Google Meets

I am glad I got to see a few of you this morning!

I will do live meet sessions for questions and answers, and just to say hi on Tuesday's and Thursday's at 10 am. Remember the following directions when you are joining:


You need to login to Google Classroom to find the Meet Link - I will post reminders half an hour before the meeting goes live and I will start to show the link to Google Meet at 9:55 am - this link will change every single time to ensure that nobody gets into our meeting that shouldn't be there.

You will find the link in this spot of your Google Classroom main page:

Please remember the following things when you are taking part online:

Be respectful of your friends - if you have a question, you can raise your hand and I can see and call on you, or you can type your question into the right-hand side if you aren't sharing your video.

Make sure your microphone is muted so we can't hear what is going on in the background! We ALL can hear you otherwise - same with anything you type into the comment/question section. If you have something private to share/ask - please do it on Google Hangouts.

Lastly, make sure if you have questions - you write them down and/or bring the materials to show - it was great today when Rae-E and Norocos were able to share the pages. If you aren't printing things off, just being able to say - This is from Page 10 of the math booklet, or this is from the Rough Draft of the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie assignment also helps :)

Optional Math: How Great Is Your Number - Click here - You will need dice for this - if you do not have any dice at home you can click here for virtual dice: https://www.google.com/search?q=dice+roller - Remember the optional math does not need to be handed in. It is an extra challenge for you!

SCIENCE:

I've posted a few labs you can complete this week if you have the materialsIt is on Google Classroom. 

I will also be posting some cool Tynker Light lessons too. In order for you to be ready to do the coding part, you need to work through at least 3 tasks on Tynker - see the coding lessons on Google Classroom and pick and choose which ones you want to do. If your device doesn't allow Tynker - that is okay too! You can watch the videos I am posting to Google Classroom instead.

LANGUAGE:

2. Reading Comprehension Day 2 - Same as yesterday - Use Kami, use the attached Google Form, print it out to send to me at the end of the week, or write down your answers to email me later.

3. If You Give A Mouse a Cookie - Rough Drafts - I have posted your next section on Google Classroom along with a video to support the lesson progression. PLEASE watch the video BEFORE you try to work through the assignment!

Note: Some of you have not finished the previous planning assignment - Please check your email for a lesson from me if I have not received your planning work from last week! I will send a message to parents as well just checking in if I haven't received your work yet - if you do not have a mark for it, it means I have not received it!
  • Due by next Monday with the Rough Draft so I can edit and give pointers. Again, fill into the document provided, email, fill out on paper and scan, attach to lesson, attach to email etc. Whatever works best for you.
