Hello Division 12!

You have done an excellent job remembering to return your reading books. Thanks! That means other students are going to get to read them, too.

This week we have changed it up for you! You will still have some sight word work, but it is a little bit different than before. We hope you enjoy these new ones. We are starting lots of new things this week. There is a printing book for you to practice forming letters properly. We have sent you letters A-E to start. There are 5 pages for every letter, but we just want you to pick 3. You can do the rest for fun, if you want. In your journal this week, we would like you to write about something you’ve done with your family to help pass the time, or something you want to do with your family when this is all over.

For math this week, we are starting geometry! There is a booklet about 2D shapes. 2D shapes are the flat ones that you can draw. You can learn about them by watching this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBCIGY3dWXQ. Another activity you can do is to use the Play Doh and toothpicks to make some shapes.

We also gave you some dice. In your package you will find 2 things to do with them. One is the “Connect 4” game you can play with someone, the other one is “Greater Than Less Than.” Do you remember how to use the <, >, = symbols??? You can also play a game called Pig. Watch this video to learn how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMFMpC3mC_0

As always, you have 5 new leveled books to read. Did you notice the books are a little bit harder? That’s because you are all becoming such good readers! You will also find a Geometry Scavenger Hunt and a colouring sheet to do.

Now that everyone has a computer or tablet to use, we are ready to do more learning online! In your package you have a piece of coloured paper with your logins and passwords for RazKids and Prodigy. We think you will like using these websites, and we will be able to see how well you’re doing on them.

If you have any questions, or need support with anything, please let us know. We’re here to help!
