Hi all,

You might be bored of reading by now, so here is an activity that will test your artistic and creative side. Below will be a video on how to sew a face mask. Best of luck. Please send me pictures: justin.wu@burnabyschools.ca

Jacob’s Masks:

Hi again again, 

This one is for your parents. In case you need some new free apps for your kids, please look at the following:

READING:

EPIC:

This resource has over 40,000 books including: fiction, non-fiction, audiobooks, read-to-me books and chapter books. Can be done on a laptop or iPad. In addition, there are comprehension questions to help check their understanding of the texts/books.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC KIDS:

Learn with music. It helps them learn their literacy skills, and social/science topics. Some favourites include: math (adding, subtracting, and writing).

NUMERACY:

SPLASH MATH:

Hands down, a favourite for students in Kindergarten to grade 5. Students can work through a multitude of numeracy skills. What I like most about this program, is that it’s personalized to your child’s development.  The program will adapt to the way each child learns. If one skill seems a bit challenging, it will provide extra practice until students show improvements. 

PHYSICAL EDUCATION:

GO NOODLE:

Go Noodle is a great website that will allow your kids to have brain break. In an interactive way, your kids can participate in a short movement and mindfulness workout. Feel free to join them! This will give your kids the opportunity to wake up their bodies, develop movement skills, and have fun.

Talk soon,

-Mr. Wu

Hi Division 10,

It’s me, Mr. Wu … incase you forgot who I am. I hope everyone is staying inside (for the most part) and is being safe during this time. I know the world is a little crazy right now with the whole COVID-19 pandemic, but I assure you once this is all over, we will be in the same happy place to learn again. For now, our classroom will have to be online. I know that you all are secretly happy for this because you love using computers. 

For this post, your task is to tell me how your spring break went and what you have done to keep busy. 

* * * P.S. If you are reading this, please let the other people in our class know that this is how I will be communicating to you all. Thank you and stay safe! * * *

Hi class,

Sorry I couldn’t be with you all today. But, I promised that you would still get your ‘computer time’ in this week. Your post this week will be reading an article linked below. You will comment on whether you think the cancellation of sporting events and other large group setting events is necessary at this moment in time in BC. You can also talk about the travel bans and safety precaution for travelling over Spring Break.

Be safe this Spring Break. Wash your hands and don’t bite your nails like I do.

Hi all, 

I know that you have been hearing on the news alot about this virus, but here are some mythbusting facts about the virus. Please watch the video, then read the article. After, you will write in a paragraph what you can do to keep safe from this virus.

Myth 1: Canadian kids should be worried

While the coronavirus is considered an emergency in some parts of China right now, Henry said there is no emergency in Canada.

“We have systems in place to be able to detect it, to be able to test people for it,” she said, adding that doctors have the ability to “safely care” for any Canadians who might get sick.

Myth 2: The virus started in a Chinese lab or restaurant 

The idea that the virus started when somebody spilled a test tube in a Chinese lab, or that it started in a Chinese restaurant, or that it was unleashed as a form of terrorism, are all rumours and not true, Henry said.

The truth is “much more mundane” or boring, she said.

The coronavirus probably came from animals sold in a seafood market in China, she said.

At some point, the virus developed a genetic mutation that allowed it to pass to humans.

Myth 3: You’ll die if you get it

Most people who get infected have a “pretty mild illness,” Henry said, including a fever and cough. “It’s kind of like having a cold.”

A “small portion” of people get more seriously sick, Henry said. They may end up in hospital and even die.

But those patients have mostly been older people with weaker immune systems, she said.

Kids can keep their immune systems strong, Henry said, by eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep.

Myth 4: I should avoid Chinese neighbourhoods 

No. Health officials are taking “all necessary precautions” to “ensure all our communities are safe,” Henry said.

That includes assessing anybody who may have come in contact with the coronavirus and isolating them, if necessary, she added.

The idea that fear is making some people afraid to interact with Chinese people “makes me feel really sad,” Henry said. It isn’t necessary.

Myth 5: I shouldn’t order anything from China 

“There’s no evidence at all” that this virus can be transmitted on toys or electronics, Henry said.

The coronavirus can live outside of the body for maybe a couple of hours, she said. “But in a package that’s comes from China? No.”

Good Morning class-a-rooo!

Today, I will ask you to watch a YouTube video, and then you will talk about the change that Auggie went from when he first went to Beecher Prep to now. When he first started, he was the boy who no one wanted to touch because he had the ‘plague,’ but it seems that no one bothers him anymore. Talk about this change in a FULL paragraph please.

Hi all, 

I know there is a craze about Tik Tok and learning dances such as Renegade has become super popular. I even heard that you can even earn thousands of dollars per post, based on sponsorships and the amount of people following you. Stars have emerged … Addison Rae, Charli and Dixie D’amelio. You can even find athletes and celebrities making these short video clips. 

But apps like this doesn’t always seem so glamorous, there must be some ‘faults’ right? Please click the link below and read the article on the ‘not-so good things’ about Tik Tok. Afterwards, tell me whether you agree or disagree with the article.
