Good Morning Division 1!

If you are coming to school this next week, please make sure you have pre-arranged your attendance with the office.  Remember to dress for the weather.  We will be spending as much time outside as possible.  Bring snacks and a lunch that is "picnic style".  You will pack out what you pack in.  In other words, you will take your garbage/recycling home with you and will need your own utensils if necessary.  Bring a water bottle, full.   Please make sure you also bring your school supplies back with you.  We will also be doing some writing, math, and crafts.  I look forward to seeing your faces in person!

8:50 – 9:00am – Stretch break.  Listen to one or two of your favourite songs and move around.

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!  Find a four-leaf clover.  Find a leaf or flower and inspect its symmetry.  Try folding a leaf in half and then draw the other side without looking at that side or tracing.  Then inspect your leaf.  How close were you? Email me your findings.

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

11:15 – 12:00 – Science or Social Studies.  See if you can invent an activity that releases any anxious feelings.

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!
