We have made it to the end of another school week Division 9.  We have all been distanced from one another for 4 weeks now.  Yet, we continue to be in this together.

I want you to know how thankful I am for the work you have been doing with your families.  I understand that it has most likely been a challenge to find space, time and energy to move through all of the emails, blog posts, activities and new technology for your entire family.

Our families are very diverse with a variety of dynamic situations going on in the home at this time.  It is just like our classroom where we have diverse needs and dynamic learning journey experiences.  Just as I have to respect the variety of individuals that you all represent in my class, I have to respect those same unique qualities while you are at home.

Therefore, next week, use the Shape of the Week as a guide of opportunities for you to engage in and explore.  Choose 1 activity/assignment to share with me or do them all.  Wherever your learning journey takes you, go with it.  Some of you are participating in the most creative and rewarding educational experiences and extensions of your learning with your parents and siblings as your guide.  As I mentioned, we are in this together and I appreciate the team that we have!

If you have not yet sent me a picture or statement about the Clinton Heart Project, please do today if you would like it added to an album that I may be able to share so that we can have our own Division 9 Neighbourhood Walk.  Please try to access the READ WORKS program, even if you just attempt 1 question, so that I know you have been able to access the program.  On Tuesday, I will clarify about READ WORKS so you can all move through it in a way that best suits you and your learning.  The Shape of the Week will be posted on a page at the top of the BLOG.

Now for Think About it Thursday…what do you think about this?
