April 14 - April 17 Reading

Hello Families,

 I forgot to include in the email that the class user name is mrpressey2020

 For this week, please log into Raz-kids and support your learner in reading for 30 minutes a day.

 When reading on Raz-kids with your learner

 1) Choose a book together

  • The level has been preset, please make sure that the book your child is reading is appropriate for them.
2) The books can be listened to
  • Raz-kids' books can be listened to but also encourage your child to read the books either to themselves or out loud to your.
  • Sit in a comfortable position.
  • When listening to a book headphones can help with focus and to minimize noise.
3) When learners read their books out loud to an adult
  • Listen to your child read some, half, most, or all of the book to you.
  • Offer support for figuring out unknown words but also let them try their decoding skills first.
  • Discuss the book and make connections.
4) Learners take the tests
  • Watch your learner take the tests.
  • Help clarify the questions and explain misconceptions at the end.
Reading should be enjoyable, enjoy the conversations with your child. 

Remember the kind of questions that can be asked following reading are the same kinds of questions that can help children better understand shows, movies and the world. 

Please email me if you have any questions about Raz-kids.


 Also, Students can access/sign out e-books at the Calgary Public Library using their CBE username and the password 1234567.

Good morning everyone, I am still in the process of calling everyone and letting you know your new Razkids' login and making sure that you are able to get onto Google Classroom. For the students that I have not called yet, you can go to your gmail and use the link that I sent you to join our Google Classroom. It has been great talking to you. It should be nice today so get out and enjoy a walk to the sunshine.

April 16

Good morning everyone, I just wanted to remind everyone that we are having our first Google Meet tomorrow at 11 am. If you have not been able to log onto Google Classroom please contact me and I will try to help out however I can. To get onto Google Classroom log onto your student email in the same way that you would get onto Google Docs at school. I should have sent you a class invite. Remember this week we are using Raz Kids for Reading and Prodigy for Math and it would be wonderful if you were practicing your multiplication facts. Grade 3's need to know up to 5 x 5 and the grade 4's need to know up to 7 x 7. We will be using these skills next week when we begin using Google Classroom. Have a great day.

Welcome Back April 6th 2020

Hi everyone, I hope that everybody had a wonderful break. I know that it was not as social as we would have wanted and the weather has not quite met my expectations of spring yet. But we are back! Over the next couple of days I will be contacting each of you to find out how your break has been and how your family is handling the new situation. I will also be asking you other questions: is anything that we can help you or your family with? can we help you get in contact with any community supports? what kind of computer access do you have? do you need paper learning packages? do you know your student email and log in information? do you need your passwords reset? do you need help getting onto D2L/ Google Classroom? is your guardian receiving emails? Once we have all of this information we will be in a much better position to help you learn from home. Thanks to the people who were checking the blog over the break.  For today I will be adding things to the...
