A special weekend…

May 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Good afternoon, Lovelies!

This weekend coming up will be more than just sunny! 😉 It is a special Sunday to say thank you and give a hug to special people in your life that love you and keep you going. It might be your mom or grandma or aunt or sister or good friend and they deserve some special recognition. Below you will find a few ideas for some homemade gifts and cards. ♥ Everything can be made with paper, scissors and some markers or pencil crayons…have fun and make someone’s day!!

You could use your special person’s name and make them some art to display or put it on the front of a card…

 

Or maybe you’ve all been reading a lot more with the extra time at home we have and could gift a book mark…you could make it into whatever you’d like!

 

 

Or you could try a fun, folding surprise card… 🙂

 

 

I will be sharing some beautiful work from Div. 2 tomorrow, but wanted to get you started on some surprises for Sunday!♥

Happy crafting,

Mrs. H.

Wonder Wednesday!

May 6, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Good Morning!

I’ve been thinking a lot about our Story Studio space in the Library that was the cause of much wondering as it grew near our story area. It’s been a while, so here are some pictures to jog your memory. 🙂

 

This week, Division 9 is focusing on creating stories like we started in the Library before Spring Break. We started with what we wondered about and here are some of Mrs. Elchelmaier’s students’ creations. Thank you to  Zahra, Clare, Anna and Linnea. 🙂

 

 

It was such fun to work with them!

Ashlyn from div. 9 has already created and submitted her story and I can’t wait to share more with you next week to inspire you to make your own stories.  Oliver, from Mrs. Wilson’s K class has made a story on Toontastic app. Check back next week to see their creations and be inspired!

Next week, we will talk about how we can make our own story studio at home and everyone can take part. A read aloud will inspire you on Monday, we can talk about how to create at home on Tuesday and then think about how to share our stories on Wednesday. I can hardly wait!

If you’re waiting for story studio and wondering about wondering, check out Canadian author Mary Louise Gay and her book Any Questions that we have in our Clinton library.

 

 

Until tomorrow!

Mrs. Hossack 🙂

The Great Realisation

May 5, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Good Morning, Lovelies…

Many of you may have seen this “bedtime story” already, as it has been shared over many platforms by all kinds of people.  Even many of the staff at Clinton have been talking about it. 🙂 Now we’d like to know what YOU think!

Watch the video (again if you’ve already seen it) and below are some ideas you could use to respond to the story…or make up your own!

  1. Tell us what your first response is…did you like it or not?
  2. What personal connections did you make? How did the story make you feel?
  3. Which words painted a picture in your mind? Care to share your art if it moved you to create? 🙂
  4. Describe how you felt after listening to this story in one or two WORDS. Big, juicy words.

Feel free to comment below, email me or a teacher, chat with your family about it, share it around and ask others’ opinions if they haven’t seen it…so many possibilities!

ENJOY!

Mrs. H.

 

May the Fourth Be With You!

May 4, 2020 / / 2 Comments

If Star Wars’ Yoda was here with us, what do you think he would say about the times we’re living in?

“Difficult to see…always in motion is the future.”

Or maybe “Mind what you have learned. Save you it can.”

“Patience you must have.” is a good one.

Or perhaps one of my favourites…”Truly wonderful, the mind of a child is.”

 

Yoda is wise and also very interesting…did you know…

  • Yoda has no determined species…a mystery, it is. 🙂
  • Depending on what movie you’re watching, Yoda has a different number of toes! Sometimes 4 and sometimes only 3.
  • Yoda is 66 cm tall and weighs 17kg.
  • “Baby Yoda” in The Mandalorian is just the same species as Yoda, not Yoda as a baby. Baby Yoda is only 50 years old and Yoda lived to be 900!
  • There is a species of underwater acorn worm named after Yoda called Yoda purpurata.

 

And now to try your hand at making Origami Yoda! All you need is a piece of paper that you make into a square…no need for special origami paper.

 

May the fourth be strong in you…

Mrs. H.

 

Please see below for the answers to Friday’s Math riddles…

  1. If you multiply me by any other number, the answer will always remain the same. Who am I? Answer: 0
  2. You are given 3 positive numbers. You can add these numbers and multiply them together. The result you get will be the same. What are the numbers?  Answer: 1,2,3
  3. Using only addition, how can you use eight eights to get the number 1,000? Answer: 888  + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000
  4. A clerk at the butcher shop is 6 feet tall and has size 10 feet. What does he weigh? Answer: MEAT!!
  5. Add the number to the number itself and then multiply by 4. Again divide the number by 8 and you will get the same number once more. Which is that number? Answer: Any number! 🙂

Hello!

I have had more students pass on their ‘OK’ work and wanted to share them with you all! Notice how Kailey went with Tom Lichtenheld and used the  OK character and Celina used the word OKAY to be the nose, eyes and mouth of her character. Great interpretations! Thank you for sharing. 🙂

 

OK by Celina, Div 2

Friday Math Fun

May 1, 2020 / / 4 Comments

Whenever I think about Clinton and Math, the first thing that comes to mind is Mrs. Enchelmaier’s Math Superheroes that parade through the library to show me their awesome costumes! I miss you all coming into the library to get a book, use the computers, build a robot, work on your group projects, record a story, do leap frog races (Mila!), show me the latest version of the graphic novel you’re writing, recommend a book, code some Spheros, check your Battle of the Books teams, share a story studio story…  In short, just wanted to tell you I miss YOU!

Now for some Math fun… 🙂

Let’s start slowly with some Math riddles…feel free to answer in the comments below. I will post answers on Monday!

  1. If you multiply me by any other number, the answer will always remain the same. Who am I?
  2. You are given 3 positive numbers. You can add these numbers and multiply them together. The result you get will be the same. What are the numbers?
  3. Using only addition, how can you use eight eights to get the number 1,000?
  4. A clerk at the butcher shop is 6 feet tall and has size 10 feet. What does he weigh?
  5. Add the number to the number itself and then multiply by 4. Again divide the number by 8 and you will get the same number once more. Which is that number?

Now to amaze and astound your friends and family members…

Finding Someone’s Age – Number Trick

  • Ask the person to multiply the first number of his or her age by 5.
  • Tell them to add 3.
  • Now tell them to double this figure.
  • Finally, have the person add the second number of his or her age to the figure and ave them tell you their answer.
  • Deduct 6 and you will have their age!

 

And finally, have you ever wondered how there’s only one matching picture for each set of SPOT IT cards?? I have! Here’s the Math behind it… 🙂 It requires some thought, but once you understand how the game is designed, you can make your own!

 

 

Happy Weekend, Lovelies!

Mrs. H.
