Week 2

Good morning families!

I hope you are all keeping well and managing during this unusual time. I am thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers. If there is anything you need please reach out and let me know. Mme Marta and I have spoken with most families but do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns.

I have updated the Hapara site with activities for students and I am including this "How To" video to help you access Hapara. There is a template for letters to seniors, the March journal, a math task and some fun activities. None of these tasks are mandatory, however the students all enjoy their journals so I encourage you to help them get those written.

Share their work with me through Google, or take a photo or scan their letter and send it to me at Jennifer.alexander@ocsb.ca   I will print them off and deliver them to the residence. Thanks for sharing love and kindness during this stressful time. Basic math skills such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing is always enc

Math Up! Here are some links (below) to the fraction activities we have been doing in class. To continue the learning at home, ask your child fun questions such as: "How much of your milk do you have left in your cup after you have had a few sips?" "We are going for a drive today, it will take 30 minutes to get there. How long will it take to drive one-third of the way? How long will we have been driving when we are half-way there? "Can you run a quarter of the way down the sidewalk?" "What fraction of the ________ can you eat?" (ex: pizza, cake, toast, apple...) Or you can put masking tape on the floor and have children hop, skip or twirl to where they think different spots are one the line ("Twirl to three-fourths").  These are great ways to connect the math concept to everyday activities.  Fractions of a Number Line Fractions of a Set Fractions of an Area
