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 blog to support your learning until we have gathered everyones information. I have also updated an assignment on Prodigy to help you with Math. 

For writing you could start doing a writing plan, a mind map may be a good strategy, about what the last 3 weeks have been like. What have you been doing? What games have you been playing? What movies have you been watching? This will help you with tomorrows writing assignment.

April 14 - 17th Math

Hello, This week for Math we will be using Prodigy  prodigygame . Prodigy is a Maths game where students answer math questions in order to cast spells and collect points. I have assigned questions related to Math concepts that we have covered in class. Once those questions have been answered the program chooses appropriate additional questions based on the students ability level. It is important not to give too much support when students are answering the questions otherwise the program will continue to give out even more challenging questions.  How to help If you notice that they are having trouble with a questions, let them answer but then show them on a piece of paper either what the question is asking or how you might solve the problem. Also near the top of the question there is a prompt button that will give a clue and some math tools such as pens and 100 charts that can also support them. To prepare for next week please practice Multiplication facts wi...

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.
