Hello families! I have reactivated my Blog as a quick and easy way to share some activities with you so you and your children can have some educational activities to do at home during this extended break. None of these actvities are mandatory, but I have had some requests for some review work. I posted on my Twitter account this free resource from Scholastic which has some amazing lesson plans and ideas for activities. https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/support/learnathome/grades-3-5.html I am also opening up a new library on Book Creator (which students can access through their student portal) for the Extended March Break. The access code is 6PCBVV6. Hope you are all enjoying some extra family time! Mrs. Alexander

Some More Ideas for Learning
Please don't forget to log into Hapara through the student portal and complete the assessments and reading logs that are on the right side of the page. I will be checking the reading logs daily and leaving little "stickers" for students. The Grade 3’s have been working with Sterling Park Retirement demonstrating the Gospel Value of Love. If your child (from any grade) would like to take the time to draw a picture or write a letter to one of the residents, I think it would really brighten their day.

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
