Posted: June 8, 2020
This is the last week that I will be posting home learning for the 2019-2020 school year.
I hope everyone has a relaxing and fun summer. I know it will be a different one as was our school year because of the COVID 19 pandemic, but I know you will find ways to make great memories. Get out and enjoy the sunny days and relax inside on the rainy days. Try to find some time to read, practice some math skills and freshen up on your writing in creative ways.
I will be talking to you later this week.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in September!

Home Learning Suggestions
Reading- Try your best to read every day! I know I’m going to.
Tip: What can I read? Picture books, chapter books, articles from the newspaper, cartoons, riddles, poems, magazines, cereal boxes, signs, posters, fiction, non-fiction… the possibilities are endless.

Compound Words-
Compound words are formed when two or more words are joined together to create a new word that has an entirely new meaning. For example, “beach” and “ball” are two different words, but when fused together, they form another word, Beachball.

Be a detective. When you are reading stories try to find some compound words.
Writing-
Refer to the many suggestions I gave you over the past few months.
I will be sending a ‘Grade One Memory Book’ home with your report card.
Have fun completing this book.
Math-
Let’s start with a cute mystery picture to solve.
