Good morning Division 7,

Happy Friday!

To discuss:

1. Monday
2. Sharing Circle – today at 11 am
3. Learning Opportunities

1. Monday

On Monday we will begin in-person instruction at school. For the students returning to school on Monday: please review the expectations sent to your parent’s email carefully. We will need to practice some patience as we begin in-person instruction. I am truly looking forward to seeing some of your faces again 🙂

2. Sharing Circle

We have Sharing Circle today at 11 am. Please access Microsoft Teams a few minutes early to make sure you are set-up. Please enter the call with your camera microphone on “mute” (click the camera and microphone button, it should have a line slashed through it).

Guidelines:

1. Please be kind and respectful through out the entire call. We are all being vulnerable by sharing and attending the meeting.
2. Please inform a parent/guardian about this video call. Be sure to ask for permission before joining.

If you need a refresher or have not yet viewed the video conferencing guidelines, please do so before our call: video conferencing (click)

Extensions (optional)

d.) Makers

Planning sheet: Habitats

While researching and exploring your “weird” animal, consider it’s habitat. Please recreate your animal’s habitat. This may be done on paper or in a real-life structure form.

Consider the 3 essential components of a habitat:

1. Food
2. Water
3. Shelter

How does the animal’s habitat provide these 3 components? Please describe and represent this (either in a drawing or structure form). You may also display this on a PowerPoint (or any other way you wish to explore).

e.) Genius Hour (optional)

Continue your Genius Hour project. You may want to focus on your “weird animal” this week.  This is an ongoing project. If you have completed it or are just starting, here is the planning sheet to start a new inquiry: Genius Hour Planning Sheet. Please follow the following planning sheet to guide you through your planning and  research.

Have a good day,

Ms. Daneshwand
