Good Morning Division 1!
Shape of the Day
8:30 - 8:50am – Check in with yourself. Ask yourself what number you are? Consider why? Create a sleep record that you will fill in Monday to Friday until we are out of this “new normal”. Record what time you went to bed last night (actually fell asleep) and the quality of your sleep (sound/woke up once or twice/tossed and turned) and what time you woke up this morning. Record any dreams you recall. Consider if they have any significance to you.
8:50 – 9:00am – Stretch break. Listen to one or two of your favourite songs and move around.
9:00 – 10:15am – Sign up for Khan Academy. Then, explore what it has to offer. It might be a little frustrating to sign up and try to figure how to navigate this website.
Try some things that you are comfortable with first, (like grade 3 multiplication) just to get used to how the website works.
10:15 – 11:15 – Go Outside. Either find something active to do (like a sport, trampoline, garden) or do something creative (like sketch something you see in nature, create a work of nature art, or make a good old-fashioned mud pie).
11:15 – 12:00 – Read a book.
12:00 – 1:00 – Lunch Break
1:00 – 2:00 – Creative writing. The theme this week is HOPE. You will take this time to create a piece of writing that reflects the theme. You can write some poetry (remember the forms of poetry we were using before the break: haiku, limerick, acrostic, ballad, ode) using poetic devices (metaphor, simile, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, euphemism, rhyme scheme, oxymoron). If poetry isn’t your jam, you can start a short story. Or, if you’d prefer to keep a journal that records your thoughts during this strange time, feel free to do that. Remember though, you MUST make sure that your writing has the clear theme of HOPE.
2:00 – 2:30 – Duo Lingo. Start a duo lingo account if you haven’t done so already. Then, pick which language you want to focus on and go for it!
