Remembrance Day- is this Thursday November 11- no home learning/school. Take the time to explain to your child about the importance of remembering- maybe visit a Remembrance Day ceremony in person, virtually or watch a service on TV. These books will help, in a child-friendly way, to explain the significance of why we wear a poppy.

A Poppy is to Remember 

Art – Make your own poppy. 

Draw 4 large circles and 1 small circle. Color the 4 large circles red and the small circle black. Cut out the circles and glue or tape them together to make your own paper poppy. You can put this poppy in your window or on your fridge to show you remember. See the pictures in the gallery. 

Writing – Remembrance Day is about remembering the sacrifices made by many so that we could have peace. What does it mean to have peace? Peace means a time without fights or war, a time of calm and quiet. A fun writing or discussion you can have with your family is creating a Recipe for Peace. What would you add to your recipe? See the example from the website mrsbteachesme.com.

Letter Gg Hunt – Go on a Gg hunt in your house. Where can you find the letter Gg in your house? Try looking at in books, food labels (cereal boxes), etc. 

Math 

This week we are learning about subitizing. Subitizing is the ability to instantly recognize, without counting, “how many” in a small set (dots on a dice).  

Another way to practice subitizing is using your fingers. With a partner, take turns holding up different arrangements representing numbers. See how quickly you can identify how many fingers without counting.

Fine Motor: Practice making letter g and the numeral 5 

If you are able to, put a thin layer of salt, sugar or sand on a plate. Practice proper formation for the letter g and numeral 5. To make a lowercase g, start like a c and go up and then down with a hook. Remember to make the numeral 5 correctly – neck, belly, flat hat 

Website: If you have the opportunity, check out squigglepark.com, a literacy program where students can have fun learning and practicing letter names, sounds and more! Class code and student codes were emailed yesterday. Click on Student Play and then enter class code, select student name and enter student code.
