TVS Grade 1 & 2 with Mrs. Gouin 

Hello Grade One and Grade Two Families,

Here is our learning plan for today!

Daily work booklets Tuesday 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:
•Writer’s Workshop – students write about any topic of their choice and add an illustration with labels (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).
•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:
•Go to Google classroom to watch Mrs. Gouin’s grade level math video for the day (feel free to watch both grades any time you’d like)😊
•Continue working on your addition station, subtraction station, and problem-solving booklets. Students should complete at least one page from each daily and are encouraged to do more if they can. Aim for about 30 minutes of pencil/paper math work each day, either in one sitting or split up over 2 15-minute sessions (students are all at different places in these booklets and will work at significantly varying paces and some pages are easier or harder than others. If your child has a solid grasp on the concept they are working on and completes their pages very quickly, they should do a bit more. Likewise, if they are at a particularly challenging page, they may not complete it in one sitting. Please use your best judgement around what makes sense for your child and let me know if you have any questions).
•Go on Mathletics to complete the 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 – Go to Google Classroom to hear Mrs. Gouin read the book Cross a Bridge. Then if you didn’t build a bridge on Monday, give it a try today using anything you have around the house (if you did build a bridge on Monday, can you make improvements to it to make it more stable and/or better able to support weight?)
Grade 2 – Go to Google Classroom to listen to Mrs. Gouin read about different types of boats. Then fill in the Types of Boats page in your package with a drawing and information about 4 of the boats. You can also read the pages Mrs. Gouin uses on your own here.

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.
