Morning Message-June 12th!

Happy Friday Grade One!

The date is June 12th, 2020.

Today is your last day of Home Learning. 

You can officially begin Summer vacation after you complete your activities today.

There is 1 thing that you should keep doing over summer though.

Can you guess? I’ll give you some clues.

It has 4 letters. It begins with the letter “r”, ends with the letter “d” and has two vowels sandwiched in the middle. (The answer is  posted in a document found below!)

Keeping up with _____-ing will be helpful for when we head back into learning after Summer Break!

I hope I get to see you all on Report Card pick-up day next Friday.

Happy Summer Vacation!

Love, Mrs. Sobey

Morning Message-June 9th!

Dear Grade 1 Kiddos,

Today is “trying” Tuesday. The date is June 9th, 2020.

I am going to try and stay warm at the school today. It has been sooo cold in our classroom.

Do you know what else? It has also very quiet and lonely without you.

What are you going to "try" to do today?

I ended up getting wet last on my walk last night. But, after the rain had stopped I spied a double rainbow.

Did you see it? It was beautiful sight.

I hope you all have a terrific day!

Love, Mrs. Sobey

I hope you all had a great weekend. We are beginning to wind down in terms of Home Learning. This week will follow the same format that it has been since we’ve begun. Next week will look a little different. I want to remind you all once again to “Do what you can, When you can!” Thank you so much for all you’ve been doing during this season of Home Learning. Please reach out if there is anything I can do to help in any way. My email address is jodi.sobey@nbed.nb.ca.

 

Dear Grade One,

Today is the beginning of a new week and also a new month. It is the very first day of June.

I hope you all had a super fun weekend with your families.

Oh how I wish I was able to hear all about it this morning during sharing time. 

I am headed back to school today to wrap things up and to work on getting ready for September.

It is going to be lonely without all of you and your friends.

I am missing you all so, so much. I can hardly wait until you can come back to school with me.

Have a great day everyone!

Love, Mrs. Sobey

Happy Friday!

The date is May 29, 2020.

It is our last school day for the month of May. Monday will be the first day of June.

I think it is going to be another hot, sticky day.

The worst thing in the world happened last night.

I went outside after dark and couldn’t back in the house without being attacked by June bugs. Yuck!

I had to run to the other door and ring the door bell for someone to come and rescue me.

I really, really don’t like those bugs! Do you?

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay safe and stay cool!

Math Activities 

Warm Up

Partners For 10 Go Fish

  1. Remove face cards from a deck of playing cards (or SkipBo, Uno, any set of cards that has multiple cards with numbers 1-9)
  2. Deal 5 cards to each player.
  3. Look for any tens you can make. If you have two numbers that add to ten, you can make a match.
  4. If you don’t have two numbers that make a ten, players take turns asking for the number they need.
  • For example, if you have an 8, you would need a 2 to make ten, so you would ask your partner if they had a “2”.
  • If your partner does not have a 2, then they would say, “Go Fish,” and you would draw a card from the deck.

    5.Play continues until one player has made a 10 from all of their cards or until a certain number of matches is made.(ex. 5 matches)

Hello Boys and Girls!

Today is thoughtful Thursday. The date is May 27th, 2020.

Look for ways to be thoughtful and caring at home today.

It is going to be a super hot day. I think I will hibernate in my house for the day. How about you?

Yesterday I looked at the clouds too and used my imagination to spy something.

The first thing I spied was a great big heart.

It made me think about all of you. You are all so very special and I am missing so, so much!

I am going to be calling you today. I will try to reach you this morning before you head out on your adventures to get cooled off.

1)Estimate the length of your driveway or yard (using your own feet).  Remember, estimation means making a thoughtful guess about how many there is of something, the answer is NOT exact. When estimating we use the words “about, close to, and almost.”

2) Once you’ve written down your “estimate” go out and figure out exactly how many of your own feet it is. You will walk just like if you were walking on a tightrope. Record on your paper how many of your feet it actually took? Was your estimate close?

3) If your parent or guardian did the same thing would it take more or less feet? Explain your reasoning. 

*Students will need a toilet paper or paper towel tube and a piece cereal box cardboard for an art activity that they are going to complete on Friday!

Writing (You may have to wait to complete this activity after lunch!)

Head outside and look up at the clouds. I want you to use your imagination, what do see in the cloud shapes. Here is your writing prompt:  “When I look up at the clouds I see...” Please use some describing words. 

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.
