Today's Updates...

• Wow!  Kindness Pod - you made our hearts swell with pride at the gifts you wanted to give the world in yesterday's responses.  Thank you for your thoughtfulness!
• Blogs will continue to be used for daily connecting.  We are discontinuing having students comment directly on the blog because this strategy wasn't working for all.   
• If your child was unable to comment in the blog, to ensure this is not a password issue, please ask your child to try and log into IRIS (they should know how to do this) via this link:  https://iris.cbe.ab.ca 

To Do's For Today...

• Watch the story at the following link: https://youtu.be/79LIoCPjbRo.
• We have been working on expanding sentences and supporting our thoughts with examples.  To continue practicing sentence writing, answer at least 2 of the questions below.  Responses should be emailed to your teacher rather than in the blog as mentioned in the video.
• Where are you finding peace at this time?  
• What activities are you doing to find peace at this time?  
• What does peace look, feel, sound, smell like at this time? 
• Please check out Mr. Der's blog here for a P.E. activity: https://ehsphysicaleducation.blogspot.com/  
• Please check out Ms. Coulsen's link here: https://youtu.be/ZaRYBlv1o64.

Feeling bored (additional activities if you choose)...

• We suggested you could draw or create a visual representation of what peace means to you right now.  Get creative in your visual journal by using pencil crayons, markers, magazines to show, 'What is peace to you right now at this moment?'
• You could have a game of 'Circles and Stars' with a family member or on your own.  Remember the first roll of the die is your number of groups and the second, the number of stars in each group.  Can you write a repeated addition and multiplication equation?
• Bring virtual reality animals into your home with a phone or tablet!!  Follow these instructions to learn how:  https://9to5google.com/2020/03/30/google-3d-animals-tiger-trend-coronavirus/
