Hi families,

Our second  virtual KAHOOT / ZOOM session was awesome. It was great to see you all again. I miss the energy of our classroom and it was terrific to hear many of you laughing again.

We will try  to “meet” again twice next week on Tuesday and Thursday. In the meantime remember to be kind, be calm and be safe.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Week 3.

Here are some suggested activities for you to work on this week. I’ve made a list of 15 (some Literacy, some Numeracy and some D.P.A.). Try to do 3 a day.  You can email me at jayson.ricker@burnabyschools.ca or at rickerjay24@gmail.com  with your progress. Some of you like to email me daily, while others are emailing at the end of the week. Either strategy works for me.  I have enabled the comment section as well, but all comments will need to be approved before they are posted.

Remember,  please don’t print the grid. Just open a word document or a google doc and send them off. I’m really enjoying all of the pictures and artwork you are submitting to me. I am very jealous of some of your neighbourhood walks. Please keep going.

This week, I am including a link to our current events program. You can read the text online, and respond via email or google docs. This week’s article is about the COVID-19.     Current Events – Week 3

I’d like to try a KAHOOT again this week. In order to play, we would need to be online at the same time on the same day. I was thinking Thursday the 23rd at 10:00. Please add a comment if you are able to play. I’ll send out a ZOOM ROOM link prior to the start of the game.

Week two  was another successful learning experiment thanks to you. Remember we are all trying our best. Mistakes are how we learn. I’m still learning too. Let’s remember to keep a Growth Mindset! Keep washing your hands – it’s working!

Be safe everyone.

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great long weekend.

Here are some suggested activities for you to work on this week. I’ve made a list of 15 (some Literacy, some Numeracy and some D.P.A.). Try to do 3 a day. For some of the activities I have included links to the Khan Academy and to a virtual game site that the Ricker family has been using nightly. You can email me at jayson.ricker@burnabyschools.ca or at rickerjay24@gmail.com  with your progress.

Hi everyone. I hope this works! Be well.

If this works can you comment on it please?

Hi everyone! I hope you are all staying safe and washing your hands.

I hope this works. Here are some suggested activities for you to work on this week. I’ve made a list of 12 (some Literacy, some Numeracy and some D.P.A.). Try to do 2 a day. You can email me at jayson.ricker@burnabyschools.ca or at rickerjay24@gmail.com  with your progress.

Please don’t print the grid. Just open a word document or a google doc and send them off. I’d love to see some pictures too. Good luck.

This is an experiment. I’m still learning too. Let’s remember to keep a Growth Mindset!

The Virtual Classroom – week 1

Dear Division 3 families,

I hope this email finds you all safe and well. I have been thinking about you all and recognize this is a very unusual time. I hope that you are all staying healthy and safe during this time. This is something we have never experienced before, and we are entering uncharted waters regarding how education will be delivered to your child(ren).

I just really wanted to reach out and let you know that I will be doing my best to support you all. I am doing what I can to figure out as much as possible and work out ways in which I can not only provide instruction and resources, but also provide any needed support that may be needed. I will continue to encourage and support the students’ academic, social and emotional development as best I can.

Our school is having a virtual staff meeting on Wednesday to discuss some of the next steps we will be taking as a Brentwood Park community. I will let you know more as soon as there are answers provided as to how we are to provide continuity of learning over the coming weeks. I will be in touch with more details later this week as I receive more information. I look forward to us working through all of the challenges together.

Thank you for your patience during this challenging time.

Mr. Ricker
