Howdy Div. 5,  

Today, you will be either starting or continuing your Microsoft Teams scavenger hunt and first assignment! Please let me know if you need any support with this. Please continue to be good digital citizens online! 🙂 

As we approach the long weekend, I want to thank you for all the images and messages of hope that you have shared with your class. I hope your family has a restful, relaxing time. These last few weeks have been a big adjustment and we will continue to figure this out together.  I hope you can connect with your family, friends and community in a safe way.

A few ideas for today and the long weekend: 

  • You could do this Covid Time Capsule activity with your family – thank you, Emma and Tamara for sending this great idea! 
  • Check out these music sites (thank you, Mr. Douglas!):
  • Today’s Mystery Science lesson is: Why do snakes shed their skin?  
  • A weekly or daily gratitude journal –
    • What are you grateful for? Who are you grateful for? While you are writing or drawing, notice how you feel.
  • Continue our kindness activities throughout the weekend to connect with family and community 
  • If you haven’t completed the STEM challenge, that’s another great activity you could do! Here’s another example of a great build from a Div 5 student!
  • Multiplication Game 
    • Split a deck of cards between two players (use cards A-10, but for a challenge you can use J [11], Q [12], and/or K [13 or some other value]). 
    • Players do not look at their cards. 
    • Each player draws their top card and slaps it down at the same time. 
    • The player who says the product first wins that round and collects the cards – ex, Player A draws 5, and Player B draws 6. Player A says, “30,” first and collects both cards. 
    • Whomever has the most cards at the end of the game, wins! 

Make sure you check Teams on Tuesday for another assignment! 🙂

Happy Long Weekend!

<3,

Ms. Yee
