Hi Everyone,
I hope you and your loved ones are well. Here is an outline of week 8 Home learning. There will be one day next week that I will not be available during the day as I need to go into the classroom and make adaptations in preparation for the June 1st opening. We have not been given the information on what day that will be at this time but I will notify you once I have been assigned a day.
By Friday, I would like students to email me 1) Monday’s literacy (or students can record on RAZ kids) 2) A math assignment (if not on Prodigy) 3)The total score and measurements (height and width) of this week’s challenge. Please have your challenge nearby if you would like to share it at Thursday’s 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.
*Please note: Students are encouraged to read 15 minutes/day in addition to the activities outlined below.
Monday
Language/Literacy
While watching or afterwards sketch or write down what you have learned from this video. Is this book fiction or non-fiction why? What did you learn from this?
Numeracy
What is in the kitchen cupboard? Think of a sorting pattern for the food containers to organize them. Will you sort them by size and shape? Shape and Colour? Or something else? Sort them and see if someone can figure out your sorting rule. Try to make some different patterns.
DPA/Outdoor Learning/Science
Be Anything! March on the spot and when a command is given, jump into a frozen position representing an action, or statue. Leader calls out the frozen action. Telephone pole, baseball pitcher, quarterback throwing a football, mountain climber, race car driver, lightning bolt, etc.
Tuesday
Language/Literacy
Pretend you are on a “reading vacation” at the beach. Set up a towel to lay on, put on a bathing suit, or other beach attire, grab some water, maybe a snack, and lay on the “beach” reading your book, magazine, anything you have in your home to read. Do you need your sunglasses?
Numeracy
Measuring Penny (Two options). This activity is based on the story we will be watching and listening to on Zoom this week (half Monday and half Thursday) 1) design and make your own ‘Penny dog or cat’ out of construction paper. Measure her height/width/length with a non-standard unit and then in cm using a ruler 2) Measure one of your stuffed animals
DPA/Outdoor Learning/Science
Go to this website and scroll down the home page to the ‘Playing Cards’ workout.
*You can access this link anytime via our class blog under ‘Home Learning Links’.
Wednesday
Language/Literacy
Find or draw a picture. Without showing the picture to someone in your home, describe the picture. Use location language such as; (above, beside, under, right side, to the left of), shapes, colours, and/or how it makes you feel.
Numeracy
Family Foot Follow-up! Use the feet you traced last week, use the same size objects (e.g.) coins, paper clips, lego pieces, crayons) to measure the feet. Record your Estimate (guess how many it would take to measure the length of each foot using the non-standard units) then Estimate and Measure with a ruler using cm.
DPA/Outdoor Learning/Science
Baking in the Kitchen (with help)! Choose a favourite family recipe (or learn a new one) to make with the help of an adult. Gather and measure out the ingredients. Follow the recipe directions! Share and enjoy!
Thursday
Language/Literacy
Write words containing the following letter blends; br, bl, cr, ch, gr, sw, tr, th. See if you can come up with some of your own letter blends.
Numeracy
Cover a Book. This type of measurement is ‘AREA’
Find a group of the same item (e.g., Pokemon cards, lego blocks, Shreddies cereal) and use them to completely cover the surface of a book without any gaps or overlaps. How any did you use? Now choose a different group of items and do the same thing. What do you notice?
DPA/Outdoor Learning/Science
Outdoor Measurement Scavenger Hunt: See Printables Week #8
Friday
Language/Literacy
Create a commercial or advertisement to sell a product from a favourite story. For example: Pig’s brick house, a house made of gingerbread, a knight’s horse, Cinderella’s glass slipper.
Include a picture and reasons why someone would want to buy it.

Numeracy
Find 5 different sized cans in your kitchen cupboard. Hold one in each hand at a time. Compare their weights. Can you order the cans from least amount of weight (lightest) to the most amount of weight (heaviest)?
DPA/Outdoor Learning/Science
Crumple 3 pieces of the same size paper. One loosely crumpled, one crumpled a little tighter and one crumpled as small as you can make it. Try throwing each paper as far as you can. Which ball of paper goes farther? Why? Measure the distance of each throw using a measuring tape (with your parents help). Have a family challenge for the paper ball throwing world record.

On Epic – Whales By: Gail Gibbons Audio Book – that could be listened to while drawing and colouring your directed drawing.
This week’s challenge is…
Lego challenge! Place one piece of base lego (the one with 8 bumps on it) on the floor/counter. This is the only piece of lego that can touch the ground (or anything else other than other pieces of lego). Add additional pieces of lego to see how many pieces you can build off of this base without it tipping over. You cannot use any other supplies or lean the structure against anything, that’s the challenge! How wide is your sculpture? How tall? Bring your sculpture to Thursday’s meeting and be ready to share how many pieces it has and the dimensions in centimeters.
Answer:
1. Left, wrong and erase
2. His name was KFC
