Good Morning Division 1!

Shape of the Day – Thursday (Friday Eve) – Extra Walk Day for those who have pre-arranged it with me.

Thanks to those of you who came out for a walk yesterday!

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 – Check the Math Page or see the riddle below:

A farmer is trying to cross a river. He is taking with him a rabbit, carrots and a fox, and he has a small raft. He can only bring 1 item a time across the river because his raft can only fit either the rabbit, the carrots or the fox. He knows, if left alone, the rabbit will eat the carrots and the fox will eat the rabbit.  How does he cross the river? (You can assume that the fox does not eat the rabbit if the man is present, nor would the rabbit eat the carrots, you can also assume that the fox and the rabbit are not trying to escape and run away).

2:00 – 2:30 – Choice Activity – Remember grade 7s to send me your questions about next year.  We need the questions ahead of time so our grade 8s can have some time to consider their answers.

Come up with a planner cover! 

Or, head to the Choice Activity page and go for it!  

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!
