Hi class,

There is no “assignments” today. As we are nearing the end of our school year, I have reflected on my year at Capitol Hill and I just wanted to tell you all that my year was one of the most special years ever. After moving from school to school for the past 5 years, I have finally found a home in Capitol Hill and will love to continue to learn with you all next year. Thank you all for making my experience here so positive. I hope you all get some rest this summer and not get too bored. Tomorrow on Mrs. Armstrong’s website, there will be our final class meeting.

In the meantime, here are a few links to some games you can play:

  1. Jeopardy: https://jeopardylabs.com/browse/
  2. Family Feud: https://zone.msn.com/en/familyfeud/default.htm

Good Morning everyone,

Only two more weeks left until summer vacation. Well, Summer at least because I don’t know if any of us will be allowed to go on vacation. Today is a more relaxed day as we are done our readings of Charlotte’s Web. I hope you all get to go outside and enjoy some of the sun finally!

1. Charlotte’s Web (Paragraph writing):

In your blog post today, I want you to think about the whole story before you write a short paragraph answering the following questions.

Friendship is a major theme of the novel. Can you talk about one friendship from the story and what they did for each other in the friendship? Why was their friendship so good? Did they trust each other? Did they help each other during a hard time? Think about what the word “friend” means to you. Who are your friends? Why are they your friends? What does friendship mean to you?

Please answer most or all of the questions above in a full paragraph. (Yes, this is the last paragraph you’ll have to write this school year, I promise!)

2. ART: How to draw Wilbur and Charlotte

Here is an opportunity for you to try and draw out an image from Charlotte’s Web! Best of luck and have fun with it! You can send me your pictures to my email: justin.wu@burnabyschools.ca

3. Brainteasers! ( I will post the answers at 3 pm today)

A mystery word worksheet from our collection of #Brainteasers for kids

ANSWER: SILLY

A mystery word worksheet from our collection of #Brainteasers for kids

ANSWER: PIRATE

4. Charlotte’s Web Movie

I’m sorry I couldn’t find the link to the newer version of this movie, but here is the original cartoon version made by Paramount back in 1973. That’s 20 years before I was born, so this is really old! Anyways, hope you enjoy the movie! Try to make a snack to eat while you watch this movie. (Example: ice cream sundae, some popcorn, nachos, chicken wings and fries if you’re feeling fancy, and maybe some candy?)

Dear COVID-19,

Did you know that you’ve really affected my life and the whole entire world? You locked down the whole world since March, even though we knew about you in January. I can’t believe it has been this long that you’ve stuck around. I’m sick of it … and I’m sick of you. Can you please go away forever? We understand that we will all wash our hands more. We promise.  But something good that came out of this whole thing is that I can wear pajama’s to work, because I’m working from home. Another thing I love is that my wife and I got to pick up our little puppy and spend so much time with her. We are so happy about her and she is just an angel. Anyways COVID, please go away so the world can go back to normal now. Thank you very much.

-Mr. Wu

Example:

Weeks and weeks of this isolation where we stay at home,

The Coronavirus is no joke as the news has shown.

I sit at home waiting to return to school.

But let’s not take this lightly and make this idea look like a fool.

Even though people are allowed to see each other,

We must remain our distance from one another.

So let’s be safe and continue to stay home when we can,

Until we hear from the news that there is no Social Distancing ban.

I’ll see you soon but we must continue to believe,

That we will overcome Corona and all of it’s grieve.

3. PE: 15 minute whole body workout (beginner)
