Hello! Today marks the second last day of instruction (in school and at home). We will be winding down in all activities. Please find your activities for today below:

Please upload your science biomes PowerPoint projects onto a new channel on Teams. This channel is called Science PowerPoints. In this area, you’ll find a YouTube link tutorial on how to do this. Once uploaded, feel free to leave some positive comments, ideas, or thoughts on your classmates’ work! Everyone’s worked very hard on this and I was happy to see how our ability to do PowerPoints have skyrocketed in such short time!

For math, you can do IXL, Khan, or Prodigy math. Those at school with me play Prodigy with me from 11:30 – 11:55. We may be online during that time, so you might just see me! My name in Prodigy is Priscilla Gardenboy.

Click here for some extension activities that can try out online.

For tomorrow’s class meeting at 1:15, each student at the meeting will have the opportunity to share something with the class. If you’d like to share anything to the class, jot some notes down so you are prepared to share confidently tomorrow! I really hope to see everybody there. I’ve prepared a special slideshow that highlights the best, bizarre moments (there were many!) of the year.

Happy Friday!

Great seeing many of you yesterday during our class meeting. Today will be a catch-up day.

I’ve put an activity up on Teams about developing the work that goes behind planning a field trip. I put it on last week so check it out if you have nothing to do. It’s optional but I encourage you to try it out. There’s a lot of work that goes into planning a field trip and I want to see if you can do it! There’s some researching, some persuading, and some math involved in the activity. If you do well, I’ll let your teacher next year know that you’ve “somewhat planned” a field trip this year!

Click here to see a list of optional activities that you may want to try out.

Continue working on your French on Duolingo or type on ATRT! I’m so sad that I don’t get to see your progress in typing this year =(.

Go outside! It will be raining tomorrow based on the weather report. Run, make bubbles, read a book outside!

Find a recipe online and ask to cook or bake with your family! Maybe you can plan an activity for your family! Check what ingredients you need, and see if you can go shopping for groceries over the weekend!

 

Hello everybody. I’m am looking forward to our 2nd last class meeting of the year at 2:00pm today.

Here are the learning opportunities for today:

We have a class meeting at 2:00pm.

For math, you will begin working on a new unit about probability on Math IXL.

• Grade 4: W1: Understanding Probability
• Grade 5: T4: Understanding Probability
• No video tutorial for both grades.

 

Continue developing your French on Duolingo.

Continue working on your science project (PowerPoint) if you have not yet finished.

You have probably noticed less work in the recent days. This is done on purpose so that those who are a little behind can catch up. If you have caught up with everything, click here to see some optional activities.

Hello everybody.

Please see your learning opportunities for the day below.

For math, you will not be doing Math IXL. You have an assignment on Teams where you will be showing me your understanding of reflections, rotations, and translations. Please make sure you watch the tutorial video on Teams.

For science, many of you have finished your PowerPoint. If you haven’t, continue working on it. My suggestion is to have the slide about cool facts completed. Let me know if you have questions.

Continue typing on ATRT or a typing program of your choice. Try Prodigy if you haven’t already (class code A872A3).

If you have finished everything early, check out the resources page on the class blog. Click the bold link to find a list fun activities! Try them out and let me know if you have any cool online resources/activities to share! Here’s the document if you can’t find it on the class blog.

Hello everybody,

I am at Suncrest today so I won’t be able to respond to questions as quick as usual.

Here are your learning opportunities for the day:

For ELA, you’ll be reading a poem about summer. Please find the assignment on Teams, and make sure that you read the poem more than two times. To uncover the meaning, look for the hint that I included in the word document.

For math, continue working on Math IXL. Both grades again, will be working on the same lesson. It’s combining the concepts that you learned yesterday. A combination of reflecting, rotating, and translating shapes. There is no video tutorial. Make sure to slow down and ask yourself… “what’s the first step” and “what’s the second step”.

 

Hello everybody,

Here’s the schedule for the week. This begins the 2nd last week that we will be spending with each other this school year =( Please see your learning opportunities for today below:

I will be at school teaching today and therefore, I will be responding to questions a bit slower than usual.

Revisit your core competency PowerPoint and make it look great! Please proofread, add backgrounds, and add transitions if you know how to. (Sam – and probably many of you know how to add great transitions so you can ask him if you need help). Make it look great!

For science, continue working on your PowerPoint. My suggestion for pacing is to work on the animals and their adaptations slide. If you are finished, great! Work on something else. Click here to find some extension activities. If you know any great activities online, let me know through email and I might add it to the list!

For math, both grades will have the same lesson on Math IXL. You will be working at the grade 5 level, doing lesson X3 – Reflections, rotations and translations.

• Reflection means reflecting from a line: visit here to play with some reflections.
• Rotation means turning the shape from a point
• Translation means sliding or moving the shape
• Watch this cheesy YouTube video tutorial: https://youtu.be/0Z1aUhGCZs0
• This lesson can be a little bit tricky. It’s normal to not get all of it. I’m just challenging you a bit.

Find your lesson on Math IXL.

Continue working on French on Duolingo!

Happy Friday!

Great to see so many of you during yesterday’s class meeting. Today will be a catch-up day after you work on your core competency PowerPoint. Here are today’s learning opportunities:

Continue working on your core competency PowerPoint. You’ll be working on 2 new slides about your personal and cultural identity. Like yesterday, I have not uploaded anymore video tutorials for this assignment. You have a choice for what you want to make your slides about. You can either talk about your personal and cultural identity or you can choose to talk about social awareness and responsibility. You can pick your last 2 slides to be about ONE of those bold links.

If you are done, read your favourite book! Go outside for some physical activity… make some art! The choice is yours. You can also look at your science project and make some edits to make your work even better. Again, the choice is yours! Click here for some extension questions.

 

Hello everybody! Thank you for constantly checking the class blog. I appreciate your organization and your dedication to e-Learning! Here are your learning opportunities of the day.

We have our regular class meeting at 2:00pm today! Hope to see all of you there!

We will continue working on our core competency PowerPoint. We have 2 more “lessons” of this and will be finished likely by this Friday. Thank you for your patience and for pouring your genuine thoughts into this assignment. I appreciate reading all that you have said. I haven’t made comments, but I have certainly read many of your slides. We will be looking into personal responsibilities today. I will have not updated the YouTube playlist because by now, you should have a good enough grasp of what to do. Click here to directly go to the core competency page about personal responsibility. Remember to click on profiles once you’ve clicked the link.

For math, we will continue on Math IXL.

• Both grades will be working on rotational symmetry. Remember to click on recommendations and look for the yellow star on the right to find lessons that I’ve recommended.
• Both grades have the same video tutorial: https://youtu.be/blQjglPb1jw  

Continue using Duolingo to practice your French!

Hello everybody, here are your learning opportunities for the day.

For math, we will continue with Math IXL along with a short activity.

• Grade 4: P20: Lines of symmetry
• Grade 5: X1: Lines of symmetry
• Both grades have the same video tutorial: https://youtu.be/59s_CQjTD6w  

Look around your home to identify some items with lines of symmetry. What item has the most lines of symmetry? You don’t have to do any work on Teams for math, but feel free to share your observations with the class.

For science, continue working on your science PowerPoint. My suggestion is to work on the plant life and adaptations slide. Ideally, if you’re on the plant life + adaptations or the animal life + adaptations slide, you are on a very good pace!

As always, continue practicing the life skill of typing! You can use ATRT or any program that your parents are okay with.

 

 

I am at Suncrest today so I won’t be able to answer answers really quickly. Please continue to post questions in the QUESTIONS only chat channel on Teams.

Here are the learning opportunities today:

We are going to start off with something special for someone special (I don’t want to make it obvious in case she checks the class blog) Full assignment details are on Teams. It’s fairly simple. All you have to do is draw a picture and write one sentence to go with it.

For math, we will continue on Math IXL.

• Grade 4’s: Q9: You will be learning about volume.
  • Key point: Volume is the amount of space inside a shape. For example, calculating the amount of water in a cup is calculating its volume.
  • No video tutorial
• Grade 5’s: Z9: Surface area.
  • Key point: Break your 3D shape into 2D (flat) nets.
    • How many faces does the 3D shape have?
    • Measure the surface area of each face
    • Add the surface area of all the faces together
  • Video tutorial: https://youtu.be/vl1uMOYFyf4  

For ELA, you will be learning about the pensee poem. You will write two poems. Remember to read through the rules carefully! They are pretty particular, so review them twice before you begin. Full assignment details on Teams.
