Friday, April 17th
Happy Friday! And more importantly, Happy Birthday Daniella! We wish you a wonderful day and an even better year. :)
Here's a couple jokes from Thea to start your day! Why did the hyenas win the fight? Because they ‘spotted’ everyone before it started! Why did it take forever for the dog to cross the road? Because it had to ‘paws’ with every step! |
A Closer Look at Friday:
Wellbeing & Connection:
First, open your workbook and set up your page. The title can be "Journal".
Next, check in with yourself. How are you feeling today? Draw the emoji that matches your mood.
Third, choose one section of the page to that you haven't done yet: Self-Care Tip, Think About It, Character Trait of the Day, or you can choose to draw a picture of someone being helpful. Rainbow Breaths is an exercise you can do every day, as often as you like-no writing necessary! 😊
Four, get to it!
Are you getting the hang of this now? We want to keep it consistent so you can get used to the activity and don't have to spend a lot of time figuring it out each day.

Math:
Today we'd like you to connect with a friend in our class (if you can-if not a parent or sibling is just fine!) and play a math game over the phone. You'll be working on your basic math facts because we need to know these like the back of our hands! You'll both need a deck of cards. You may want paper and a pencil too (or your whiteboards). Here's how it'll work:
First, decide together if you're doing addition or subtraction.
Second, agree what Kings, Queens and Jacks are worth (I like to write this down).
How to play:
Take turns flipping over two cards. On my turn I flip over two cards. If I get an 8 and a 3 then I ask my partner this question: what's 8+3? Once they answer correctly, switch. If you want to keep score, go for it! It's up to you and your partner.
Have fun!
