Online Learning and Class Dojo

Hey everyone,

What a week it's been. Who would have thought this is how March Break would have turned out. I have sent emails to all students with information for parents on how to sign up to ClassDojo. That is where I will be posting any announcements or updates during the Online Learning section of our year. If you could please follow the instructions and sign up it will be much easier to contact each other during these times. I will also be reaching out by phone starting tomorrow to try and connect with all families.

As of now there is no mandatory work for students to do. If you child is bored or wants to stay in routine here are a few websites they can go to.

The student portal also has great websites for the students to use.

I am working on signing up for different accounts that offer free subscriptions while students are at home. Once I have those running I will share the class code via ClassDojo. I have also listed some activities the students can do for the extended classes I teach that do not involve technology.

Science- We will be starting to look at light and sound when we get back. Look around your house to find examples of light and sound. Write down what you think makes light and sound.
Art- Create a card for the other students in the class for when we get back.
Drama- Choose your favourite character from a book, tv show, movie, etc. Think about what questions you would ask them in an interview. Then get in character and answer them.
Gym- Go outside for a walk or play some sports outside. If stuck inside, spell out your name, a family members name, or any other words by using the actions in the picture below. You can also challenge a family member to guess what word you are spelling based on the actions you are doing.


As I stated earlier, all these ideas are optional and students WILL NOT be graded on them. They are just ideas related to the curriculum to keep them entertained.

I'm praying for all the students and families to remain safe and healthy and hope we can be back in our classroom following routine as usual soon!

March 9

This week is the last week of March Break so we have a busy week finishing up units. If your child is going on vacation early and missing school please write a note and let us know so we can prepare! Science- We're finishing our pulley and gear unit this week. Instead of a test the students will be creating a final project. This should start Wednesday. Health- We have started talking about Substance Abuse this week. We have been talking about tobacco use and how tobacco is created. We will also be finishing our Kindness Activity this week. Gym- The gym is closed at the beginning of the week but we will be finishing badminton by the end of the week. Art- We finished our drama presentations and are back to a week of art before March Break. We will be creating a project that will be displayed for Education Week. I hope everyone has a wonderful last week of class and a happy March Break!

February 3-7

We have another short week ahead. Here's a look at what the 4's will be working on.  Science- We have our pulleys quiz on Wednesday. Students all have been given review sheets last week. If they forget them or lose them there are also copies on Hapara. We have gone over in class how to access Hapara at home and there are instructions posted a few posts down (under Art Presentation tomorrow). We will then be talking about gears the rest of the week and how they are used in our lives. Gym- We have started a unit on badminton today. Students are excited to try a sport so different than the ones that we have been doing since I started. Health- We are continuing working on our kindness project and have started kindness posters. Each student drew the name of another student and must draw a picture of their favourite things and write a sentence about what they do that is kind. Art- We are starting to work on drama this week. Wednesday we will be playing a few games to g...
