First Day of April (aka April Fools' Day....did you trick someone with a prank?).

Happy April Everyone!

Thanks to those of you who did the tasks from yesterday.  No joke!  I looked at the jokes and shared them with my family.  They laughed a lot and groaned a little.  A joke is always a wonderful way to start the day.  Also, thank you for your Spring Acrostic poems.  I have looked at them and I am impressed with your writing (you still got it)!

I did notice that some of our friends haven't had the chance to share yet.  If you are chatting or gaming with them, can you please remind them to check our blog for some learning opportunities?

As promised....here is my read aloud, thanks to Houghton Mifflin Company Boston!  Did you correctly guess the animal that book was about?  If you guessed, SLOTHS, you were right.  :)

Score One for the Sloths

1. Thank you for listening!  It seems a little strange to read to a camera and not you guys. At least this is an alternate way to continue our learning together.  Now, I want you to think about the sloths in their PJs and their typical day of learning.  Is it the same or different than your typical day?  I bet a little of both!  Please click here for your after reading task.  You might want to get some crayons, a pencil, eraser and possibly print out this page (give your eyes a break from screens)!  Try to finish this in about an hour.  If you focus, that should be about the right amount of time.  You could even do a 1/2 hour and then have a little break and then continue for another half hour until you are done.  BE SURE TO SAVE THIS ARTWORK WHEN YOU ARE DONE, YOU NEED IT FOR TOMORROW! 

2. When you are finished you can upload to Google Docs or take a photo, then upload it or even email it to Mrs. Ross at kaross@cbe.ab.ca.  Here's the link where you can put your finished work  (click this link).  I can't wait to see what your day is looking like these days!  You could even keep this for a time capsule about these strange days lately!  BE SURE TO SAVE THIS ARTWORK WHEN YOU ARE DONE, YOU NEED IT FOR TOMORROW!
