Hi Everyone,
I hope you and your loved ones are well. This week’s learning opportunities largely focus on a rainbow theme and 3Dimensional shapes. We haven’t forgotten mom’s/caregivers so have included a couple of activities on Friday that we hope your child can do somewhat independently so you have a bit of a surprise on Sunday. There are no additional spelling sheets in the drop box this week as we allow two weeks for review lists due to their length. We will continue with our weekly Zoom meetings at 11:00 on Monday and 10:00 on Thursday (Login information will be sent via email each week). I hope to see you there!
By Friday, I would like students to email me 1) A picture of Monday’s literacy
2) One of your math assignments (If not working on Prodigy) 3) You will have the opportunity to share your weekly challenge during Thursday’s Zoom meeting if you would like to
Please note: I am following the guidelines set out by our District Superintendant, Sylvia Russel. The activities I am offering are ‘learning opportunities’.
'Kindergarten-Grade 3 planning will focus on language and literacy as well as numeracy from the provincial curriculum; an average of five to seven hours of learning opportunities per student per week'.
That equals approximately 1- 1.5 hours/day.
Home Learning: Week #5
May 4th-8th
*Please note: Students are encouraged to read 15 minutes/day in addition to the activities outlined below.
Monday
Language/Literacy
Brainstorm and write down ways to show kindness to others. Use an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of white paper to make a cloud, in that cloud in big letters write ‘Be A Rainbow in Someone Else's Cloud!’ You can use felts to trace over letters to make this colourful. Cut out the cloud. Then on strips of coloured paper (all the different colours of the rainbow) write the words you have brainstormed e.g.) smile, share your snack. If you don't have coloured paper, just use white paper and colour. Add these strips to the cloud in the correct order of a rainbow.
Numeracy
Go on a 3D shape scavenger hunt around your house. What 3D shapes can you find? Can these 3D shapes Stack? Slide? Roll? Ask your parents’ permission before going into cupboards. Choose 3 of the shapes and count the faces (flat parts), vertices (corners) and edges (line between two corners). Draw/label the shape and record your answers.

Spring Collections: Choose an item from nature that you can see
in your yard. From your window, guess how many you might find. Check your guess by collecting the items and counting your total. Now use your collection and imagination to create something new!

What’s Going on Outside Your Window? Pick a window of time: It can be 5 minutes or all day long, and keep an eye out for what happens. Are people walking by? Birds hanging out? How many trees can you see? Collect your information (data) and find a way to visualize it. Can you display the data in a chart, table, graph or even a timeline?

3D Match (Week 5 Printables). Cut out card and create a ‘Memory game’. Whenever you find a match, record it on the answer sheet. If you don’t have access to a printer, create your own Memory game by drawing/taping pictures and words inside an old set of playing cards.

Mother’s Day is on Sunday! Make a rainbow of coupons your mom/caregiver can use. Examples: This coupon is good for unlimited hugs. This coupon is good for 30 minutes of quiet time for mom. This coupon is good for one free bedroom clean up (without complaining ). This coupon is good for setting the table.
1. Cut 7 strips of paper (use a ruler so they are about the same width).
2. Write your coupon idea on each strip
3. Colour the end of the strip in a rainbow colour and/or draw something in that colour eg. Red flower Orange butterfly etc. (Remember ROY G.BIV)
4. Put the strips in the order of the rainbow
5. Ask an adult or older sibling to help you staple it (or you could use a paperclip)
6. Put it somewhere safe until Sunday

(Word bank: Thank you Happy Mother’s Day Love appreciate hugs kisses awesome best)
