Happy Mother’s Day to all
the wonderful, supportive moms of students in Room 11. I hope that you enjoyed
your special gift from your child. I had so much fun making it with them.
I have been away this week
and will be again next week. I have heard from Ms. McDonald that you guys had a
great week and that you worked super hard on all the tasks that I left. I am
super proud of you all! I have missed you guys so much and can’t wait to see
you again soon. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend on-line learning
this week. You will still get to send me your work on Friday. I look forward to
seeing all your awesome projects!
I will post the online learning for the week of May 10th-14th
here and in addition to the homework page. The weekly homework will be posted
as usual on the homework page. Adults- please read these important notes to
keep learning on track for the next two weeks:
1) Bean seeds should be
watered daily, or whenever the soil on top looks dry. They should start to
sprout within the next week and visible above the soil shortly after that. We
will be discussing them online, and completing a short journal about them every
couple days. Thank you for accepting these into your home for their science
learning.
2) Students have learned my
expectations for Google Meets, but for your reference:
a. your child should be at a desk, table, or
other hard surface, prepared with a sharpened pencil and their notebooks
b. they should be dressed for the day (not in
pyjamas) unless otherwise specified...
c. no digital backgrounds- they are
distracting for them and others
d. students should remain muted unless
invited to share (otherwise background noise may interfere with audio quality)
e. the first 5 minutes of every Google Meet
is a socializing period, for the class to catch up with one another and talk
freely
3) Homework can be
completed at any point during the week, but at-home assignments should only be
completed after they have been assigned during a Google Meet
4) All work can be sent via
e-mail at the end
of the week. Please send all the work in one e-mail to simplify
tracking of work on my end.
5) This can be a stressful
time for you, your child(ren), and others around you. Please take the time to
just play together and enjoy the extra time together.
