Month: May 2020

Hello everyone!

We have a class meeting at 2:00PM today. Hope to see you there!

For social studies, you will be learning about a couple of different sources of energy. There are 9 sources to choose from, but you only have to pick and read about 2 of them. Please watch the tutorial video on Teams where I teach you where to find the articles to read.

For math, both grades have 1 lesson. Both lessons will be the last one before your mini-project on Tuesday! Please reflect and ask yourself the following question: Are there any topics that I am not that familiar with? If so, then take some time and re-visit the lesson and do a couple of questions to help you refresh your understanding of the topic!

Math 4:

• P.19 Congruent Figures. Click here for video lesson.

Math 5:

• X.6 Congruent Figures. Click here for video lesson.

Continue to practice typing and your French if you are finished early! Make sure to also continue reading! EpicBooks is a great resource!

Tomorrow is a Pro-D day and Monday is a holiday. Make sure you get lots of rest and have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday everybody! It was great to see many of you yesterday as we did our Kahoot during our class meeting! Thank you to all of you for joining the game. To those who weren’t able to play, thank you for being a good audience and for your patience as we trouble shoot.

Congratulations to our winners of our Kahoot!

Here are your learning opportunities for today. Today will be more of a maintenance day… a catch-up day so all of us can catch up and fully enjoy this weekend and all your activities planned (wink face).

For your journal, you will be writing about your plans for the weekend. Please make sure to read the assignment expectations carefully! Remember that you are soon moving onto grade 5/6!

At around 11:00AM today, I will post another assignment asking you to provide feedback about our class meeting yesterday. Please be thoughtful with your answers as your individual opinions will help us craft more successful class meetings in the future.

Continue any art that you haven’t finished and feel free to send it my way. I am hoping to post the art that you’ve sent to me into our art gallery channel this afternoon!

Catch-up on work that you’ve set aside! Today’s a great day to do this and again, I am giving you this work time so that you can have a stress-free weekend to do the things that will make you and your family happy!

If you’re done everything and you have extra time, then please, as always, please practice your French on Duolingo, continue practicing your home row typing skills on ATRT, or read a book on Epic! Remember that Ms. Ho has great resources on her website.

Have a wonderful Friday and a fun weekend!

Hi all, please see the today’s learning opportunities below!

We have a class meeting at 2:00pm today. Please join us on Teams where we’ll be doing a group game like we did last week! See you there!

For social studies, you will be looking at another natural resource: fish. You will learn about categories within the fishing industry and even learn a bit about farmed fish.

For math, both grades will be doing 1 lesson. Both grades do not have anything extra to do on Teams.

• Math 4: Identifying Triangles: Video lesson here. It might also help you to print out this cheat sheet.
• Math 5: Classifying quadrilaterals. No tutorial video as this lesson just wraps up the previous 4-5 lessons.

Please continue to practice your French on Duolingo!

Hello everybody. Please see today’s schedule below:

For ELA, please you will find your assignment on Teams. Please read the poem once again, in stanzas. What’s a stanza? You will know what it is after you head over to Teams and watch a lesson on it. After watching the video, please read your assigned poem and do a reflection about it.

For math, you will continue with our regular math lessons. Please find the video lessons below:

• Grade 4: 1 lesson – Types of Angles: Video lesson: click here.
• Grade 5: 2 lessons – Rectangles and rhombuses: Video lesson: click here.

For science, you will be learning about temperate rainforests. You will be comparing temperate rainforests with tropical rainforests. Information can be found on Teams!

Hello everyone. Here’s today’s schedule.

First, we have a class meeting at 10:30am. Please join us as we discuss our work for the week and reading resources that we can find on the internet.

For math, you will continue lessons on Math IXL. Both grades have 2 lessons. Please find video lessons below.

• Math 4: Perpendicular, parallel, and intersecting lines. Click here for your lesson about lines vs segments vs rays. Click here for your video lesson about types of lines.
• Math 5: Identifying parallelograms and trapezoids. Click here to learn about both shapes as well as their similarities and differences. 5’s also have an assignment on Teams. For this assignment, all you have to do is tell me in your own words, the difference between a parallelogram and a trapezoid.
  • Hint: Parallelograms has the word parallel in it 🙂

For ELA, you will be learning and writing acrostic poems. You will find this assignment on Teams

You will have the rest of the day to do some catching-up. I’ve noticed that our percentage of assignments handed in on time has dropped a little bit. This is absolutely okay. I don’t want to overwhelm you by constantly pushing out new assignments, so instead of giving you another assignment, I want you to use this time to ensure that the work that you have yet to finish is done to the best of your abilities. For those of you who are done, read a book! Explore Ms. Ho’s website to access books. Use Epic Books! All this information is on the class blog.
