Dia dhaoibh! Tá súil agam go bhfuil gach duine go maith agus gur bhain sibh taitneamh as an aimsir álainn. Léigh mé seo i rith na seachtaine:

‘Working, parenting,and teaching are three different jobs that cannot be done at the same time. It’s not hard because you’re doing it wrong. It’s hard because it’s too much. Do the best you can’  Emily W King Ph.D, Child Psychologist.

Mar sin, ní feidir linn ach ár ndícheall a dhéanamh. Bain súp as an dea-aimsir freisin!

Beidh ‘scoil’ ar TG4 dóibh siúd atá ag freastal ar scoil sa Ghaeltacht nó ar Ghaelscoil. Cúla4 ar Scoil  an t-ainm atá ar an gclár agus beidh sé ag tosnú ar an Luan ar a 10 a chlog ar maidin

Má tá deacracht ag éinne leis an Taisceadán Todhcaí a oscailt, cuirfidh mé chugaibh i bhfoirm PDF é.

Obair bhaile : Luan go Aoine

• Spellbound: Week 31. Words containing –ick and –ock. At the end of the list are two words beginning with nu-.
• Work It Out: Week 29
• Seaimpín na dTablaí: Seachtain a 29
• Bunlitriú: Téigh ar ais chuig Seachtain a 1 agus Seachtain a 2. Má tá tú ag scríobh abairtí, scríobh 3 abairt gach lá.
• Gafa Le Mata: lch 134, 135: Airgead. The first page is based on calculating the change from €2. It would be great if you could put the appropriate coins in front of the pupil. S/he would put aside the money due to the siopadóir and count the remainder. I’m not a big fan of asking the child to subtract the money formally in order to calculate the change. I think it is better grounding to ‘count on’ from what is due to the siopadóir.  Lch 135 is a ‘shopping’ activity. Again, start with the appropriate amount of money for the two items and count aloud. Writing the answer reinforces the idea that only € or c is used – not the two together. It’s been weeks since we used coins but we will again someday!
• Mata praiticiúil: If there’s a catalogue from Aldi or Lidl in the house, compose two shopping lists – My List, Daddy’s List, List for dinner etc. Comput the cost of the shopping. One other activity I would like to try is to take 10 random packets from the kitchen. Pricew each one unevenly i.e. 37c, 73c not  20c! Make shopping lists of three items at a time and compute the cost.
• Bill’s New Frock: Read chapters 3 and 4 and answer these questions

Chapter 3	What lesson was it after Art? What did they find that was all pink? What left a thick pink slug trail? What did the class complain about? Why was Bill “spoiling people’s paintings”?
Chapter 4	Why did everyone looked up enviously at Bill? What favour did Bill do for the headmaster? What was Bill’s problem with pockets? What happened when Bill tried to walk down the corridor towards the office? What happened when Mrs Bandaraina said “sweet little frock”?

• Cad É Sin? : léigh go dtí lch a 16 agus freagair na ceisteanna thíos:
• Cad is ainm don leipreachán?

• School Hub: RTÉ hope to let us know in advance what will be on the Hub so that we can ‘tie in’ with the work so I hope matters will be more streamlined next week. They also do a Homeschool Hub Podcast which supports the programmes and the extra afternoon material and finish with a quiz on Fridays. If you can’t find it I‘ll send you the addresses.

• Comaoineach: ‘Man proposes and God disposes’ is an old saying. Little did I think this was how we would be spending the week of the Céad Chomaoineach! However, we shall be prepared when the time comes. This week:
