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!

Love, Mrs. Sobey

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)

Dear Children,

I loved all the sunshine and warm weather yesterday. Did you?

Today I am going to clean my house and then I have a meeting. What will you do?

Have a fun day everyone!

You will watch a read aloud of “Picture The Sky” by Barbara Reid. 

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.

Work to complete 1 more lessons today boys and girls. 

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 Grade One,

Today is Tuesday, May 26^th, 2020.

It looks a little cloudy this morning. 

But, I think it is going to be sunny and get super warm later.

What do you do to get cooled off when you are hot?

I like to go to the beach with my friends.

I’m not going today though. I am going to stay close to home and do some work.

Have a terrific day, stay cool!

Love, Mrs. Sobey
