Good Morning Division 1!

Library Day – Go to the Library Page for more information.  

Try to win your hat at Book Bingo!

Don’t forget that Monday is Victoria Day.  Long Weekend!!

Shape of the Day – Thank Goodness It’s Friday!

Let me know if you are interested in a walk on this coming Wednesday.  

You need your parents’ permission and then email me the following information by Tuesday morning at 11:00am:

1)    morning or afternoon

2)    Friend grouping preference (if any)

3)    The phone # of the parent I can speak with ahead of time to answer the required questions (if your parent is dropping you off, they can answer them for me then – please indicate if this is your plan)

I will then put groups together (I can only have groups up to 6 students, so first come, first serve) and have the information out to you Tuesday evening.  If the demand is high, I will look at adding additional time slots on another day.

Grade 7s, check out the video link below to help inform you on taking band next year:

9:00 – 10:15am – Math – Play crib, chess, or any other game!  Try playing solitaire with a deck of cards… or go out and find numbers in nature!  Try mowing the lawn (if you’re allowed) or weeding an area.  Try to measure the area (Length x Width) and then discover how many weeds were in that one area.  Email me your findings.

10:15 – 11:15 – Go Outside.  Be active.  Be mindful. 

11:15 – 12:00 – Science or Socials… invent or improve upon a game that can be played outside.  How do games/sports build Community?

Don’t forget to email me!  Here are the prompts:

Tell me about something new you have learned.

Show me a math question you figured out.

Tell me about a walk you went on.

Tell me about a book you are reading. Who are the characters?  What’s the plot?

What is your science fair question?

What sports are you keeping up with?

What do you like about our “new normal”?

What would motivate you more?   What motivates you to get up in the morning?

Remember to breathe for three minutes.  Focus only on your breathing.  If a thought comes into your head, let it be with no judgment, and then go back to your breathing.  With each breath in and out, remind yourself that it is good to breathe.  When your three minutes are up, enjoy the space you created in your mind.  

You got this!
