Home Learning Nov. 1st

                       Home Learning: Nov. 1, 2021

French: Click on the attachment below to access the French activities.

Math: There are several activities in the home learning package that went home last month. Today, I am asking students to complete the assignment entitled ‘Measuring Length’.There are three separate parts to the ‘Measuring Length’ assignment to complete: Question 1 on the first page of the worksheet, and the activities ‘Practice’ and ‘Stretching Your Thinking’ on the second page of the worksheet. Measuring distance was introduced in class last week. If students would like to refresh their understanding of the concept they will find excellent review notes on the first page of the assignment or they could perhaps access the following on the internet:  Math Antics – Measuring Distance – Youtube.    The first four minutes of this ten-minute Math Youtube video explains the concept quite well.  Students should spend approximately 60 minutes on the Math assignments each day of home learning.

Art:  Students were provided with three watercolor projects (Landscapes, Flowers, Patterns) in the home learning package that went home last month. The package included: a watercolor paint set, two small paint brushes, instructions, and paper.  Students are asked to complete the Landscapes watercolor project this Wednesday Nov. 3rd if we are still in home learning. Students should spend approximately 60 minutes each Wednesday on the art activities.

Reading (English):  Students had their last library period on Thursday Oct. 29th. All students had an opportunity to sign out a new reading book. I would suggest that students read approximately 15-20 minutes per day from their library book or from a book that they may have at home for the duration of the home learning time.

Please contact me if your child experiences any problems/difficulties with these home learning assignments by replying to the e-mail that I sent to all parents on Friday Oct. 29th.

Important re: Home Learning

Parents,
Beginning on Monday November 1st, classes will go to HOME LEARNING.  HOME LEARNING will continue until schools reopen to students. We hope that isn't a long period of time.
Students have three subjects with Mr. Thompson: Art, Math and French.
Earlier this term, a home learning package was sent home with each student. It contains Math activities and  Art activities.  These activities include instructions and are quite straightforward. 
Beginning on Monday Nov. 1st and for the duration of HOME LEARNING, students will find daily assignments for French posted on my teacher page in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. These activities will include reading, writing, singing and speaking activities. Earlier this term, I presented a practice PowerPoint session so all students should be comfortable navigating the french lessons. Each french activity will indicate approximately how much time students should spend on the activity. It is very important that students complete all assignments to the best of their ability.
An e-mail was sent to each parent today to explain how to access the teacher page activities.  Please e-mail me with any questions that you have about the HOME LEARNING activities should your child experience problems.
Thanks!
P. Thompson
