Hi Everyone,
I hope you and your loved ones are well. The weather is supposed to be a bit unsettled for our long weekend but fortunately the trails are open so hopefully you can get out for some family exercise in the shelter of the forest.
By Friday, 1) Please have your child record him/herself reading a story from their reading room in RAZ kids and complete the quiz independently (instructions are in the week 7 email) 2) Email a math assignment (if not on Prodigy) 3)Students can share this week’s challenge at our Thursday Zoom meeting
Please note: I am following the guidelines set out by our District Superintendant, Sylvia Russel. The activities I am offering are ‘learning opportunities’. Please feel free to use my weekly suggestions as you see fit.
'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'. So, that would equal approximately 1- 1.5 hours/day.

Listen to a piece of music – describe how the music makes you feel. List your feelings. Write a review of the song and share it with a friend. Maybe they’ll listen to the song!

Find the perimeter of an area of your home. It could be the living room, the backyard, a basement area or a hallway. Measure the perimeter using your outstretched arms or lunges. Track your measurements. Have a family member measure the same areas with their own arms or lunges. Discuss reasons why the results will be different from person to person.

Do you think you will go farthest hopping, skipping or taking giant steps? Put these actions in order from greatest distance travelled to least distance travelled.
1.Hop forward 100 hops (you can stop for rests along the way). Mark your end point with an object.
2. Skip 100 times (put down a marker)
3. Take 100 giant steps (put down a marker)
Was the order you estimated correct?
