Happy Monday Families!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We are now entering Week 8 of Home Learning.  My message to you all along has been “Do What You Can, When You Can” and I sincerely mean that. It has been a trying time for all of us and it is important to look after our social and emotional well being first and foremost. So, please continue to work away at the activities the best you can! If you’d like to reach me, my email address is jodi.sobey@nbed.nb.ca send me an email and I will be in touch. Have a great week!   

Good Morning Boys and Girls!

Today is the last Monday in the month of May.

Next week we will begin the month of __________. (Sing your months of the year song!)

The date is May 25, 2020.

I hope you all had a fun weekend and got outside to enjoy the sunshine.

I think Summer weather is here. Hip, Hip, Hooray!

I love Summer days! How about you?

Have a marvelous day darlings!

I miss you! Love, Mrs. Sobey

*Your goal for this week is to complete 5 lessons. If you complete at least 1each day and you will reach the goal at the end of the week. Remember if you begin a game, please finish it.     

Problem of the Week:

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! 

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.  

Dear Children,

Today is thoughtful Thursday!

What will you do today to show kindness to others?

The date is May 21st, 2020.

It is going to be another beautiful day, sunny and warm. It will feel like summer!

I had to dig out some of my summer clothes. Did you?

Have a terrific day boys and girls. Be sure and get outside to enjoy the sunshine! 

Love, Mrs. Sobey

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.
