Level 2 - Suggested Activities
If you feel like you can tackle level two this week, here are some suggested activities.
* This work should take between 60 - 80 minutes per day.
* Please spread this work out over multiple days, or even spread it out over different times of the day if that works for you.
* If it is taking longer, and your child is stressed, please don’t push it. You judge what they can do.
*There is absolutely no pressure from us to complete everything (or anything!)*
If you did not finish last weeks suggested activities, please do those first.
This week's activities assume that you already have the skills from last week!
Reading
1. Please have your child read a “just-right” (book at their level) book
for 20 minutes each day.
2. Depending on your child they could read silently, or out loud to you
or someone else in your home.
3. Some time during the week have them write down one book they read
this week and tell us something they are wondering about the book.
Take a photo of this writing and email it to their teacher.

Writing
1. This week we will continue with the Social Studies/Writing project.
This project will involve you helping your child. Each week the pattern is
repeated with a different province or territory, so as your child
progresses they will need less of your help.
a. Watch the youtube video first S.S. - Lesson #2 - British Columbia
This is where Mrs. Marta talks about continuing this project.
b. Look at the link for the assignment
S.S. - British Columbia - Assignment and links for research
If you have access to a printer, please print the sheet out for your
child to fill in. If not, please just write it on a paper for them.
(I tried to keep it fairly basic)
c. If your child finishes this activity. Please take a photo of both sides
of the paper and email it to your child’s teacher
2. Encourage your child to continue writing to us. We love hearing about
what they are doing, their pets and a variety of interesting facts we are
discovering about them.
* Some students are writing emails to us, and others are writing on paper
and their parents are taking a photo of it and emailing it to us.
You do what works for you.
3. If your child still has time for creative writing, have them keep up with our
daily write. It is important that they pick their own topic to write about. We are
in the process of making a video of what to do if you are stuck and can't get writing!

Math
1. Finish one copy of the “All the Facts” math sheet we put in your packages.
*ONLY ONE - we included 12 sheets to cover multiple weeks! ONE PER WEEK!
Please mark this for your child. If they get it wrong circle it, and if the number is
reversed underline it. Then have them make the corrections.
This may seem easy for your child... this is a GOOD THING! These are all the
facts they need to know to do more difficult math. It is important to do this weekly
to keep the facts fresh in their heads.
2. We are reviewing the addition strategy of expanded form this week.
We have made a series of youtube videos of us teaching the strategy to help
you out.
Our thought was that they could do one video each day this week.
Keeping in mind there is no pressure from us to do any of this.
If you choose to do this activity please do the following:

This should be a review so most students will be fairly confident with this activity.
If your child is struggling, re-watch the videos, and provide them with your own
questions for more practice.

Physical and Social/Emotional Wellness
Please be kind to yourselves. If any of this is too much for you, just don’t do it.
There is no pressure from either of us.
Please choose from the activities below if you would like a fitness activity.
* Mr. Marta has filmed a fitness challenge this week. If you are up for a challenge,
watch this video, and workout with Mr. Marta Fitness Challenge #2
* Please look at the Physical Education links on the website.
If the fitness challenge isn’t for you, or you’ve already finished it, try some of the
other activities linked on this page.
* So many students are telling us about their walks and hikes when they write to us.
This is a terrific way to get some fresh air, be active, and get a change of scenery.
This could be your physical activity for the day!
At the end of the week have your child write down one physical activity they did
this week, and then a few details about it. Email it to their teacher.
** Example: This week I did my karate class online. We did kicks and punches.
My mom said that I was too loud!
