Hi Everyone,
I hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy and coping in our new ‘normal’!. This week’s learning opportunities largely focus on a rainbow theme and 3Dimensional shapes. We haven’t forgotten mom’s/caregivers so have included a couple of activities on Friday that we hope your child can do somewhat independently so you have a bit of a surprise on Sunday. There are no additional spelling sheets in the drop box this week as we allow two weeks for review lists due to their length. We will continue with our weekly Zoom meetings at 1:00 on Monday and 11:00 on Wednesday and Friday. I hope to see you there!
1) Wednesday’s literacy
2) One of the Numeracy activities from the week (not necessary if doing Prodigy as I can see your child’s progress there)
If interested go toSpelling City to practice go to this link (you don’t need to register) https://www.spellingcity.com/users/srowledgetoscani

Numeracy
Close to 20 – Remove face cards except for the Aces. Deal 3 cards to each player. Place them face up in front of you. Which two cards bring you close to 20? Which player is closest? Challenge: Make it a larger number and use more cards. You can also ‘risk it’ by having players ask for more cards to see who can get closest to the number without going over.

Brainstorm and write down ways to show kindness to others. Use and 8 1/2 X11 piece of white paper to make a cloud, in that cloud in big letters write Be A Rainbow in Someone Else's Cloud! You can use felts to trace over letters to make this colourful. Cut out the cloud. Then on strips of coloured paper (all the differet colours of the rainbow) write the words you have brainstormed e.g.) smilem share your toys. If you don't have coloured paper, just use white paper and colour. Add these strips to the cloud in the correct order of a rainbow.

A great mnemonic device for remembering the colours of the rainbow is Roy. G BIV (Red, Orange Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet). Draw your own Roy G. BIV character and write a story about him. Edit story using C.O.P.S (capitals, organization, punctuation, spelling). Self-edit first and then have a parent edit. If you’d like re write and make a published copy.

1. Cut 7 strips of paper (use a ruler so they are about the same width).
2. Write your coupon idea on each strip
3. Colour the end of the strip in a rainbow colour and/or draw something in that colour eg. Red flower Orange butterfly etc. (Remember Roy. G. BIV)
4. Put the strips in the order of the rainbow

*Please note: Students are encouraged to read 15-20 minutes/day in addition to the activities outlined below. This can be done using books or magazines that you have at home, RAZ kids, Epic or Tumblebooks etc.
Please note: I am following the guidelines set out by our District Superintendant, Sylvia Russel. The activities I am offering are ‘learning opportunities’. Please feel free to use my weekly suggestions as you see fit.
'Kindergarten-Grade 3 planning will focus on language and literacy as well as numeracy from the provincial curriculum; an average of five to seven hours of learning opportunities per student per week'. So, that would equal approximately 1- 1.5 hours/day.
