Good Morning Division 1!

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

Today is a pick-up day for Library books from the Cedar Grove Library.  If you have not placed an order, don’t fret!  Place an order today and you can possibly pick up your books on Tuesday.  Don’t forget to check out the library page if you are not sure how to place your order. 

Monday is a Pro-D Day!  Get outside and enjoy the weather!

Most importantly, Sunday is Mother’s Day.  That woman has sacrificed the world for you, so you’d better figure out a way to honour her.  Do it!

8:30 - 8:50am – Record your sleep patterns.

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!  Figure out how many square meters are in your yard.  Send me an email if you figured out what the giraffe face equaled from yesterday.

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

11:15 – 12:00 – Science or Socials… invent a game that can be played outside.

12:00 – 1:00 – Lunch Break

1:00 – 2:00 – Language Arts.  Remember to check the Language Arts Page.  The theme this week for Creative Writing is NATURE. 

2:00 – 2:30 – Choice Activity – Make your mom a stellar Mother’s Day card.  Remind her that she is the BEST!!  Figure out how you are going to honour her on Sunday!  Acts of service are ideal in this setting.

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!
