Thursday April 2nd


Good day to all of you Joy Pod. It is a frigid April 2nd, but I hope you will bundle up today and make your way outside for play time or just for a walk. Despite the cold the birds are still chirping in my neighbourhood. I heard a rumour that there are a few robins who have returned! I wonder if they're regretting traveling this far north?? Please see our daily message below. 



Here is our read aloud for today. The assignment is written below. Enjoy!

ASSIGNMENT

You are to write a letter or email. The letter will be written to a nurse, doctor, caretaker, grocery store work, or whoever is still working with a lot of people. This may even be your mom or dad or aunt or uncle. These jobs are challenging during this time, so we want to thank them for their kindness and hard work.

Your work can be a written letter (just take a picture when you are done and email it to your responsibility teacher) or you can write it as an email through your google email (Gmail). The steps to writing an email are below:

1. Go to Gmail
2. Sign in using your @educbe.ca account
3. Click on the compose button ( + )
4. Type your responsibility teachers email address. It should come up when you start typing; if not then it is their CBE email name and then end it with @educbe.ca.  
5. Make your subject 'Thank You'
6. Write your letter
7. Send it to your teacher
