TVS Grade 1 & 2 with Mrs. Gouin 

Hello Grade One and Grade Two Families,

Here is our learning plan for today!

Daily work booklets Wednesday page for Math and LA – (in the classroom we start our day with this foundational practice. I provide as much reading support and answer any questions needed for students to understand the concepts and then we go over them together as a class. Please encourage your child to be as independent as they can with these booklets daily and go over them together to make any corrections or clarify any misunderstandings).

Language Arts:
•Non – Fiction Writing – Go to Google classroom to watch a video of Mrs. Gouin reading about turtles and then write about them! (there is lined writing paper in your child’s writing folder). Encourage ‘kid writing’ i.e., Making sure that all the sounds are shown with letters that make sense. (writers also think about spaces between their words, using punctuation and upper- and lower-case letters, tidy printing, adding interesting details, and rereading their work to make sure it makes sense). If you are interested in sea turtles, you can watch this short National Geographic Kids video about how scientists study them!
•I have added a photo of our ‘No Excuses Words’ to the Parent Resources page above. Please go over your child’s writing with them to look for and fix spelling errors in these everyday words.
•After writing, listen, read, and complete the quiz for at least one book on Level Up on RAZ Kids
•Go to Google classroom for Mrs. Webb’s book of the day. (I will post this as soon as it is available).

Math:
•Story problem booklet – go to Google Classroom for a grade level teaching video about our problem-solving booklets. (The grade one video was filmed last spring and refers to the students having 2 booklets. We only have 1 right now – the video will otherwise apply). After watching, do a page or two in your booklets. Parents, if your child is finding the word problems challenging, get them to use their yellow base ten blocks to build the problem as they work through it.
•If the problem solving goes quickly and your child has the stamina, do some more work in your addition station or subtraction station duotangs.
•Go on Mathletics to complete the daily assigned tasks.

Music:
•Go to Google classroom to find the link to join Mr. Hibberd’s music class from 11:25-11:55 (I will post the recoding of this session once it is available).

Science:
Grade 1 – Complete the materials/fasteners sort in your package – we will review these concepts in our afternoon meeting.
Grade 2 – Watch this video on the parts of a sailboat and then label the sailboat picture in your package.

**For afternoon meetings today, please have your whiteboards with you – we will do some math review/practice in our grade level groups.

Thank you so much for your hard work and support of our learning. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns or need any assistance.
