Study any that you have wrong.
If you are having trouble with the homophones try the recommended web sites and write sentences using the proper ones.

I hope everyone is healthy and staying safe. I’m assuming by now that everyone knows we will be starting the year with home learning once again. I am aware that for a variety of reasons not everyone is able to get onto teams. If you would prefer to pick up a home packet please pm me and I will get something ready for you. I will be on teams during regularly scheduled class times and will be available through the class FB forum for anyone who needs help or clarification on any work that is assigned. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to read and write daily.

What a beautiful day to get outside and enjoy the sun.
Take a notebook and pencil out with you and do the 5-4-3-2-1! grounding activity!
Record 5 things you see, 4 things you hear, 3 things you can touch, 2 things you smell and something you can taste.
Cuddle in a big blanket and read.
Remember it isn't about getting assignments done it is about what we learn in the process and on the way. Take time to do whatever will help you improve your reading and writing skills.
Grade 5/6M Mr. Methot has posted a French assignment on his class wall so go have a look!

A great day to cuddle with a good book and read. You can also take another go at writing a moment piece. How about a snow moment?
Moment piece~ Remember to keep it small, use all of your sense and make your writing come alive in your readers mind.

Think~Draw~Write~Revise
We will be using the writing prompts that students did during home learning to practice revising and editing skills. Students who did not do these will have time to work on them in class but will need to put in a little extra time finishing them up at home. Today all three classes used Assignment #1 to work on paragraphing. They should be working toward writing a paragraph for each letter of their name.
5/6M - finish the drawing
6H & 6/7M - finish the drawing and the first 2 paragraphs.
