Hi Kiddos,

I was so excited and happy to hear so many of your voices yesterday!!! I miss you all so much! I look forward to speaking to those families I wasn’t able to connect with yesterday!

So many of you are continuing your learning at home which is fantastic. I’ve heard some of you have started new inquiry projects, some have been working on math and playing math games, some of been writing in journals, I even heard that someone has started their own book club with a friend from another city! Some of you have been going for hikes, playing games, and spending time with family, that’s wonderful too!! During this difficult time finding something to keep you occupied, happy, and connected is important. Keep up the awesome work Div. 5!

Today’s Boredom Busters…

• Lately we’ve been hearing a lot about how to keep ourselves safe. Did you ever wonder how exactly does hand sanitizer work? You can check out this mystery science video and activity to find out. You can watch the video, check out the bacteria and virus images from the microscope and then design your own “little alien robot” germ. Give your little germ a name and you can write a story or a comic all about your germ!
• You can try and play the following math games, you’ll need a deck of cards and for most of the games another human. 🙂
  • Click here for the game rules
• I’ve also heard that some of you have been practicing your French on Duolingo! Another great activity to help you continue your learning!
• Don’t forget to keep reading!!! Have you checked out Tumblebooks or  Audible yet?
  • Tumblebooks on the school’s library webpage! Look under reading and writing, it’s the last bullet point.

Take care and be safe!

<3,

Ms. Yee

Hi Goobers,

  • You can also check out this Mystery Science Video all about April Fool’s Day by clicking here.
• Don’t forget to read each day! 30 minutes is ideal! I’ve heard that some of you have been reading up a storm and that makes me SO happy! I finally finished the Unwanteds series, books 6 and 7. They were fantastic and I highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t already!
  • Don’t have anything left to read at home? Try Tumblebooks on the school’s library webpage!

Hi Division 5 Goobers and Families,

I hope you are doing well in this stressful and uncertain time. I miss you all very much and I know you’re missing my terrible jokes too. Myself and the other members of the UHE school community have been in constant contact (digitally of course) and we’re on our way to figure out what online learning will look like for you in these upcoming weeks. Until that is launched please see below for some activities you could be doing to help you continue your learning journey.

A great thing to start with is to think about what your daily routine or “Shape of the Day” will look like.

• What time will you wake up each school day?
• Can you choose a special “work space”?
• Which activities will you do today?
• Will you have access to technology (ipad or laptop) at a certain time during the day for school work?

Activities

Here are some activities you can choose to do today! These are just suggestions, not requirements. There are many ways we can learn at home!

• Science
  • Here is a mystery science activity for you: How is a Rainbow Made? First watch the video, then there is also an extension activity that you can try, if you’d like.
• Math
  • Play some math games to practice your fluency of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts
  • Check out these math websites to help you practice your fluency!
    • BC Math Games 
    • Math Diploma
• Reading
  • Read a book! Or two! Email me what you’re reading and your thoughts so far!
  • Listen to a story from Audible (free collection available)
• Writing
  • Create a visual journal about spring break – pictures and words about what you did
  • Write and draw about your favourite things about school! You can also include some things you would like to do during our distance learning!
• Daily Physical Activity
  • Ideas: walking, hiking, yoga, dancing!
  • Remember to take lots of physical activity breaks throughout the day
• Art
  • Spring is here! Find something to draw outside your window that shows spring is here!

Take care and be safe,

Ms. Yee  🙂

Hi families, 

Homework club is cancelled Wednesday Feb. 20th due to our monthly staff meetings. It will resume next week on Monday, but is also cancelled on Wednesday Feb. 27th due to early dismissal and CSL meetings. 

Ms. Yee

Hello Div 5, 

Over the weekend you are asked to explore the stories and experiences you and your family have across Canada. On your map you can include any significant place that hold a story like:

• Where you live now 
• Where you used to live (if this was in Canada)
• Where you were born (if you were born in Canada)
• Places you have visited
• Places your family have visited
• Places where other family or friends may live or have lived before
• Places that are part of a journey (ex: the flight path of Ms. Yee’s Oma and Opa)

Feel free to include any other places in Canada that hold stories and significance to you and your family.

On the back of you map include a LEGEND that explain what the symbols/colours/dashes mean. 

Please make sure you have the provinces and territories labelled and at least 3 places included on your map by Monday. 

Happy mapping & have a wonderful weekend!!!

~Ms. Yee

Dear families,

Homework club this Wed. Nov. 14th is cancelled due to a UHE staff meeting. It will resume as normal next week on Monday and Wednesday.

Thanks,

Ms. Yee & Ms. Carley

Dear Families of Div. 5

Some time ago Div. 4 & Div. 5 were asked to speak with their families and have them share 3 artifacts. Next week we will be writing about our families’ artifacts. It is very important that Div.5  comes to school prepared! We will be writing about our artifacts on Wednesday.

Families if you haven’t already, please choose 3 artifacts to share with your children. Think about items that represent important places to you and that hold a story you can share. Examples brainstormed were things like family immigration papers, passports, old letters, pictures, etc.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. (christine.yee@burnabyschools.ca)

Thanks, 

Ms. Yee
