Learning From Home – Grade 1-2
April 13-17
Welcome to Week 2 of our learning from home. This week we are beginning our transition to Google Classroom as our main hub for learning. As we troubleshoot any potential access issues with Google Classroom we will continue to post our learning plans here as well. However, if you are able to access our Google Classroom, please go there to see your learning activities and ways to submit your work.
Date to Remember: Google Meet on Tuesday April 14 at 12:30
Reading: Please complete your assignment on Raz-Kids. After you have finished the reading and the quiz you can choose 1 of the worksheets to complete if you are able to print it out.
Please also make sure you are doing at least 15-20 minutes of reading every day. If you need some new books, please check out the Calgary Public Library for some great e-books or you can find books in the Raz-kids reading room or Level up! room.
Journals/FAF task: Each week I will give you a writing prompt for your journal. You can continue to write and draw in your black journal, just like we did at school.
Here is this week’s journal prompt:
Go on a walk outside. Remember to follow all physical distancing rules (2m) and rules for self-isolating*. Tell me about your walk using our 5W’s. Where did you go? Who did you go with? When did you go? What did you see? Why did you choose this walk? Try to tell me as many details as you can so that I can imagine your walk.
* If you are not able to go outside at this time you can choose another topic to write about. *
* If you are not able to go outside at this time you can choose another topic to write about. *
