perspective of the beluga whale. What is the whale thinking? Does the whale like the music? Is the whale ‘singing’ along?
2. Do you play any musical instruments? If so, what? If not, what would you like to play (ex: guitar, saxophone, kazoo)?
3. Do you think animals like music? Why or why not?
4. Write a story about an animal starting a band or playing an instrument. What happens?

Math

Recently, we have begun our new unit on measurement! Your task for today is to measure a variety of objects and see if you can find some that fit the following criteria. Remember to think about whether you are measuring in centimeters (cm) or millimeters (mm). Please use a ruler.

1. How many millimeters are in a centimeter?
2. Find an object that is less than 10 cm long.
3. Find a food that is greater than 60 mm long.
4. Find an object around your house that has a length between 90 mm to 150 mm.
5. Find an object that has a width of 5 cm.
6. Find an object that has a width between 10cm and 20cm.
7. What is a trick you can come up with to help you remember the difference between length and width?

Please write down your results on a piece of paper to be handed in on Thursday. You can also email me your answers as well.

Check back here tomorrow for your next set of activities! 🙂
