We use these zones to describe how we are feeling. The zones help us to communicate how we are doing and help us to use strategies to get back to the ‘Green Zone’. We will keep discussing these zones over the coming days.
I always like to take the kids out for the first snowfall of the year, and yesterday was a great opportunity to make some shapes in the snow! We made mostly 2d shapes, but created some 3D shapes as well.
Hello to my dear students and families, I hope you are all staying healthy as we navigate this difficult time in our country, and across the globe. I, and my family, are well. We are keeping to ourselves, doing lots of arts and crafts and spending some time outdoors when we can. Starting on Monday, I will be posting a few activities each day that students can try at home. No obligation, but if you’re looking for something to do, I will stick some activities up here and you’re welcome to comment with your answers and ideas. My understanding is that the ministry of education will also be providing curriculum-based programming during school closures. I will update with any links to that, once they are published. Please continue to check the TDSB website for any updates as well. Wishing you all the best and very much hoping to see you April 6, Mrs. Page
Today, I introduced the students to the Prodigy Math Game. It has been recommended to me by several other teachers as a fun (and free!) way to keep math practise going at home. I am able to program the content of the questions for the students, so that it aligns with what we are focusing on at school. Please see your child's homework folder for login and password information. As this is my first time using the program, please do give me your feedback! Please note that I am not asking you to buy a membership to the program. You can still enjoy Prodigy without paying anything, as far as I can tell. I know the ads can be frustrating, but I think the kids will get used to closing them when they come up. I did test the program myself, but only got a glimpse of the possibilities. Thanks and enjoy! http://play.prodigygame.com
