Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you had a good day yesterday and enjoyed the sunshine!
Here are some activities for today.
Calendar/Weather - We do our calendar and weather every day. Use a calendar if you have one at home, or I have attached a November Calendar page at the bottom and in the Documents section. Go over the day, date, month and year. What day of the week is tomorrow? What day of the week was yesterday? There is a link below for the weather network, or you can check the Weather Network on TV. There are questions on the link to use.
Word Work - Sight Words - Keep working on the list you are at until you can read all words, without any problems. Once you know all the words, get someone at home to sign the page and you can go to the next list. Spelling - Have someone at home call out the words to you, and you can spell them on the spelling page for that list in your book. Once you can read and write these words it will also help with your reading and writing. In your blue book try the Word Work - Middle Sounds - Vowels (a/e/i/o/u) - B section. Look at the picture, say the word, what sound do you hear in the middle? If you have crayons, you can colour the pictures.
Reading - Pick one of your levelled books to read. Choose a story book to share with someone. One from the kit, one of your own or you can check out the Tumble Books site. Also there are some Remembrance Day poems, added below that you can also read. Use the strategies we have been working on to help with your reading. Make sure you record what you read on the log sheet.
Writing - Blue Book - Today try the Sight Words - List B - Sentences. Pick 5 of the 10 sight words and write a sentence for each one. Remember a sentence tells a whole idea and begins and ends properly. For a challenge, try to use more than 1 of the words in each sentence.
Squiggle Park - If you have access to a device, go on and play fro 15 minutes. Your code and password are on the front cover of your agenda.
Math - Warm Up - Jack Hartman Video - Count, move and exercise. If you can't get the video, count and move on your own. Today try counting by 2s. If you have a few other people at home, try Count around The Circle with them. Count by 2s to 30. Whoever says 20 or 30 are out. In your blue book, try the math page: Numbers - Counting In Dfferent Ways; by 1s to 30/ 2s to 30/ 10s to 100/ Backwards by 10s from 100. Play one of the math games from your kit. Today try, Fall Roll and Bump. All the materials you need are there.
Dream Box - If you have access to a device, go on and play for 15 minutes. Do the activities with the blue star first. Your code and password are on the front cover of your book.
STEAM Time - If you haven't done an activity yet and you have time today, check out the choice board and choose one to do for the week.
Outside Time - We are off to a frosty, sunny start to the day! It is supposed to warm up as the day goes on. Dress for the weather and head outside to explore, run and have some fun!
Veteran's Week/Remembrance Day - This week is a time for us to remember the sacrifice, courage and service of our Canadian Veterans, Soldiers and Forces. A poppy is a symbol to remember and never forget, those who sacrificed for our freedom. Today for Art, create your own poppy or a field of poppies. Use whatever materials you have available at home; crayons, markers, pencil crayons, paint. When you are done, hang it up somewhere in your house. This will be a reminder for you to remember and say thank you, whenever you see it. As well there are Remembrance Day poems added below.
Have a super day Grade 2! I miss you and hope to see you soon!
If there is anything I can do to help, or you have questions about any of the activities, please send me an e-mail. I am available throughout the day. Thank you for your support at home.
