Division 5,<\/h1>\n

It has been a very interesting and different Spring Break for many of us. I know you have many questions and wonders in your mind, and I will be here to support you through this journey.<\/p>\n

I am very excited to try two new ideas to teach all of you!<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to get started……<\/p>\n

First, we will have a class blog! In the class blog, you will find activities, lessons, games, and videos to guide your learning in the upcoming days ahead of us.<\/p>\n

Check out our class blog!<\/b><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Class Blog <\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/yapps<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can bookmark this site on your web browser.<\/p>\n

Next, each one of you will have your own BlogFolio!<\/p>\n

What is a BlogFolio?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022 It\u2019s a place where you can share your work, thinking, ideas, pictures, videos, and many more!
\n\u2022 Your BlogFolio is private. Only your teachers, family, and yourself will be able to view or comment. You will have your own username and password.
\n\u2022 You will be able to post and comment on all the things you will learn.
\n\u2022 You will use the class blog to learn new skills. When you are ready to share your thinking, you can post your work in your BlogFolio. I will be able to go into your BlogFolio to comment and\/or give you ideas on how you can continue to learn more skills. It\u2019s a place where you can ask questions and\/or share what you have learned.<\/strong>
\n\u2022 You will be expected to post your work weekly. The number of posts will vary weekly. \u00a0Stay tuned!<\/strong>
\n\u2022 I\u2019d like to remind all of you to use appropriate language and behaviour when you plan to share a post and or make a comment. Your BlogFolio is a place for you to demonstrate your skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a link to access your BlogFolio<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Families, please provide support and guidance as your child learns how to login and log out, set up, and publish their work in their BlogFolio. \u00a0I\u2019ve set up a \u201chow to\u201d<\/a> page <\/span><\/span>on the homepage in my class blog. Take some time to carefully read through the instructions with your child. \u00a0Thank you!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Learning Website Links:<\/u><\/span><\/h2>\n

I will be in touch with each of you very soon regarding how your child will access the curriculum. In the meantime, students can access the following sites:<\/p>\n

If you are using a laptop or desktop, you can click on the links below and log in with their username or class code.<\/p>\n

Both programs are also accessible through your tablet or smartphone, Android or IOS device. You can go the Play Store or App Store and download it.<\/p>\n

Reading:<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Epic Books<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n

Epic Books offers access to 35,000 books, learning videos, quizzes and more!
\nStudents in Division 5 have had the opportunity to access resources from Epic Books prior to Spring Break. Hence, many of them will be familiar with the site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Math<\/b><\/u>:<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prodigy<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u25cf It\u2019s a fun math-focused game that adapts questions to your child\u2019s individual needs.
\n\u25cf It helps students gain confidence as they progress through the math curriculum at their own pace.
\n\u25cf Prodigy rewards students as they learn by unlocking more of the in-game world and features.
\n\u25cf Plus, the game is safe and private, and a great use of screen time!<\/p>\n

This will be a new program for students in Division 5. Families, please help your child log in and access the program.<\/p>\n

I hope you will spend sometime reading in Epic Books, and practice your math skills on Prodigy. I have set up your accounts, and I will be tracking your progress and your work. If you have any questions, you can post them on your BlogFolio and I will respond as soon as possible!<\/p>\n

Keep learning and wondering,<\/p>\n
