Continued Work on Structure! Update Nov. 16th

Hello Everyone!

Thank you to Emily’s Dad Mark, who came in today to share his expertise with students about civil engineering and bridges! We learned about the forces and loads involved in creating bridges, and we toured some bridge pictures from around the Lower Mainland and British Columbia. Thank you for sharing with us!

Today, we learned how to access Google Drive using our user IDs and passwords. Please remember as you use this valuable tool:

  • Protect your user ID and password; do not share it.
  • Do not use the sharing options in Google apps or chat rooms to talk with other students.
  • Remember that your Google Account is a School District account. Don’t put anything in it that is inappropriate, that you wouldn’t want seen by Ms. D,  your parents, or the principal.
  • If you change the icon for your name in Google’s settings, please do not use your own picture for privacy reasons.
  • When submitting documents to Ms. D, use her school google account which I gave you today. Wait to submit until I give you a link to do so in Google Forms.
  • Be responsible with the tool. It is a privilege, not a right.

In LA, we finished our “20 interesting sentences,” but if you did not finish and turn it in, please get it in tomorrow morning. I also checked who had completed our Skeleton parts worksheet, and if you did not have yours done today, please finish. A number of people are missing their Personal Space activity, which was due yesterday.

In Math, we finished marking packet 3, and I worked in small groups with some students for independent math. Our quiz on Applied Math packet 2 has been moved to Monday due to other events tomorrow.

We worked on understanding Skeleton function, how bones heal, and the structure and function of the eye, using two resources. Please take some time to read them at home.  How Bones Heal and Kids Health: Bones. The Kids Health website is a great, kid-appropriate place to visit for any personal body questions that you have, as well.

Our Science Games team has been chosen for the March Science Games. This was done by lottery, per the organization running the event. All other teams have been put on the wait list. Students who were chosen have received communication about next steps.

Tomorrow is LIBRARY, STACKING CUPS, MUSIC, and our CARIBOU TEST. What a busy day!

Have a good evening,

Ms. D
