Entry for Friday, May 22
Today in History
On this day in history, May 22, 1967, Mister Rogers Neighborhood premiered on PBS.
You already know that Mister Rogers is a hero to Mr. Hamer!
He would receive mail and talk to children in a way that reached their hearts.
The great thing about Mister Rogers is that he never shied away from covering issues that were relevant at the time...even difficult issues such as that of divorce, moving to a new home and even death in the family.
Mister Rogers encouraged his viewers to not be afraid to explore their imaginations and to love and respect all forms of life. The great actor, Tom Hanks, played Mister Rogers in the film "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."

More Fables
The first fable we will read today is called
"The Crow and the Pitcher."
Click on the links below to see two versions of the fable as a read-aloud.
Fable called "The Thirsty Crow"

Fable called "The Crow and the Pitcher"

Sometimes when you read different versions of the same fable you may get slightly different morals at the end...but they typically mean the same.
The moral of "The Crow and the Pitcher" could be "Where there is a will, there is a way." This means that if you have the will to do something, you won't give up...you'll figure out a way to succeed.
Another moral could be "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again." The crow did not succeed at first. He tried and tried until he came up with the idea to use the tiny pebbles to help raise the water. Even then, he had to persevere quite a lot in order to keep flying over to the pebbles and carrying them back to the pitcher!
This is a peculiar fable in that it has no animals in it!
Follow along to these read alouds of the fable!
Fable called "The Sun and the Wind"

Fable called "The North Wind and the Sun."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYCrXmvY5iA
The moral of this fable is that "gentle persuasion is stronger than force." If you want something, ask politely...don't demand it and you may just get what you want!
Prefixes
Prefixes are letters placed in front of a word that change the meaning of the word to usually the opposite of what the word means.
In the fable "The Sun and the Wind", the sun was successful but the wind was unsuccessful. Placing "un" in front of the word changes the meaning of the word to being "not" what it is supposed to mean.
successful - Yes I did it!
unsuccessful - No I couldn't do it!
The man did up his coat before going outside for his walk.
The man undid his coat only when the sun began to shine.
did - He did up his coat.
undid - He undid his coat.
In the fable "The Crow and the Pitcher" the crow was unhappy at first because he was so thirsty. Later on, he was happy because he was finally able to get a drink!
happy - He got a drink.
unhappy - He was so thirsty at first.
Some Prefixes meaning "not"
un, in, im, non, dis
Your Language Task
Make sentences with these pairings of words.
Example:
Prefixes
sure, unsure
I am sure I left my keys on the kitchen table.
I am unsure as to where I left my keys.
Print the title "Prefixes" at the top of your activity.
Here are your word pairs to use in sentences.
You will print six sentences in all.
Math Learning
Money
Your Math Task
Draw the coins in each row taking care to print the proper value in each coin. For the loonie and toonie you could print a large "1" and "2' inside your circles for those larger coins so they don't get confused with the other coins.
Let's try the top row.
One toonie + one loonie = one dime
$2 + $1 + 10 cents
=$3 and 10 cents
=$3.10
Easy!
You copy the first one and do the rest.
(All you need to do is simply draw the row of coins and place the total value up top!)
Do the exact same for this sheet!
(Check out the fifth row...be careful...there are four quarters there!) Hehehe!

We have some more great looking work being submitted by Mr. Hamer's awesome students! Wow! Great use of the real quarters to solve these money questions!
(Remember, you can click on the picture to make it larger!)
(Click outside the picture to go back to the regular look of the page.)
Great accounting!
Mme Pepe will love the French above and Mr. Hamer loves the money math!
You know a lot about fables, for sure!
Lovely French work as well!
Thank you for sending these five photos, C.C.
Wow! Another student's version of our money sheet!
So well done! We know the entire sheet is quarters and we know the coins are all the same size. Way to go!
Yes, fables are all of these!
Love this sheet! Can you spot the amount that is actually five cents more in coins than the amount given. Great work!
Wonderful use of the two words to be placed in a single sentence. Thanks for these five pictures, A.D.
We value the month of May as it brings out the flowers in our flower beds. I guess you could call this a "Month of May" prayer! Have a beautiful May day and please do enjoy your weekend! All the best, Mr. Hamer OCT

Money
In Grade Two we only have to learn the value of money to one dollar, but I am challenging you today to try and complete these two activities to see if you can find the total amounts of these rows of coins that go beyond a single dollar in value!
Draw the coins in each row taking care to print the proper value in each coin. For the loonie and toonie you could print a large "1" and "2' inside your circles for those larger coins so they don't get confused with the other coins.
Let's try the top row.
