Dear Children,

Today is "thankful" Thursday. The date is May 7, 2020.

I am thankful for all of you and all your smiles. Who are you thankful for today?

Did you get to see the "Snowbirds" yesterday? It was pretty cool!

The craziest thing happened at my house in the night. Chase, Autumn and I woke to a loud noise. 

There were 2 porcupines fighting under our trampoline.

Chase came to the rescue and scared them off so we could all get back to sleep.

Have a terrific day! Love, Mrs. Sobey

Math

Warm Up

Practice counting by 5’s to 100 with Grandma and Grandpa at the Beach

Then “count around the circle” by 5’s, try to get to 100. If that is too tricky you could continue to work on counting by 5’s to 50. (The expectation for the End of Grade 1 is that students would be able to skip count by 5’s to 100, starting at 0.)
