Welcome Back!

 

Hello Grade 5/6s,

Those 2 weeks went quick! I am looking forward to seeing you all this week online! 😀

I know some of you may be a little nervous about switching to online, please do not worry. It is just temporary and we will take it one day at a time. Remember, it's okay if there are some internet or other glitches. Please don't panic if you're having any tech issues, just send me an email and let me know. If you're unable to get into the Google Meet one day, you can just continue work you have already started (see the Work List) and/or go onto your online homework sites: Prodigy, Raz-Kids, or Xtramath. 

There is no homework this week! I just want you to take the time to adjust and settle in to virtual learning again. 

I am going to reshare the 'Work List' again since we are virtual. I think this will be the easiest way for you to know what you need to be completing. Like before, it will be organized per week. Then, for each week, it will show the Hapara Workspaces we will be using. Then, I will separate it by days - to make it easier. We will see how that goes. You will need to check this daily, as I will likely be updated day by day. 

Tomorrow, Wednesday, if you see this before then, we are going to go over the expectations for virtual, I'm going to show you how to locate a couple of items online, answer any questions you have, discuss zones of regulation, and we will do some learning activities. 

Here is the link for the 'Work List'. I'm still in the process of updating it. 

Ms. Bontes
