Je lis recordings....

109 recordings reviewed! My eyes are crossed! Please let students know to hear my comments on Je lis the next time they login. How? Go to "my recordings". The green triangle is to hear themselves and what they recorded. The double blue speech bubbles is my comment back to them. Unfortunately there is no way for them to respond again, but they can go back to their recording to hear/see what I'm talking about.

3/4 Robichaud Home-learning planning survey

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M778DZW

Hi Everyone!

I made a survey for you all to fill out regarding our class's home-learning. This is to help me in planning future home-learning days. The results will only be seen by me for planning purposes. This is only for 3/4 Robichaud since that is my one and only class.

Thank you!!

Home-learning Nov 5 (Friday)

Is anyone else drained? If adults are feeling it, then surely the students are too. Today I'm trying to keep students away from the screens as much as possible. But, screens may be more helpful to some homes too. Your pick!

To note: I attached the wrong file to yesterday's email. Therefore, I've included the proper file for yesterday's and then Friday's attachment too. Sorry about that!

Repeat "playlist":

Bring back all paper copies when the time comes.
Priority activities are the most important, followed by the daily exploratory activity, then the "other" awesome activities.
Time is precious. Kids are kids. Do what you can with what you have.
Links are on our class website. Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca) and login information is in the back of their agenda.

Here's day 5 (Friday)

*ROCK & ROLL MATH (Friday's activity)* - See pdf. Go outside and gather a BIG pile of rocks. Rocks not popular around your home? Use small sticks/branches instead.

Count your rocks.
Then skip count! Grade 3: count by 3's and 5's. Grade 4's: count by 3's and 4's.
Place your rocks in order from largest/longest to smallest.
Place them end to end. Find an object that's approximately the same length.
Divide your rocks in two piles (half). Then divide then into four equal piles (fourths).
Create a pattern with your rocks.
Make a creative design using only your rocks. A picture? A mandala? Your pick! Take a picture to share your design with me.
If each rock was worth 10 dollars, how much are your rocks worth? What about 10 cents?

*NINJA MATH (Thursday's activity)* - Please see the attached PDF for some fun Math problems. Don't forget the link at the bottom. Number Ninja - Multiples • ABCya! Grade 3's please concentrate on multiples of 2, 5 & 10. Grade 4: please concentrate on all except 12.

*FRENCH READING* - Reading comprehension to bring back to school. There are four ladies standing. They read the description and figure out which one is which.

*Pepper magic* - Take a pie plate and fill the bottom with water. Shake some pepper on top of the water. It will float. Place a drop of dish detergent on the tip of a Q-tip and lightly touch the Q-tip/soap in the middle of the pie plate. What happens? Can you make the pepper run away?

Hackmatack for 3/4 Robichaud

Posted: November 2, 2021

Me again!

The NB Public Libraries run a program called Hackmatack with interested students. It's completely optional. I know I have lots of students that LOVE to read that may be interested.

What is Hackmatack?

Technically it's a tree, also known as a tamarack or larch. For this, it's a group of students from Atlantic Canada that read books and vote. Their votes determine the Hackmatack Children's Choice Award for Atlantic Canada.

What do I do?

There are 10 fiction and 10 non-fiction books written by Canadians that have been nominated. Students read a minimum of 5 books in a catagory then vote for their favourite. Voting takes place in the Spring.

Who can join?

For right now, it's only for our homeroom. It may open up to the entire school as the weeks roll along. It's intended for grade 4-6 because of the reading level of the books and the content. But, some grade 3 students may be interested too.

How do I join?

The first step is to let me know if you're interested. Then, I'll get a book to you to start reading. This program runs until Spring. I've attached a log book for you to print (or I can print it for you upon our return to school). Typically we have a lunch book club once a month where we chat about the books, eat and have fun.

Let me know if you're interested!

Home-learning visual Nov 3 (Wednesday)

Posted: November 2, 2021

This is to go with today's (Nov 3, Wednesday) Exploratory activity for those that may not have a Piggy Bank at home.... or for those that have one that's not worth counting. haha.

Posted: November 2, 2021

Home-learning Nov 3 (Wednesday)

Thank you to those who reached out over the past few days. Every family circumstance is different and I appreciate all of you making the best decisions for your family and being honest with me in what the decision & struggles have been.

On with day 3 (Wednesday)!

As usual, most activities will remain similar from one day to the next including the priority activities and one exploratory activity which changes daily. All links are found on our class website. Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca) and login information is in the back of their agenda.

Please be reminded that any "paper" home learning is asked to be returned to me either via email (pictures/scans) or the hardcopy when we get back to school. Thank you! With the online websites, I already have access to their progress.

WORD WORK – “Le mot du jour" in Covid Pack. Complete nager, plage and sable.

*FRENCH READING* – Website “Je lis, je lis”. Listen to a book, practice reading aloud and record the book. I can listen and send a voice note back on what to work on etc. Je lis, je lis, littératie ! ONLINE (rkpublishing.com) Click on the blue double speech bubble to hear my comments.

*MONEY MAKER* - Cash or debit? Counting money is a life skill that we sometimes take for granted in this debit/credit world. Students are no longer as money savvy as "when we were young". Let's change that!

Count out the money in your Piggy Bank. Remember to group coins in piles of $1 to help you count out your money. Skip count the remainder when even dollars can't be formed. If you don't have a piggy bank, check out the picture attached and count one of my daughter's Piggy Bank. Ssshhhh!
Make the following amounts using real money or drawing it out on paper. To note: in French the $ sign goes at the end of the amount and in English it goes at the beginning. Amounts to make: 75 cents, 95 cents, 1,40$ and 3,80$. Choose one amount and make it two different ways (ex. 25 cents could be one quarter, 5 nickels, or two dimes and a nickel - three different ways!).
Challenge questions:

If a cookie costs 75 cents and I have 4,00$. How many cookies can I buy? How much money would I have left?
I have 6,00$ and bought the main meal (5,50$). Colleen gave me 5 coins. Which coins did she give me as change?
I have 5,00$ and bought a treat (1,00$). Colleen gave me over 10 coins back. Which coins did she give me as change?

*OUTSIDE EXPLORATORY* - Make a balance obstacle course that's longer than two car lengths. Challenge a family member or neighbour (young or old) to complete it with you.
