​Curriculum Continuation​ for Flood Days
by  erin.jonesNo presence information  on 5/8/2018 12:02 PM
Dear Husky Families, 
It is with my upmost concern that you are all safe, well, and dry!  Please do not feel obligated to carry out the below curriculum suggestions in a time of distress.  I am writing the proposed  learning suggestions in the best interest of your child to ensure that learning can continue at home due to our current school closure.  Your son or daughter is invited to complete the following learning tasks in the event that school continues to remain closed.  Or, if they are simply looking for something to do today the below assignments can be completed and turned into me when our school is reopened.  Please feel free to email me your thoughts, questions, or concerns at erin.jones@nbed.nb.ca

Literacy
Read to Self for 20 minutes
After the reading is completed, students can write a summary about what they read and make an inference on the textual evidence  (if applicable) on what that think might happen next.  Students are invited to read between the lines and state what they think might happen next.  For example: Based on what I read, I think that..... because (evidence to support thinking from the text)

Read to Someone for 15 minutes
Students should stop and check for understanding by explaining who and what they read about

Students are invited to notice the use of dialogue in their reading and read as if they are a character speaking in the book.

Social Studies
Personal Timelines went home with students on Thursday.  Students were asked to gather the necessary information to complete the timeline and bring those items and facts to school.  All directions and information are on the assignment sheet and students are invited to complete their personalized timelines at home and come to school prepared to present their work to the class.  I am looking forward to hearing about your most valuable memories to date.  

Science
Plan and Perform
Students can do test trails to see if the height of a ramp will affect the speed of an object

Students will need a ramp and a dinky car or an object to slide down the ramp.

Step 1-students should write out their question.
Will the height of the ramp affect the speed of the dinky car?
Step 2- make a prediction/hypothesis
I think that ....... because.....
Step 3- gather materials
Step 4- Conduct the experiment
Step 5- record results
Students should time and record their results on paper.  Each trail should be completed at the same height at least three times fro a fair trail.  I invite students to try three different heights with their ramp.  Students must use the SAME ramp for all test trails.
Step 6- talk about results
Step 7- conclusion
Students must state if their prediction/hypothesis was right or wrong.

Analyze and Explain
​Students can put their data into a bar graph to show results.
Also, students are asked to identify their independent​ and dependent variable in their experiment.
