Good Morning Division 1!

Remember that tomorrow (Wednesday) we will have a Zoom call.  This call will be in small groups.  Please see your email for the link to the call and for the people in your group.  Please note that this is optional and is a just for checking in.  If you are going to attend, please make sure you have a pen/pencil and some paper with you.

Please check your inbox for the invitation.  If you have your own email account, I will send it to you directly.  

If you created your own day plan, great!  If not, please feel free to use the one below.

Don’t forget, you are responsible for emailing me something about your learning each week.  You can send me a piece of writing, a math question that you solved (and show me how you solved it), something about your science fair inquiry, something that you’ve discovered in social studies, a piece of artwork, a song, a “how-to” description of a chore you’ve perfected, etc….  Really, I’m just interested in how your brain is being activated using creative or critical thinking and how you communicate this to me.

Shape of the Day – Tuesday 

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.

10:15 – 11:15 – Go Outside.  Be active.  Be mindful.  Figure out this riddle:

If you have me, you want to share me.  If you share me, you haven’t got me.  
What am I?

11:15 – 12:00 – Science  or  Social Studies 

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 – 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!

 Please remember to bring in your reading logs this week!  New ones were handed out today.  Just a reminder that students are expected to read 30 minutes each night in improve their fluency in both reading and writing.  Plus, it is just a good workout for the mind. Please remember that your Ancient Civilization projects are due this Wednesday.  You will have time on Wednesday for finishing touches, but the bulk needs to be complete before Wednesday so you are not left flustered! Jessie Wollen was with us for her last visit.  If you are interested in learning more please visit the following: https://amaze.org @shifteducation If your parents have not done so already, encourage them to make an interview time with you and myself. Just a reminder, you are starting to own your own learning, so it is important to be apart of it!  Your parents can just email me and we can set up a time. Remember: For news of the heart, ask the face! (West African Saying)

Good Morning Division 1! Today I will be unavailable to connect with you.  Sadly, I am attending my grandfather’s funeral, who passed away in April.  We had to wait until now to have a small family gathering.  We are relieved to be able to celebrate his life, together in person, even if still physically distanced.  This pandemic has impacted us all, good, bad, and sad.  And, I have a great deal of hope for our future and know that this will pass.  Chin up!  Have a fabulous weekend.

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!
