Dear Boys and Girls,

Today is “trying” Tuesday. The date is June 2^nd, 2020.

I am going to try to get our classroom cleaned up some more.

It’s a little messy. We all left quickly, didn’t we?

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

It looks like it going to be another sunny day.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Love, Mrs. Sobey

Your goal is to complete at least 5 lessons this week. Aim to complete 1 each day and by Friday you will have completed all your lessons. Remember if you begin a game, please finish it.    

Problem of the Week

  There were 11 ladybugs in the garden. Then 4 of them fly away. How many ladybugs are left? Do you add or subtract to find the answer? Include the number sentence along with your picture. (ex. 15-5=10)

I would encourage students to draw a picture to help them solve. I will post my work showing the solution next Monday morning. I would love to see the student’s work as well. That can be emailed to me at jodi.sobey@nbed.nb.ca. 

*For Art on Friday, students will need 1or 2 paper plates and other items such as tissue paper, markers, crayons, yarn, bells, googly eyes, pompoms, and any other decorative craft items they can gather up. 

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.  

Happy Monday!

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

Hello Boys and Girls!

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

Talk to you soon! Love, Mrs. Sobey

Your goal for the week is to complete at least 5 lessons. How are you doing? 

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.
