An email will be coming to you tomorrow with some updates, wellness resources, and information for speaking to kids about Covid-19.
I have also included some additional suggestions for students to continue the learning that we had been focusing on at school, including (all completely optional):
- Getting outside and noticing seasonal changes/adaptations in plants
- Keeping a sketchbook / journal
- Planting some seeds for a garden (Grow Calgary is offering free seed kits!)
- Observe how waste is managed in your home – are there actions you could take to improve it, based on what you have learned? https://www.calgary.ca/UEP/WRS/Documents/WRS-Documents/Cart-Guides/Using_Your_Cart_Guide_2019.pdf
- Teach your families some of the math card games we have played (spiral multiplication, multiplication war, headbanz, close call), or create your own!
- Writing stories from Pobble 365 photos – be sure to have a rising action and use lots of descriptive words.
- Reading, reading, and more reading! You may even want to share your favourite parts with your families, draw settings or characters, or write your own endings.
- Emailing me interesting scientific observations or questions, to tell me about a great book you’ve read, or to share a story you’ve written 😊
A reminder that next week is spring break. I hope you can enjoy some rest and family time (and dare we hope for nice weather?!?). I will be in touch after the break with more information on next steps.
Take care!
Ms Brandley
