We had a dedicated group of children who organized the decorating of our door. The door became an ice palace complete with bonhomme. We also used some of the borax crystals as icicles. There was a second group who created a castle decorated with snowflakes and cotton balls as snow.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjCOcn3mY7MLVgwgy31jAOrPsHLVjujpU7DZHD7ZwdCyyADzIn1ufvjviul3UIIW2d2L1lnkCE9FyWACxm4VW1rFLCwrVzE4T868DdN8Lpmydt6Gvb-UmdWVYpcvXhU-jZjw8Xq7EeNxVDmkcsGKjfCGoM6yX02GQmqKj2tmfEE5xmPsflC4U0XXa/s4032/IMG_6481.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGjCOcn3mY7MLVgwgy31jAOrPsHLVjujpU7DZHD7ZwdCyyADzIn1ufvjviul3UIIW2d2L1lnkCE9FyWACxm4VW1rFLCwrVzE4T868DdN8Lpmydt6Gvb-UmdWVYpcvXhU-jZjw8Xq7EeNxVDmkcsGKjfCGoM6yX02GQmqKj2tmfEE5xmPsflC4U0XXa/w150-h200/IMG_6481.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Borax Crystals</h3><div>As part of our Carnaval celebration and winter explorations, we made crystals with borax. It is part of our science learning as we learn about matter. The children each had a chance to add the borax powder to the water with their pipe cleaner. We talked about how the powder when mixed with hot water, dissolved. We observed that as the water cooled, it became cloudy and we started to see crystals. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8w0btYHmW80jE1vYrgW8EDK4rvHIuGZ8uwgTxWGMS3xnivHya_boxtow-oMJvUOskLbDd27miDKx8NeMpkzcmscEjRySvmbEG-VOJsHgJnNFLS_2W9XEWL7cvY-VlNeCbW94Qdkx9LRg5kuBhMgfOz87Bf4qTD7nSg7jkpo9RYRsGNDGbMv9VVTIT/s1262/IMG_5067.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1130" data-original-width="1262" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8w0btYHmW80jE1vYrgW8EDK4rvHIuGZ8uwgTxWGMS3xnivHya_boxtow-oMJvUOskLbDd27miDKx8NeMpkzcmscEjRySvmbEG-VOJsHgJnNFLS_2W9XEWL7cvY-VlNeCbW94Qdkx9LRg5kuBhMgfOz87Bf4qTD7nSg7jkpo9RYRsGNDGbMv9VVTIT/w200-h179/IMG_5067.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYk5OMhHhWhHtLzQLAVA0YOp8vm6CDKNSLrHXxSvssWYrgnm09xRl8s8JBFmUfz46et4D3yIzE6oc735JdMLo4foD3QpBgVGrxhb4LK32h-1RfylRPMTL5WGpXcJ5SDZnvf66Wa-0_4OwnDu9KcqdETD0L_oTfxr9ZpSZywKTtDHkO3czcuywobojo/s4032/IMG_6478.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYk5OMhHhWhHtLzQLAVA0YOp8vm6CDKNSLrHXxSvssWYrgnm09xRl8s8JBFmUfz46et4D3yIzE6oc735JdMLo4foD3QpBgVGrxhb4LK32h-1RfylRPMTL5WGpXcJ5SDZnvf66Wa-0_4OwnDu9KcqdETD0L_oTfxr9ZpSZywKTtDHkO3czcuywobojo/w150-h200/IMG_6478.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7-N-gFppBN3Uy4-zL24MPv1OlG4akXA4fjh-fvY1n6GlqD5BledJMRu0nq6YAacDSdtxw47OenHzrXCEOC-d-GeBJusLIL7i10NCRk7Mv4qXW6oGxXrXfJ6tj65ZvjX9x3prxDxkNY1eME4jUlUw0X2pkU0jsTs6ZZaEY1bQSJxVQPBLbQTBMD2j/s4032/IMG_6479.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW7-N-gFppBN3Uy4-zL24MPv1OlG4akXA4fjh-fvY1n6GlqD5BledJMRu0nq6YAacDSdtxw47OenHzrXCEOC-d-GeBJusLIL7i10NCRk7Mv4qXW6oGxXrXfJ6tj65ZvjX9x3prxDxkNY1eME4jUlUw0X2pkU0jsTs6ZZaEY1bQSJxVQPBLbQTBMD2j/w150-h200/IMG_6479.JPG" width="150" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Friendship and Growth Mindset</h3><div>We had a wonderful Celebration of Friendship.

When the kids are overheard speaking French to a classmate, they get a ticket to put in our basket for a draw. Every few days I draw names and the children can use their tickets to "skip" an activity to do a preferred activity in class. The children are speaking a lot of French and having fun choosing the preferred activities when their names are drawn. </div><div><br /></div><div>We are playing a game called "Dos à Dos" where one child sits back to back with another student. One student gives instructions about where to place a game piece then they check the success of their instructions. We will be building on to this activity to tell a story. </div><div><br /></div><div>In writing we are focusing adding detail and a sequence of event to the writing. We are also working on when to use a capital letter and periods. When writing, I alternate between having the children choose a topic to write about and giving a set topic. </div><div><br /></div><div>Many children have tried Boukili at home. I am noticing that the children are reading the books online far faster than they read at school. In order to get the most out of this home reading time, the children should make efforts to read the books independently and then listen to the recordings of the books. Also when they don't get the answers correct at the end of the story, this is a good chance to reread or listen to the book. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUYfV_5HOvgfZXfYlJGStprNlUjW5i8D-rEQlizZT9Y1P90lCLdW3htYx_CMup3Qwh_Y2enGiYojdr85i4kFVH6NLqXVTfs4OmTQQzOIegLQD8o09cdY-uzHzwRVPhtsMHBSydFHhs-xkHkkyLyP5_VqAZs_4RhyIxjzgwRHaAljLc-qikWJMk4yTI/s4032/IMG_6324.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUYfV_5HOvgfZXfYlJGStprNlUjW5i8D-rEQlizZT9Y1P90lCLdW3htYx_CMup3Qwh_Y2enGiYojdr85i4kFVH6NLqXVTfs4OmTQQzOIegLQD8o09cdY-uzHzwRVPhtsMHBSydFHhs-xkHkkyLyP5_VqAZs_4RhyIxjzgwRHaAljLc-qikWJMk4yTI/w150-h200/IMG_6324.JPG" width="150" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dos à Dos</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Math</h4><div>As you have noticed, the children are bringing Fluency Facts home to practice.

We are working towards using strategies rather than counting each individual object. This is something you can practice at home as well since many children are still counting every item rather than grouping or counting on from a set number. For example if I have 14 items, I can count by 1 or 2 but I can also make a group of 10 and then keep counting 11, 12, 13,14. The same can be applied to doubles. When I have 9 items I can make 2 piles of 4 which equal 8 and there is one item left to count. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZrRCKAXlFwmWRko_tqLQYhQV8HDU5OtiNKuISa856wGNNMgnBs_mksu3fGObBe9qE-7SQFA44RU47iAfFo1OIHXzS0yI214K3AWQ1EW_t3oYRRCYEEZm8iuByZMvgBkwMKzBlye-sJHfLOHLCmt7NR6hanrkjNdm1MWQFo_VVsRPyoIiqFwuFeKVX/s4032/IMG_6322.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZrRCKAXlFwmWRko_tqLQYhQV8HDU5OtiNKuISa856wGNNMgnBs_mksu3fGObBe9qE-7SQFA44RU47iAfFo1OIHXzS0yI214K3AWQ1EW_t3oYRRCYEEZm8iuByZMvgBkwMKzBlye-sJHfLOHLCmt7NR6hanrkjNdm1MWQFo_VVsRPyoIiqFwuFeKVX/w150-h200/IMG_6322.JPG" width="150" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Showing addition 7+6</td></tr></tbody></table><h4 style="text-align: left;">Things that you can do at home:</h4><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Listen with your child as they read the books on Boukili. </li><li>Play board games and card games at home to build familiarity with addition to 20.

Number Sense is promoting understanding of how numbers relate and connect. We are working with numbers to 20, gradually building to larger numbers. We are using French to play Go Fish with number cards to 20. We have been playing Snap in class to reinforce place value and create understanding of the relationship of the numbers 11-20 to 10. We are using number lines and cuisinaire rods to make connections between numbers.

We have been reviewing the letter sounds. We started with the consonants that slide nicely into the next sound when you try to sound our new words. These letters are l, m, n, s, j, ch, r, z, v. We will be moving on to the letter sounds that are more difficult to blend such as t, p, k, b etc. The students have centres that promote hearing the sounds in words, spelling and reading sight words, playing hangman. These centres are all play based. </div><div><br /></div><div>We have started our reading program and are practicing reading alone and with a partner. I have noticed that many of the students are using the first letter sound to guess new words. Over the next few weeks, we will be working on blending letter sounds together to decode new words. The reading bins have many books that are decodable and will help reinforce this skill.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODbzjLC-dwf9udesAxUUPwpAftF2sTpxzNfLJPz9AwQO_x2bboK7RXXm_IyXkjB9kCJ1TOpY6EQdVs3gmV53M1LkFQVLE2HT02XfF6L9-myohp8TkZEJs2_Z5RmLQqsFTE0OlhxY8Hwk1Nct9TQWLFGyzhWNvoL_chpgNXB2jU8s_1bWfU0VLsPyK/s3264/IMG_4969.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODbzjLC-dwf9udesAxUUPwpAftF2sTpxzNfLJPz9AwQO_x2bboK7RXXm_IyXkjB9kCJ1TOpY6EQdVs3gmV53M1LkFQVLE2HT02XfF6L9-myohp8TkZEJs2_Z5RmLQqsFTE0OlhxY8Hwk1Nct9TQWLFGyzhWNvoL_chpgNXB2jU8s_1bWfU0VLsPyK/w200-h150/IMG_4969.JPG" width="200" /></a></div></div><div>We have also begun writing. We will write stories, reflections as well as record our thoughts and ideas about the learning we are doing. The students' first piece of writing was about their families.

The kids are encouraged to write unknown words using the letter sounds they know for example mezn for maison. As they read and write more, their spelling becomes more accurate as does their understanding of French spelling patterns. </div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Things you can do at home:</h4><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>With cards you can Play Go Fish or Snap. When playing snap place a 10 card face up and turn 1 other card to add to the ten. When playing encourage your child to play in French. </li><li>Practice blending 2 letters together with your child. </li><li>Play Hangman at home with your child. Encourage them to sound out the word even when there are only a few letters, humming for the missing letters. </li></ul></div><div><br /></div>Mme.

The children are practicing reading on our own. They find a spot to sit in class and put a mat down. The children pick 2-3 books that they practice reading several times. </div><div>To practice reading the children are:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>getting their mouth ready to say the letter sound</li><li>rereading new words to blend the letter sounds together e.g. R-o-s-ie becomes Ro-sie then Rosie</li><li>checking that the words that they say make sense in the story.</li></ul><div>If there are more than 2 words on a page that they do not know, then they should change their book for something that is easier and still provides a challenge. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>The blue bins, pictured on the bottom shelf, are activities that support oral language, sight word recognition and spelling. Each table gets a bin after snack and works at the activity. Each day they have a different activity. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji4Zn8iS2xmrwQs6lpIePTZd35tLtQuQjhpGzWS4D3_Zn5p5repnJrdv9CTj939ckvKJcgBTkeCZuNu4st9Fp_aBARZpp7ZyD5VOuwhRrmnfudkZ61wnYBi_GS5c_ZN6YrhHxhJGc1vuimNjdhQ2W5aRHrbaojMF93D_dsYmondMaTZ-alGgfpYXN4/s3264/IMG_4936.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji4Zn8iS2xmrwQs6lpIePTZd35tLtQuQjhpGzWS4D3_Zn5p5repnJrdv9CTj939ckvKJcgBTkeCZuNu4st9Fp_aBARZpp7ZyD5VOuwhRrmnfudkZ61wnYBi_GS5c_ZN6YrhHxhJGc1vuimNjdhQ2W5aRHrbaojMF93D_dsYmondMaTZ-alGgfpYXN4/s320/IMG_4936.JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Out literacy centres<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Math</h4><div>We have been using Cuisinaire Rods to create number trains.

<br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Our classroom</h3><div>So often parents do not get to pop into the class as often as they would like. Also when asking young children what they did at school, most parents say that they hear about recess and play but not as much detail about the day to day classroom activities. </div><div><br /></div><div>I use this website as a way to share what we are exploring in class. I will share the themes that we are working on as well as pictures of materials we are using in class. I use play as the predominant way to facilitate learning, build understanding and show competence in class rather than paper work. This website will allow you to see what we are doing as a class as a whole. </div><div><br /></div><div>My intention is to update the website at least once a month. I will send an email with a link to the new content when I update the blog. Feel free to visit and use the resources at the top of the page at anytime. </div>
<br />
Often with a post, I will include a section for you titled "Things you can do". This will include suggestions of things to do at home to extend the learning that is happening in the class, as well as suggestions of specific questions you can ask that may get a more detailed answers than the question "What did you do today?". These suggestions are ways for your child to share with you what they can do. You can see for yourself how your child is learning and growing their brain!<div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Resources for you on this website.</h3><h4 style="text-align: left;">Tabs along the top of this webpage:</h4><div>
As you can see there are many pages along the top of the site with resources for you and your child. They are there for your convenience and to extend the learning that we are doing in class. They are by no means meant as homework. </div><div><br /></div><div>These pages also include many resources that I have chosen and curated that I feel are appropriate for the grade and stage of my class. Feel free to explore and use these pages as best fits you and your family. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a quick synopsis of the pages, if you would like, but you really don't have to read any further, you can just dive in. <h4>Everyday Things</h4><div>This page of the website has suggestions of how you can incorporate "school learning" into things you are doing with and around your child all the time. </div><h4>Read at Home</h4><div>If your child needs support with reading or writing these tools will help.</div><div><br /></div><div>On this page there are links to the Boulkili reading app, word lists and Kalulu letter sound practice. With the word list you can have your child make up cards with the words and play go fish, use them to make a hopscotch outside or write a silly story. </div><div><br /></div><div>We will be using the Kalulu pages at school and you will see them coming home throughout the year. You can read the Kalulu pages online as well if you choose. Boukili has books that your child can read and then listen to the book to hear how accurate they were reading. </div><h4>Learning Activities</h4><div>This is a general page that has many websites with ideas for being outside, reading, math and games for Oral French practice. </div><h3>Songs</h3><div>Feel free to explore these playlists and sing along! This is a great way to expand your child's oral language.</div>

We are using toys and manipulative that we have in the classroom. The skills we have been practicing are: making a pattern, naming patterns and extending patterns. The students have strips of paper with the name of a pattern, their job is to replicate the pattern. After we practice several times, the children will create a pattern and write the name on a strip of paper. </div><div><br /></div><div>We willl be looking at different ways to use objects to make patterns such as by the colour of the object, the shape, the size and the direction which the object faces. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next week we will continue with patterns and play a game with pattern blocks and police cars. A child makes a pattern with a mistake in the pattern. A second child then drives the police car along the pattern until they find and correct the mistake. </div></div><div><br /></div><div>We will continue with pattern practice through next week and then begin working on number sense. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcL0LKKFg6CWKGpFU0cdFXR0MgnCRnYugABxbCpFqZ2sJEN3CPdaCCo89tlPgEz0qAt-p756vK4fmXsKUuPIcUqDiowfnaApGdfBYyEXJa5QqjJHYbZOtbF-e7eHSX2ZJ5SrkGtUCZaw/s2048/IMG_4032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcL0LKKFg6CWKGpFU0cdFXR0MgnCRnYugABxbCpFqZ2sJEN3CPdaCCo89tlPgEz0qAt-p756vK4fmXsKUuPIcUqDiowfnaApGdfBYyEXJa5QqjJHYbZOtbF-e7eHSX2ZJ5SrkGtUCZaw/w200-h150/IMG_4032.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Community Building</h2><h3 style="text-align: left;">Stick and Stone</h3><br /><div><br /></div><div>We have been enjoying many read aloud books about school and friendship. On Wednesday, we read the story Stick and Stone. This is a wonderful book that shares the story of an unlikely friendship between a stick and a stone. After we read the story the brainstormed all the types of playground equipment at school. The students were asked to work in groups to draw equipment that Stick could play on, that Stone could play on and what they could play together.</div><div><br /></div><div>Once they had generated their ideas, on Friday they were given the task of building a playground for Stick and Stone to play on using toys in the class. </div><div><br /></div><div>Working together, sharing materials, sharing ideas and deciding on how to build together is really tough work. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1sqCKT4EzEYDNzY9ji8tErnF2egyQDtV56fU6oOPBQm_t2giHrFK_Bghwcg2uzcW_AzqhaqsQWVOBYAHf54X-t9i1xD9I2ZyGp__N5MhNfSq9BfBBIJ1pUVbmhFpRji6GH85vsc895A/s2048/IMG_4035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1sqCKT4EzEYDNzY9ji8tErnF2egyQDtV56fU6oOPBQm_t2giHrFK_Bghwcg2uzcW_AzqhaqsQWVOBYAHf54X-t9i1xD9I2ZyGp__N5MhNfSq9BfBBIJ1pUVbmhFpRji6GH85vsc895A/w200-h150/IMG_4035.JPG" width="200" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Growth Mindset</h3><div>We are also reading books about growth mindset which have the message that it is okay to make mistakes. When we make mistakes we learn and stretch our brain. We have been talking about what it means to be present and practice mindfulness. We have been talking about the parts of our brain (prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and amygdala) and how each helps us at school. As well, we have been talking about our elastic brain and how we can stretch our brain to try new things that are hard or challenging. We have also been talking about the "power of "YET". </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTx2D1krzllMYCi5nbjIXZ059lSRO0IrHqIFN_g1LHpUn9KePNMi-ambtUVWoO0cknMfbHpbG3sT1PKf9SKsVgN3R6VrQsQnWgOOp2jP48EfprXsE9z2MVxn42qDgR1OAvgeAej3Ufg/s2048/IMG_4033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTx2D1krzllMYCi5nbjIXZ059lSRO0IrHqIFN_g1LHpUn9KePNMi-ambtUVWoO0cknMfbHpbG3sT1PKf9SKsVgN3R6VrQsQnWgOOp2jP48EfprXsE9z2MVxn42qDgR1OAvgeAej3Ufg/w200-h150/IMG_4033.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Our Emotions</h3><div><br /></div><div>We have been giving our emotions colours, not as a value or in judgement but as a way of differentiating which colours support learning and which colours are better for other situations and may make learning harder. </div><div><br /></div><div>We have been talking about how all our feelings are valid and that there is a time and place for all of our feelings. When we have strong feelings at school, those feeling are valid. The children are being introduced to tools and techniques that help to manage big feelings.

At this point in the year, they are very tired and need play time to process all that has happened in the day.</li><li>Ask your child about the bubble gum brain and the brick brain. </li><li>Have your child use the pipe cleaner they brought home to show you how to identify the core (le coeur) of a pattern. </li><li>Have crayons and art supplies on hand and encourage time to draw and colour. This helps to process their day and it supports writing. In the primary grade (through grade 3) we often start with a drawing to facilitate writing and generating ideas for writing. </li><li>Count in French, especially higher than 30! There are links to videos that have the French counting words under the tab "Songs we are singing" at the top of the page. </li></ol></div></div>Mme.

One morning we discovered that our Lego people were frozen in ice! This led to a discussion about what makes an object a solid or a liquid. We also took time throughout the day to draw what was happening in the plates on our tables. As the ice began to melt we explored and watched a video about the water cycle. We talked about where in our homes we have seen condensation and steam. </div><div><br /></div><div>As part of our explorations with solids, we used plasticine to model how the plasticine does not change shape unless we pull it, roll it or otherwise use force on it.</div><div><br /></div><div>We also explored liquids in class. We gathered material and recorded if we thought that they would float or sink. The next day we tested the object to see if our predictions were accurate. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipyXvP9MkjAqaYXcbe00lkkvkXZgOl4TGa7O_XTew2jQuNpsY5Mx0gz8Q8kAZ8MoSPl-la7YHqX5w6xBf2aqaruRM6PAaLlywhlc5iFpHhyv7u48JdaxiR4I2SXZ36PUvP_BP0SI_neA/s1493/IMG_3504.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1449" data-original-width="1493" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipyXvP9MkjAqaYXcbe00lkkvkXZgOl4TGa7O_XTew2jQuNpsY5Mx0gz8Q8kAZ8MoSPl-la7YHqX5w6xBf2aqaruRM6PAaLlywhlc5iFpHhyv7u48JdaxiR4I2SXZ36PUvP_BP0SI_neA/s320/IMG_3504.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Observing the states of water</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Geometry</h4><div>Over the last several weeks we have continued to explore 2D shapes. We have been playing "What's my rule?" (C'est quoi ma règle?). The students work with a partner. One child sorts the shapes based on an attribute (size, colour, thickness etc.) and the second child has to guess the rule for sorting. The grade 1's are sorting by one attribute and the grade 2's are using two or more attributes. </div><div><br /></div><div>We went on a shape scavenger hunt in class. The students searched for 2D shapes in the 3D objects in class. For example our class table groups make a hexagon. </div><div><br /></div><div>Recently the students have been creating 2D shapes using geoboards.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY7a3CS_3teiwgx4C_B4eRQ3QfzTGF2M6EZbQdnWPyc8TPdd6NYrlmw0bx5vOPQqERmSu6u2qMCyg3OXKPRU0dE5fUNwwGHdC8QofGow8li-KVzl4jyEzD8ExfDmvHr5DjvqW7OM3jAg/s1936/IMG_0295.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1936" data-original-width="1621" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY7a3CS_3teiwgx4C_B4eRQ3QfzTGF2M6EZbQdnWPyc8TPdd6NYrlmw0bx5vOPQqERmSu6u2qMCyg3OXKPRU0dE5fUNwwGHdC8QofGow8li-KVzl4jyEzD8ExfDmvHr5DjvqW7OM3jAg/s320/IMG_0295.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Exploring 2D shapes</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Core competencies</h4><div>As we prepare for report cards to come out at the end of the month, the students are preparing their self-evaluation of the core competencies. These competencies include communication, thinking as well as personal and social responsibility. We engage in these competencies all the time with our activities. </div><div><br /></div><div>Over the last few weeks we have been reading books that illustrate each of the competencies so that the children have concrete examples of what each of the competencies look like. We are watching a movie "Meet the Robinsons" to continue to explore the competencies. At the beginning of the movie the character Lewis does not demonstrate many of the core competencies. As we watch the movie we are pausing and talking about which competencies he demonstrates and which ones he is working on. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next week the children will complete their own self- evaluation.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a link to <a href="https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/competencies" target="_blank">the BC core competencies</a>. </div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">FreshGrade Connect</h4><div>If you haven't checked in recently, please log in to FreshGrade and leave a 👍 or a 😀 in the comment box of the assessments in the portfolios. The evaluations that you find on the portfolio are the basis of the upcoming report card. </div><div><br /></div><div>Recently the students have started to take their own pictures of their work. The pictures that they take have their name in the picture (so I know whose work is in the photo) and a card with a self-evaluation. The ⭐ means that your child thinks that this is their best work, a 😀 means "I did it" and the 😑 means your child thinks that they would like more support or practice for this activity. </div><div><br /></div><h4 style="text-align: left;">Home reading</h4><p style="text-align: left;">As I read with students next week, we will begin our home reading program. Your child will choose a book that they can read independently and bring it home. Students benefit from rereading books. To that end, please keep the book at home until your child has had a chance to read the book on three different occasions. Enjoy!</p><p style="text-align: left;">Please let me know if you do not want books to come home at this time. This is not a mandatory activity or homework. </p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Things that you can do at home:</h4><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Look for 2D shapes in furniture and objects in your home. For example the side of the couch could be a rectangle. </li><li>Talk about the temperature outside relative to the rain and (maybe) snow. We discussed the freezing temperature of water in class. </li><li>Read books with your child that they enjoy. Look at the library books with you child, ask them what words on the page they can read or find. </li></ol><div><br /></div></div>Mme.

The work that I post on the portfolio is there to give you an idea of what we are working on and the progress your child is making. The comments that I write are to help give you a clear picture of where your child is and what the next steps are. These assessments are what I refer to when I am writing the report card in January. </div></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Things you can do at home:</h3><div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Give your child an opportunity to draw, build or find the different shapes we have been exploring at home. Ask them what the French name for each is.</li><li>Write random numbers (10-60) on a paper and ask your child what it is called in French. I have noticed a number of the children are only able to say the French name when reciting the numbers in order. This is important vocabulary for all their time in French Immersion. The first time they will have Math in English is grade 10ish.</li><li>Read the booklet "Le garçon pain d'épices" with your child when it comes home. </li><li>Ask your child about the pictures on FreshGrade. You could ask:</li><ul><li>What is the activity you are doing?</li><li>What is challenging about this activity for you? or How could you make it more challenging? </li></ul></ol></div>Mme.

We used the story "Gros Ours Grincheux" to introduce story elements. We talked about the characters (les personnages), the setting (l'endroit) as well as the problem in the story. We glued the characters on a chart paper. The main character (the bear) was in the cave and the secondary characters were in the forest.

The grade 2's will write about the toy being missing, who finds the toy and where they find the toy. </div><div><br /></div><div>The pictures below show a vocabulary building activity we did before writing.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh99OOqATMn5-4iPSO4sWP_5au4Uqf9lCY2sl5INisCjmjzt-JFwP4VZeQ1VHw0fK7x3_BCl10-ZN8fIW_wco3_HPlghL1bajggk2mPY0GguXfPyMyPcAhGKty9JzizupHTOK5p2ZQ4Q/s2048/IMG_4800.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh99OOqATMn5-4iPSO4sWP_5au4Uqf9lCY2sl5INisCjmjzt-JFwP4VZeQ1VHw0fK7x3_BCl10-ZN8fIW_wco3_HPlghL1bajggk2mPY0GguXfPyMyPcAhGKty9JzizupHTOK5p2ZQ4Q/w200-h150/IMG_4800.HEIC" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimQ3MX1iuMJ1y9Bnv8AbAGaqO2qF914WkFeaMN9xidaG3dpR9eYHaxLGna_DWY0xyfr5_12LG0sGkpbEb6QHLRqzHF-nNSgy4-eHMjJOyzqVZPhYryBAW3Cb3CIcg79r7sGh7pmJk7eQ/s2048/IMG_4801.HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimQ3MX1iuMJ1y9Bnv8AbAGaqO2qF914WkFeaMN9xidaG3dpR9eYHaxLGna_DWY0xyfr5_12LG0sGkpbEb6QHLRqzHF-nNSgy4-eHMjJOyzqVZPhYryBAW3Cb3CIcg79r7sGh7pmJk7eQ/w200-h150/IMG_4801.HEIC" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">The Numbers 11-20</h3><div>In the next week we will be working with the numbers 11-20. We will be looking at all the different ways we can describe numbers relative to 10. Describing numbers relative to 10 is an important concept as our number system is a base 10 system. This is the very beginning of Place Value. </div><div><br /></div><div>In our morning math baskets we are practicing addition and decomposing numbers which are based on the activities that you read about in the last post. The grade 1's are working on representing decomposed numbers and addition stories using drawings and numbers. The grade 2's are working on writing accurate number facts using + and =. They are also self-evaluating which facts they have memorized. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiazZbW669Zy6g1voIi_ukE2PncqClJnNJk258SxPSFeb3AXr71zS7w1NDlMfFB1O-uObEb-OqLpwovJpbALPe2wtYBOWdK8s4wdYFCRGwwWIInO5GevYrBYXgaLL1RJ_OVgTiCl0_hEg/s2048/IMG_3433.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiazZbW669Zy6g1voIi_ukE2PncqClJnNJk258SxPSFeb3AXr71zS7w1NDlMfFB1O-uObEb-OqLpwovJpbALPe2wtYBOWdK8s4wdYFCRGwwWIInO5GevYrBYXgaLL1RJ_OVgTiCl0_hEg/w200-h150/IMG_3433.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">FreshGrade Connect</h3><div>For those who have not left a comment yet, could you please leave a 😀 or a 👍in the comment box for the "Readers's Workshop" or "Making 9" so that I know you have seen the most recent activities.

We made a list of questions that the class was wondering about fall and leaves. Some of the things that they were wondering were; why the leaves fall, what happened when the leaves are on the ground and if the leaves are living after they fall. We have spent the last few weeks exploring these ideas.</div><div><br /></div><div>As you have seen on FreshGrade, we went outside and looked at the trees. We brought leaves into the class to classify and sort. We read several books about leaves and the different kinds of leaves. </div><div><br /></div><div>This week to summarize the unit, I asked the children to draw all the things that they know about leaves and have learned about leaves. They shared their drawings with a partner. This learning routine is called "Give 1 Get 1" where the children make a list of knowledge and then shared it with others.</div><div>We then watched a video about why the leaves change colours. The children went back to their drawings and added the new information about why the leaves change colours. </div><div><br /></div><h1 style="text-align: left;">Math</h1><div>We have started our unit on number sense. This week we are working with the numbers 7-10. The grade 1's are focusing on all the different ways to decompose each number. Decomposing numbers means showing numbers in parts such as 7 is 1 & 6, 2 & 5, 3 & 4. The grade 2's are taking the opportunity to memorize (or review) addition facts for each number. Over the next few weeks we will be exploring the numbers 11-20 which will include an introduction to place value. </div><div><br /></div><div>We are using a variety of materials to explore numbers from 7-20. Some of these materials are pictured below including: dice, cuisinaire rods and 10 Frames. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Gs9LwDg_hLl6vfaVOXRpD3ePKRXRp8YkbZltDnJwFrQzWQD2R-eJHmAoDUl_xt-MXFHPbvMtYmT3VXX8eA-1waF-xmGzol_szXuktLmOE7vA8Kg_3MFVO6WkUYaT8J_ugx0j5iERcw/s2048/IMG_3396.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Gs9LwDg_hLl6vfaVOXRpD3ePKRXRp8YkbZltDnJwFrQzWQD2R-eJHmAoDUl_xt-MXFHPbvMtYmT3VXX8eA-1waF-xmGzol_szXuktLmOE7vA8Kg_3MFVO6WkUYaT8J_ugx0j5iERcw/s320/IMG_3396.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><h1 style="text-align: left;">FreshGrade<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhAyWuscLy-UEMlFftG1mAEncwFZDraYuqHktbGar3LMUcm9z_MWTTuiY7pih-0p8nHeWacGkP-062MyDVV1zGcWryTWirdQCiH_Mx8mlDppcYhnWtYytB9rHXL6DMpH-r5jczHmbutQ/s289/Screen+Shot+2020-11-12+at+3.32.44+PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="63" data-original-width="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhAyWuscLy-UEMlFftG1mAEncwFZDraYuqHktbGar3LMUcm9z_MWTTuiY7pih-0p8nHeWacGkP-062MyDVV1zGcWryTWirdQCiH_Mx8mlDppcYhnWtYytB9rHXL6DMpH-r5jczHmbutQ/s0/Screen+Shot+2020-11-12+at+3.32.44+PM.png" /></a><br /><br /></h1><div>FreshGrade is the digital portfolio that I am using to share your child's learning with you as the learning is in progress during class time. This allows you to see what is happening throughout the year and leading up to the report cards in January and June. There is a website post about how to log on in the column on the right of this webpage.</div><div><br /></div><div>I use FreshGrade to share pictures and videos of activities we are doing at school. I also post assessments that have detailed written comments and sometimes a snapshot of where the child is on the "proficiency scale" (Proficient, developing etc.). The purpose of these assessments are so you can quickly see what your child is doing at school and what the next steps for your child are. </div><div><br /></div><div>The children give consent for me to take their picture. This means that they are sharing work that they feel is complete and meets the criteria (the expectations of the activity). I encourage you to ask your children about the things you see on FreshGrade.</div>Mme.

We have just started our reading routines and next week I am hoping to add our story bins that are part of our reading time. </div><div><br /></div><div>We are working on the 100 chart and the idea that numerals are names for "how many" and the numeral always represents that amount. We are also working on place value as we count each day that we have at school. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2jjMWSPBa7x-adFlfbZXNvWek8sYb96gqn6SGrDQyVVn3TVsLCtBbdB_EX_AxTVAMzEaWMNby9yuaE-HoS7sHyjtvAsWciqLKXsjAqtHA214PL0mFSZ9eHc2u3jeyx4REkimKpchuQ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2jjMWSPBa7x-adFlfbZXNvWek8sYb96gqn6SGrDQyVVn3TVsLCtBbdB_EX_AxTVAMzEaWMNby9yuaE-HoS7sHyjtvAsWciqLKXsjAqtHA214PL0mFSZ9eHc2u3jeyx4REkimKpchuQ/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPWZc56MvoQA__-hBUJ1VZ1PP5LfPEp_TKvrZUbQGLzOu_DYxa5Y2GRX41HnNwJ6x_KBdFtWieL8nJfFiJuiQ8B5n0HADeGZRkjBnD-bGpC0yS-Lnxo_HbqlEogsj7T_l7RwJ9YGk8ug/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="173" data-original-width="156" height="137" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPWZc56MvoQA__-hBUJ1VZ1PP5LfPEp_TKvrZUbQGLzOu_DYxa5Y2GRX41HnNwJ6x_KBdFtWieL8nJfFiJuiQ8B5n0HADeGZRkjBnD-bGpC0yS-Lnxo_HbqlEogsj7T_l7RwJ9YGk8ug/w124-h137/image.jpeg" width="124" /></a></div></div></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Being a learner</h3><div>Over the next few weeks we are going to focus on what it looks like to be a learner in a grade 1/ 2 class. In my class we focus a lot on what we think, know and how we get an answer rather than focus on a single answer. I also try to have the students share their ideas and thinking as much as possible. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next week we will be talking about what a reader, writer and mathematician does. A reader shares their ideas, chooses a "just right" book, shows they understand the story through play and uses many strategies to read new books. A writer shares their ideas through drawings and print, shares their writing and can change their ideas. Finally, a mathematician makes mistakes, shares their ideas and thinking, shows their thinking and looks for patterns in numbers. This will set up the foundation for all our conversations about learning for the year and hopefully all along their school journey.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaPWBJcHdG67gBLl7_yF1kB19t_UkBuCGJlA4fsN6ZeCgd1nnyTIJkwY0yoTHaylihQip2Ft_3cyVsGJMN8QPLWhPg9j19Dv-GQ6eg7_iwMJ1qwyEk2m42Ea_zkmOYQTuC9doiaYXBPA/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1874" data-original-width="1556" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaPWBJcHdG67gBLl7_yF1kB19t_UkBuCGJlA4fsN6ZeCgd1nnyTIJkwY0yoTHaylihQip2Ft_3cyVsGJMN8QPLWhPg9j19Dv-GQ6eg7_iwMJ1qwyEk2m42Ea_zkmOYQTuC9doiaYXBPA/w127-h154/writing5.jpg" width="127" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Healthy attendance</h3></div><div>Thank you to all the families that have been keeping children home when they have had any symptoms.

<u>In- class changes</u></h3>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
If you are returning to school, you will have received this information in an email. I thought I would put it here on the website for easy reference. </div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
There are a few changes for our restart:</div>
<ul style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 2em;">
<li>please bring a FULL water bottle, the water fountains have been shut off</li>
<li>all plastic containers and compost will return home in the lunch kit as recycling and compost has been suspended at the school</li>
<li>please send your child dressed for the weather (rain/ sun and hot) as we are to be outside as much as possible</li>
<li>NO agendas at this time. I will continue to communicate by email and the website. </li>
</ul>

<h3>
<u>Drop off and Pick up</u></h3>
<h4>
Drop off -School start is now <strong>8:15</strong> .</h4>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
We need to have a staggered start, we will no longer be lining up and waiting for the bell with the aim to create distance between the children.<br />
<br /></div>
<ul style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 2em;">
<li>I will open the class door at 8:15. Please do not <em>all </em>try and arrive for 8:15. If you are an early bird I suggest a drop off 8:05-8:10 for some play time outside, if you get going more slowly then aim for 8:10-8:20 ish</li>
<li>between 8:15-8:30 we will be doing art, finishing unfinished work etc.. This will be an individual work block, not centres.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: -apple-system-font;"><span style="font-size: 12.000000953674316px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<h4>
Pick Up- School end is now <strong>1:58</strong></h4>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
I will aim to be outside in front of our class after 1:45. We will be singing, listening to a story or playing a group game. I will begin to dismiss the students as soon as I see you, starting as soon as we come outside.<br />
<br /></div>
<ul style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 2em;">
<li>When you arrive please stay on the sidewalk before the green space by our classroom (effectively at the edge of school property, not closer to the school than the fire hydrant, please.) </li>
<li>Again try to stagger your pick up time eg. 1:45- 1:55. 2:00- 2:10. After 2:10 your child will be waiting by the flagpole for you. At this time these are the ONLY pick up arrangements. Your child cannot wait by the picnic tables or in the office for example.</li>
</ul>

<h4>
Older siblings</h4>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
All older siblings will be on the field and you will meet your older child by the field. Older siblings will not be picking up younger siblings from the classroom at this time.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: -apple-system-font; font-size: 12px;">
This is a lot and many changes to our routines. The best advice I have for you is to quote a well known doctor in our province "Be Kind, Be Calm and Be Safe". We are being mindful and protecting those around us.<br />

Please read to the end of the blog post today. There are some changes to the Learning Letters as school will be in session June 1st. Also I found some fun and place based pictures for social distancing released by the City of Colwood.<br />
<br />
Here are the detailed instructions for the week. <a href="https://sd79-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/vwilson_sd79_bc_ca/EY2V47tNAX5AhsldPVFsCEQBr-AzWXrtpVXoOgox2kwMrQ?e=ru3ZVV" target="_blank">Click Here</a><br />

<u>Learning Activities in June during reopening</u></h3>
Starting the week of June 1st, we are continuing to provide remote learning for those students staying at home. At this moment, I am not sure what that will look like, however, given that I will have students 4 days a week, I will not be able to write up as detailed plans as you are used to. As we move forward into this partial opening, I will keep emailing you as I update this blog with more information.<br />
<br />
There are always the activities on the page of this website "Activities for kids", songs under "Songs we are singing", reading under "Home Reading", as well as all the past activities from the last few months that you can go back and revisit to continue the learning that has been happening in your home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><u style="font-family: inherit;">Social Distancing</u></span></h3>
<div>
After I had finished and sent out the learning activities, the City of Colwood released a series of pictures of signs up in the city that show what 2m might look like. I thought you might like to see them since one of the math tasks was to come up with your own poster for what 2m. I personally like the bull kelp photo. I think it would have been the one my own boys would relate to. </div>

</div>
With the return to in-class instruction, please send a photo that I can share in class and your child can explain to the class:<br />
<ol>
<li>Why they chose this activity to share.</li>
<li>What they like about the activity.</li>
<li>What they did if things were difficult.</li>
<li>What they would change if they were to repeat the activity so that it continues to be a "Brain growing" activity.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Thanks for all the work you put into sharing the learning that was happening at home and how your children were doing. It has been a great help to me as I sit down to write report cards that summarize the learning that has been going on since February.</div>

<u>ADST- Applied Design, Skills and Technology</u></h3>
In school we do a lot of inquiry work where the kids are given a problem and have to find a creative way to solve the problem. The marble maze is an example of a class activity that falls under the ADST curriculum.<br />
<br />
When watching the news recently, I saw this clip from BBC world news.<br />
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/bbcnews/videos/coronavirus-kenyan-boys-innovative-way-to-wash-hands/284963849169020/" target="_blank">Kenyan hand washing station</a><br />
<br />
A boy in Kenya created a hands-free hand washing station to minimize the spread of COVID. I immediately thought of the ADST piece of our curriculum and why it is so important. Finding creative solutions to problems will always be needed and finding opportunities to practice these thinking and creative skills are valuable.<br />

I am loving the learning letters that I am receiving! What a wonderful way to stay connected to each of you from my home! Thanks for letting me share in your learning experiences.<br />
<br />
<h4>
My feedback on the learning letters</h4>
As many of you have noticed, I am sending feedback directly back to you and your child through email. Originally, I thought I would put the information into Ed Inform, but that has become too cumbersome. So I am making digital books out of the photos/videos, answers to the questions and my feedback, that I will send to you when this is all over. I will add the digital books to Ed Inform as well as to be a part of your child's permanent school report card.<br />
<br />
Instead of keeping the detailed instructions for the Learning Letters here on the blog, I have created this <a href="https://sd79-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/vwilson_sd79_bc_ca/ERvr-ogmRcVHqFO8gGdbW-sBKU3lbUq7lELyy8-H-MrANw?e=vTiT6E" target="_blank">PDF "</a><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://sd79-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/vwilson_sd79_bc_ca/ERvr-ogmRcVHqFO8gGdbW-sBKU3lbUq7lELyy8-H-MrANw?e=vTiT6E" target="_blank"> How- to" </a> document for the Learning Letters.

<u>Last week's Learning Activities- General feedback</u></h3>
<div>
Here is some feedback about last week's activities. I wanted to give this feedback after the week's activities. That way your child can use the feedback to reflect on their learning and engagement with these tasks.<br />
These tasks are ones that I wanted to give feedback for and <b>not</b> necessarily ones that I want the learning letters to be focused on. The learning letters should be focused on an activity about which your child can fully answer the reflection questions. They may want to share an activity but not be able to answer the questions, then move on to their second (or third 😊) choice.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
Learning Activities Feedback</h3>
<div>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><u>The Road, the Hill and the Mountain</u></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><div style="text-decoration: none;">
There were many activities this week that asked you to look at criteria (the road, the hill and the mountain). This is language we use in class to describe the different options to access the task. We are all on the same learning journey. </div>
<div style="text-decoration: none;">
For example with the writing task, everyone was going to communicate ideas on paper for that task. The road, the hill and the mountain just describe how scenic the route is going to be. Some children in class are newer drivers, ready to drive on the road, some have more experience and are ready for the hill and we have some travellers who are ready to explore the mountains. </div>
<div style="text-decoration: none;">
The key as you watch your child is that the level they pick should be <b>challenging</b> for them. I can tell you in the individual feedback on Ed Inform if they were working at a level that I know to be where they learn and grow. </div>

<u style="font-weight: normal;">Block task</u></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I hope you enjoyed this task. It is a challenge to find all the different ways to pile the blocks in a straight tower (not beside each other). Here are how many towers are possible for each grouping of blocks:</span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>3 blocks: You can make up to 7 towers.</li>
<li>4 blocks : You can make at least 15 towers</li>
<li>5 blocks: If you tried this challenge there are over 25 towers that you can make!</li>
</ul>

<u>Scavenger hunt</u></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hopefully you enjoyed one of the scavenger hunts last week on Earth day. In class we often sort objects and explain why the objects belong together or what is the "sorting rule". </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Here are some ideas for rules you can use when you sort items.</span><br />
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTableGrid" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: none; color: black;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="border: 1pt solid windowtext; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 233.75pt;" valign="top" width="312"><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: , serif;">You can sort by:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" type="disc">

<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: , serif;">colour<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: , serif;">how object is used<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
</td><td style="border-bottom-color: windowtext; border-bottom-width: 1pt; border-right-color: windowtext; border-right-width: 1pt; border-style: solid solid solid none; border-top-color: windowtext; border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 233.75pt;" valign="top" width="312"><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-top: 0cm;">
A more sophisticated (challenging) way to sort the objects:<o:p></o:p></div>
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: , serif;">size and shape<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: , serif;">texture and size<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: , serif;">colour and shape<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: , serif;">etc.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
</ul>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<ul></ul>
<div>
If you did not get a chance to sort objects last week and this is interesting you, gather some objects at home and see if your family (when they are done work) can guess the rule for each pile. </div>
If you wanted to do the crayon rubbings, I hope you found a way to do them, despite the rainy days!<br />

<u>Zoom Meetings-</u> Please use the Zoom schedule that you find here, as it is the most up to date schedule. I find as I sit down and plan out my activities, my ideas for Zoom meetings change. I had to commit to the Zoom time slots in the bulletin from the Office at the end of March. 😊<br />
<br />
On that note, I would like to have small group Zoom meetings with the class this week. One will be on Wednesday at 1:00 and the other Friday at 11:00 <i>(note the time change)</i>. Please sign up for <b>one of </b>the two meetings. You can send me an email for your preferred time or you can sign up on this <a href="https://sd79-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/personal/vwilson_sd79_bc_ca/Ec4zZRZE_JFCnbYBCfunhQ4BtP2xbcuEQ_kMp_1Mmldl_A?e=UR6jAQ" target="_blank">Zoom meeting sign up</a>, a docx file.<br />

<li>Notice how your child interacts with or talks about the various activities.</li>
<li>Which activities does your child gravitate towards and engage in first? Last?</li>
<li>Is your child picking levels of the activities that are a challenge for them or do they pick easy alternatives? (In class we use the language "brain growing" activities).</li>
<li>Ask them to share what they are doing, how they are feeling about the activities.</li>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: small;">2. As </span>part of<span style="font-size: small;"> the learning letter, I would like you to send in <b>1 photo or 1 short video</b> (under 2 minutes) of an activity that your child is most proud of this week or found the most interesting to explore. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">For me, a picture/ video of your child "doing" an activity is more valuable and tells me more about your child's learning than a picture of a worksheet. </span><br />
<br />
3. Included in this email letter should be your child's answers to these questions:<br />
<ul>
<li>Why did you pick this activity to share with Vicki?</li>
<li>How was this activity a good fit for you to "grow your brain"?</li>
<li>What did you do when something was difficult?</li>
<li>If you were going to do this activity again, what would you change or add so it is still a "brain growing" activity for you?</li>
</ul>
<div>
4. Please add any observations or comments that you want to share about your child's work this past week. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will upload the pictures and videos to Ed Inform with your child's comments and my feedback of the activity so it will become part of your child's digital portfolio.<br />
<br />
Please send <b>only 1</b> piece of evidence for me to add to Ed Inform as it takes me up to 2 hours to update Ed Inform with 1 piece of work for each child in the class. Thanks. </div>
