Today is Wednesday, May 13^th.

It is a ____________ morning. (What word would you use to describe what it is like outside?)

Mrs. Carroll has been working on getting our Yearbook finished.

She is looking for students to create possible covers for it.

Maybe that is something you could work on sometime over the next few days.

She will be at school on Friday to pick them up.

Have a great day everyone! Love, Mrs. Sobey 

(I posted all the information needed for Yearbook Cover entries yesterday families. Just scroll down this page a little further and you will locate it. Happy Drawing!)

Writing

Today your writing activity is to answer a “what would you rather” question.

Would you rather dig in the garden for worms or search a pond for tadpoles?

Students should begin by telling which activity they would rather do and then include at least 2 reasons why they would prefer that activity.

Here is my writing piece: 

I would much rather go search for tadpoles in a pond then dig for worms in the garden. I think that worms are slimy and gross so I would not want to have to pick them up. Also, I don’t like to go fishing so what would I do with the worms? If I had tadpoles I could take care of them and maybe have a pet frog some day. 

 *I’ve attached a Writer’s Checklist under the ”Documents” tab for you and your child to refer to, to help you evaluate what they are doing well and what needs to be worked on next. Each of these writing skills have been taught during Writer’s Workshop time. Pick 1 area that your child could work on and work together to fix that up. Once they’ve shown improvements in that area, set a new goal together.   

Parents: I’d love to see your child’s writing pieces when they are done. That way I can also give some feedback as to what could be worked on next so that their writing will continue to develop. Writing pieces can be emailed to me at jodi.sobey@nbed.nb.ca.

Problem of The Week

       In the pond I spy 5 big frogs and 4 baby frogs. How many frogs all together do I spy in the pond? Do you add or subtract to find the answer? 

I would encourage them to draw a picture to help them solve and also include the number sentence. (Example of a number sentence… 10-3=7) 

In addition to the activities suggested above students are encourage to read independently, participate in some physical activity and complete the task from the “Social-Emotional Learning” calendar.
