------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, here are the answers for yesterday's Brain Teasers.
Welcome to our final week of school and our last Monday Blog! No more work jobs ... just funny videos and brain teasers! This week I want you to keep enjoying some favourite books, get lots of outside time, play some board games or card games and think about ways to be helpful and kind. 💛💚💜 It has been a long, crazy 13 weeks of Learning from Home and we should all be proud of ourselves for having a GROWTH MINDSET! Instead of thinking 'This is too hard' we tried to think 'This may take some time to figure out' - and WE DID IT! 😊👍 I'm so proud of you (and your parents!!) for figuring out how to Zoom, reading the Blog each day, doing your reading, finishing writing jobs and sending them to me, and just trying your best to keep learning at home! YOU ARE AWESOME! I know it hasn't been easy and I'm sad that we didn't get to do all the fun stuff we had planned after Spring Break, but we did what we needed to do to stay safe. Sometimes we have to do hard things and it'll be even MORE special when we can safely do lots of fun things again... hopefully before too long! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 Here's a cute video to start your week ... https://youtu.be/XgvR3y5JCXg

Beside each letter print at least one word (or MORE!) that starts with it. Remember... names of people and places need to begin with capitals!

I am so proud to be Canadian! 💓😊 Enjoy this fun little video to learn more about the Maple Leaf on our national flag!

Famous Canadians
Try to find the names of 10+ famous Canadians. Make a list and tell what each is famous for. You may need some help from your adult or Google, but that's okay!
Think of famous: athletes, actors, writers, singers, political figures, explorers, environmentalists, leaders, artists, musicians and any people who make (or have made) our country a better place!
