Parents please note: if your child is coming to school please refrain from doing the Tuesday/Thursday work at home, these assignments will be done at school. Thanks
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.
Students are encouraged to read 15-30 minutes/day in addition to the activities outlined below.
Monday ZOOM @ 11:00

Write 3 notes or message of kindness/appreciation to your family member(s). Hide them or leave them for your loved ones to find in an unexpected place. Example: with their toothbrush, in their shoe, under their pillow.
Numeracy
Be an inventor! With items found around your home, can you construct a tool that can measure 30 seconds of time? Example – dripping water or pouring sand from one bottle to another. OR – Find a song that takes you exactly 30 seconds to sing. How can your song help you measure time (example – washing hands)?

Numeracy
Subtract from 20. Estimate how many rolls it will take you to get to zero subtracting the number you roll with one dice. Example: 20-3=17, 17-4=13 How many rolls did it actually take? You need to roll the exact number to finish the round. Need a challenge? Start at 50 or 100! (There is a 100 chart in your planner you could use to help you with this)
Other Learning Opportunities
Search and Find – Head outside… Find, draw and describe the following:
2 structures that are man-made, 2 structures that are found in nature. What types of loads (i.e. a solid or liquid that has weight) do these structures carry or hold. Compare and contrast how these items are similar and different.
Wednesday - ZOOM CANCELLED ***WE HAVE SCHOOL MEETINGS
Literacy
Have a conversation about a topic of your child’s choice (or you could discuss racism/inclusion/dreams for the world as we have been discussing these topics) and aim for five back and forth exchanges. Try to avoid yes/no questions. Try instead “Tell me more about…”, “I wonder why…?, Why do you think/feel that way?”
Numeracy
The Amazing Splitting Plant! The splitting plant grows in a special way. In the first week, it splits into two branches. In the second week, each of these two branches split into another two branches – making four branches altogether. This keeps happening every week, until at the end of the sixth week each branch grows a flower. How many flowers will the plant have? How will you keep track of the number of branches? Will a drawing or a chart help you?
Other Learning Opportunities

Call or Zoom with your friends and record his/her answers. Once you have said goodbye, compare your answers to your friends using the Venn diagram in Week 10 Printables.

Answers that differ go under the name of the person who gave them. Do you and your friend have everything in common? Is it okay if your friend has different interests than you? What is really important to you in a friend? What can you do to be an even better friend?
