Hi Grade 1 families! I hope you enjoy some of the new activities this week for learning at home. EVERY Day, try and do the following:

Read for a minimum of 20 minutes (books, Raz Kids, Epic books, your own writing, Reading Eggs….just keep reading!) Write about something that interests you. It could be a poem, short story, song, essay, etc. Or you could keep a journal about what it is

like to learn at home and the experiences you have. Get moving for a minimum of 30 minutes! Go for a walk or a run. Dance. Shoot pucks. Ride a bike. Practice yoga. Just get moving!

Here are some additional activities that will help your child continue to learn. How many of the following activities can they do? Highlight or cross off the activities they do to track their progress. Try to do least one per day.

Sky observations. Draw or write everything you see in the sky when you wake up, at lunch time, after dinner and when it is dark at night if your parents will let you stay up late. What do you notice changes? What stays the same?
