Hello Boys and Girls,

Monday, April 20th

Good Morning Parents,

Hope everyone enjoyed our sunny weekend. Once again, the tasks that I am providing for your children are not intended to create additional stress in an already stressful time. They are suggestions so that students can continue to have some practice in the areas of reading, writing and math. Do what you can, when you can! My email address again is jodi.sobey@nbed.nb.ca. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns!

Happy Monday Grade One Children!

I hope you all had a fun weekend.

It looks like it is going to be another sunny day.

Will you go out to play? I will go for a walk.

Have a great day with your families!

Love, Mrs. Sobey

Scroll Down the page to “Day 3” and Click on “Take Me There”.

Watch “Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin!” story.  Then, click on “Explore the Web” on the left hand side of the page.  Choose “LearnEnglish Kids/Topics: Music”. Play “Musical Instruments 1.” Then share with someone what your favourite musical instrument is. (I bought some new instruments for us to enjoy during Music class yesterday!)

Writing

Scroll Down the page to “Day 3” and choose “Draw and Write Activity: Listening Ears.”  Close your eyes and just listen for a few seconds. Then draw a picture and write about 4 different sounds you hear.

What does Mrs. Sobey hear? Right now, I can hear the fan going in the bathroom, the the washer machine spinning, Chase calling out to his sister and a creak in the ceiling.

* Remember we need to use capital letters only at the beginning of our sentences, for the word "I" and for names of people and places. As well,  we need to put in some stop marks to show where our sentences end. I’d loved to hear about the sounds you hear at our house. How about you send me a picture of your writing?

Happy Friday Boys and Girls,

The date today is April 17, 2020.

Have a nice weekend! Love, Mrs. Sobey

Continue to work on your “Raining Bats and Frogs Activity” that you began on Tuesday. If you did not complete on Tuesday, take today to finish the story and picture.  If you have finished, add another detail telling “why” for each thing you choose. Then go back and be the “CAPS” detective and see if any capital letters have popped up in the middle of your sentences. * Remember capital letters are used to begin sentences, for the work “I” and for the names of places and people. I would love to see your stories boys and girls. How about you email me a picture of it!
