Let curiosity take the lead

Home-learning Nov 4 (Thursday)

I feel like a record - do kids know what that is? So, let's point form it!

  • Bring back paper copies.
  • Priority activities are 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.

RE: Je lis, je lis website. Once student record themselves reading, I listen to it and always send a voice note back. To access it, click "my recordings". The green play button allows them to hear themselves read. The blue double dialogue speech bubbles will hear what I have to say. Click that, a screen will pop up and press play to hear my lovely voice! haha.

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.

Home-learning Nov 2 (Tuesday)

Here we go with day 2!

I am certain some of you are feeling overwhelmed by this whole situation. Be rest assured that we can only do what we can do. As you'll see, most activities will remain similar from one day to the next including the priority activities. One exploratory activity will change daily. I appreciate all the work each of you are doing inside and outside of your home. Please let me know if your child is unable to complete home learning - either by choice or by circumstance (if you haven't already). Thank you!

Again, 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. I ask that any home-learning that is done during this time be sent back to school upon our return. Please snap some pictures of their favourite activities and send them to me!

*BANNOCK BAKER* - Bannock is a delicious bread that has been made for a long time in Canada. It is known as Iuskinikn in Mi'kmaq. I LOVED making this with my cousins from Manitoba every summer! We used to cook it over a campfire on a stick, but the stove works just as well! Here is the basic recipe. You can fancy it up by making into a pizza, adding raisins/chocolate chips, or topping it with Nutella or a piece of cheese!

 

  • In a large ziplock or a bowl, place 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 TBSP of baking powder, 1/2 TBSP sugar & 1/4 tsp of salt.
  • Add 1/4 cup of margarine or butter and smoosh until it's crumbly.
  • Mix in a little less than 1/2 cup milk and mix. Make the dough soft but not too sticky.
  • Shape into balls and flatten to 1" thick. Place on a greased (or parchment paper lined) baking sheet.
  • Bake at 425'F for approximately 25 minutes or until lightly browned.

*OUTSIDE EXPLORATORY* - Walk around your house/neighbourhood chanting "25, 50, 75, 0".

A French reading website we use in class with our literacy centers. Great if we ever (hopefully not) have to switch to home learning again. Students can record themselves reading for me to hear! As always, their login information is glued to the back page of their agenda.
