Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work with me! I've enjoyed reading your texts and looking at all the math activities you have been working on.
Keep up the good work!!

Tuesday's Tips

Our Favorite ways to use mindfulness to stay calm and focused throughout the year up until spring break included...

• closing our eyes and taking deep breaths
• checking in with ourselves several times throughout the day, to see how we're feeling
• doing progressive body relaxation - stretching
• doing  Zentangles (drawing structured patters)

• 
  
• listening to a calming story (like I am peace) and music 
• paying attention to what 'Zone of Regulation' I'm in and doing different things to match my zone to the activity 

Tuesday's Tips

• Technology Tips- On a tablet or an iPad, you can't access the Google Classroom or Meet.  You can install them as apps, but the 9 dots are not visible.  Once you install them as an app and log in as a student, you should gain access.   
  On a computer...if parents are logged in as their own personal gmail account; they will not see the EDU accounts.  They must be logged in as a student to see Google Classroom or Google Meet.
• Reminder- Please email me one of your child's writing and math assignments again this week. In the future I hope that we can submit them on our Google classroom...one-step-at-a-time!

Good Morning! 

This week's weekly learning summary and daily learning plans are posted in our Google Classroom, under the "Classwork" tab. 

If you have not signed into our Google Classroom yet, please check your email from last Thursday for instructions on how to do so. If you cannot find the email or have difficulty accessing Google Classroom, please do not hesitate to email me. 

Hope everyone has a great day of learning! 

Weekly Learning Plan for April 6-10

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. I enjoyed our phone conversations or email “conversations” last week. As we’ve discussed, we will be offering at-home learning opportunities for the students by posting weekly learning plans each Monday. The learning activities will focus on literacy and math, and our goal is five hours of work each week. 

In Grade One, we recommend one hour of work each day Monday-Friday, following this guideline - 20 minutes of reading practice, 20 minutes of writing practise and 20 minutes to work on math. Please feel free to separate these 20 minute blocks for your child to maximize his/her ability to stay focused. If you have ANY questions, don’t hesitate to email me anytime from 9:00-11:00 or 1:00-3:00 Mon-Fri.

 Please ask your child to choose his/her favorite writing and math activity each week and email it to me for feedback.

To help students continue daily reading at home, your child's grade one teacher has created an account for your child to access on-line books on Razkids. Below are the instructions to help you access Razkids.

Happy Spring Everyone! 

A session called, Keeping the Home Language Alive that was to be hosted at the Calgary Public Library has been cancelled. As a result the CBE has recorded a webinar and created a Google Drive Folder that has resources. I have posted the links below.

Hi everyone!

We miss you and hope you are all safe and healthy.  Here are some great Covid-19 resources for families.

Also, please refer to the information on the CBE website. We have included some good information from the website that was emailed to parents. But just in case you missed the email, here it is...

Class cancellations are unusual and challenging events.  During this short period before spring break, we encourage families to maintain a balanced and consistent routine for children; including regular sleeping and eating times, breaks for activity and outdoor time, and healthy boundaries on screen time.   

After spring break, additional learning resources and activities will be shared to support students in learning.     

Children are naturally curious learners and there are opportunities at home to engage their learning. We have created a webpage (see below) that offers a variety of educational ideas to support literacy, numeracy and wellness at home for this week. The resources are meant as suggestions only. You may choose to use the links and activities as needed over the next few days as more long-term educational programming is considered.

Take care everyone!
