A little note Monday Oct 18th

Hi folks!
We are back in the swing of things. I'll be sending home some new photocopies to replenish the covid packs. Better to have more than less! Please keep an eye. If there are any sheets completed during the home-learning days, please send them in.
 
Tomorrow, Tuesday Oct 19th, we are planning to do a few activities outside. Please have your child wear RUBBER BOOTS as we will be walking around through the woods etc. An extra pair of clothes or splashpants may be an idea too (especially socks). Feel free to pack their sneakers for outside recess.
 
As always, if you have any questions or concerns - please let me know!

Home-learning Oct 15 2021

Hope you're doing well and able to pick away a bit (or a lot) on the home-learning front. As always, do what you can. I feel like there was lots to work with over the past few days. Here is what I'd like students to focus on today....
  • MATH
  • FRENCH LITERACY
  • SCIENCE
    • Place 1 cup of milk in a sandwich baggie with 1/4 cup of sugar and a splash of vanilla (or a squirt of chocolate syrup). Seal the baggie. Place the baggie inside a large freezer baggie. Cover the bag with ice cubes and sprinkle the ice-cubes with salt. Put a pair of mitts on and shake the bag for a good 10 minutes. The sugar and milk will turn into ice-cream. Next, send me a picture of you eating your delicious icecream! Enjoy!
  • ENGLISH LITERACY
    • Complete the "spelling" pages in the covid pack. Bring back to school (finished or unfinished) as we will be going over this in class.
  • OUTDOOR PLAY
    • Find a bug and sketch it in your agenda on today's date.

Hoping to see everyone in class really soon!

Homework - Teusday, Wednesday Thursday

Here is the work students are to complete over the next THREE days:
  • MATH
  • FRENCH LITERACY
  • SCIENCE
    • Place three ice cubes on a plate. One ice cube will remain plain, sprinkle salt on the second ice cube and sprinkle sugar on the third. Predict which ice cube will melt first. Why do you think this? Observe the ice cubes as they melt. Which melted first? Last?
  • ENGLISH LITERACY
    • Call someone over the age of 60 (they love to hear from people they love). Tell them a description of one person that sat at the dinner table with you on the weekend.
      • Grade 3's are to concentrate on the physical traits of the person.
      • Grade 4’s are to concentrate on personality traits and how the person was feeling. If you do a great job with your description, they should be able to guess who you are describing!
    • Go to Storyline Online - Home and choose a story to listen to or read for 15 minutes yourself.
  • OUTDOOR PLAY
    • "Create" the following numbers like in the example given (see attachment examples). Make your own code if necessary.
      • Grade 3 numbers: 784, 263, and number 400 two different ways (use lots of 10 of 10's to create 100 or 10 of 1's to create 10 etc).
      • Grade 4 numbers: 3567, 2941 and number 5000 two different ways (use lots of 10's to create 100's etc).
    • Write your reading level words for 15 minutes (see attachment) using items from outside. If you're reading at level H+, use level H. Example of what to use: side walk chalk, stick, write in sand, use pebbles or mud. Nature is endless. Please no vandalism or killing nature!
For those who have already been self-isolating, please hold on to your customized packages and bring them back to school when we return.
 
Feel free to reach out should you require any help. Can't wait to see everyone soon! Stay healthy and strong.​ This was also emailed to our class email group. If you did not receive it, please let me know (maggie.robichaud@nbed.nb.ca)
 

AND a belated BONNE FETE to Leah last week and an upcoming BONNE FETE to Caitlin!

Homework Reminder

Homework Expectations

  • Read ALOUD French Guided Reading book 2x/week (10-15 minutes each session)
  • Read ALOUD English Guided Reading book or another book 2x/week (10-15 minutes each session)

Optional:

  • Read aloud more often than asked
  • Splashlearn Math site (I can see what they do, we use it in class as a station)
  • Zorbit Math/Mathstoria (still setting this up, but similar idea to splashlearn)
  • Card games - we have a number we use in class

Overall, homework shouldn't be a chore but an opportunity for students to share what we are practicing and learning in class. Playing boardgames and spending time as a family is just as important. Have fun with the homework!
