Tuesday, March 24th Lessons

Hi Students! Please complete the following work.

Math: 

Your Math lesson is posted on Google classroom to help you move through Chapter 1 - Lesson 8. The textbook pages are also posted on Google Classroom. Please remember to click onto the "Classwork" tab at the top of your Google classroom and you will find all of the pages are under the Math PDF section.

STEP-BY-STEP

1. Login to Google Classroom - Follow what the Math task is telling you to do, complete the questions on page 20.
2. Complete the Google Form that is attached on Google Classroom to consolidate your learning. This is the grade I will enter in for this lesson. 
3. Practice on XtraMath - one round at least
4. Spend at least 20 minutes practicing on Prodigy.

Science: 

1. Catch up on your science from last week if you are not finished. This means posting a Flipgrid showing the materials you are going to use for your final product.
2. Read the documents posted on Google Classroom. Pay close attention to the RUBRIC to ensure you are meeting all requirements and are demonstrating your understanding of how you can modify sound including volume and pitch.
3. Once you are done creating your original musical instrument, respond to the Flipgrid I have posted to demonstrate how it works. Remember you must show HOW it works, as well as how it makes different volumes and pitches.
4. This is due on FRIDAY so you have all week to work on it. 
5. Ms. Soltes will guide you on the next steps once you are done 1-4!

Language

1. Complete the journal prompt left for you on Google Classroom - just the one that says March 24th. If you cannot type in the document, please just complete it on paper to hand into me when we return.
2. Read for 20 minutes on Raz Kids or read some of the science books on Epic
3. You can also work on Freckle Language tasks if you have time!

I have also posted Art on Google Classroom for you - Mo Williams is actually showing art with recycled materials today! COOL!

The PE team and Ms. Yen Yen have also posted some work for you to do and Ms. Soltes updated her blog to give you some tools to make your musical instruments even better! And.. if you want to talk.. I will be on Google Hangouts from 8:00 - 3:00. Talk to you soon! 

And remember....

Keep on Reading and Practicing on your Math applications!

Just taking a little look at those of you who have been reading at least 20 minutes a night. WOW!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Rachel, Norocos, YunZhi, Sophia, Gianna, and MinYou for spending time on Raz Kids last week! Especially Rachel who read the most in the class on Raz Kids! For those of you who are reading books at home, thank you to you as well! I just can't see what you are doing, but I appreciate it as well!

Also, thank you to my top 5 Prodigy players: Aroush, Rachel, Norocos, Ming Kee, and Gianna

And those of you who have been practicing a lot on XtraMath: Aroush, Gianna, Jayden, Ming Kee, Norocos, and YunZhi - you practiced nearly every day! AMAZING!

Keep up the good work 4A! I will announce next week as well who have been working hard this week as well ;)

Another subtraction master!

Wow, we have another Subtraction master!!

Congratulations YunZhi for passing his XtraMath Subtraction! He is now onto Multiplication! Great job!

Hey students! Keep practicing so I can congratulate you next! All who pass any level (addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division) will get a prize from me when we return. Those who make it through division get a special prize 😉

Congratulations to our First subtraction master on Xtra Math!

Norocos has mastered subtraction! Way to go!

Keep on practicing! When we get back those who have passed levels will receive their rewards!!

Weekly Reflection & Review

Friday, March 20th

Are you a Ketchup or a Pickle?

Once you are done with your language tasks you will be a Ketchup or a Pickle:
Ketchup's are expected to "catch up" on everything by Tuesday so you are ready
to go for further lessons.
Pickles can "pick" a few things to do and then enjoy your weekend!

Some students have not completed ANY of these tasks. Please spend time getting yourself onto Google Classroom and getting caught up. Otherwise, you will have a lot to catch up on, on your own when we get back to school. That will mean a lot of homework for you!

Ketchups: Please get this done ASAP (As Soon As Possible) 1. Math Page 18-19 2. Introductory Flipgrid video 3. Science Labs on moderating sound 4. Watch science videos & read some science books on Epic 5. Practice on XtraMath 6. Post on Flipgrid about their Musical Instruments 7. Google Classroom Friday Writing activity on your first week away from school

Pickles: Pick a few of these to do, and then enjoy your weekend! 1. Mo Williams Art or free art 2. Prodigy or Xtramath 3. Freckle or Spelling City 4. Raz Kids or free reading or Epic 5. Math Games or other games 6. Free time

If you are unsure what some of these things are, you need to go onto the Google Classroom to see what has been assigned for you!

New Fact Master

Congratulations Maranelo on becoming the latest Addition Fact Master!! When we get back to school remind me to give you a prize!

I see many of you practicing at home... Who is going to be the next fact master?!? 😉

Google Hangouts & Flipgrid

Hi Students!!

So, seeing we are now having to talk through the internet I have created an option for you to message me directly!

Just like you login to your Google classroom, you will click on the little grid in the corner to get to your Gmail account.

Click on Gmail! Once you are in your Gmail account you should see an invite from Jessie Chislett on the bottom of your screen or the bottom left of your Gmail account! From there you can "chat" with me and ask me any questions you might have. From 8am-3pm every day I will be available.

FLIPGRID

Some of you have already started using Flipgrid! Thank you!

If you haven't yet.. go to your Google Classroom and find where I posted something about Flipgrid. Click on the link and follow the directions. 

You are going to introduce yourself AND share an interesting fact about yourself to get started. Other students in class can view your videos too! And.. you should be able to comment on each other's posts so you can still talk to each other and build community! Remember to practice being positive and showing kindness to each other.

We will be using Flipgrid as we go to share our learning over the next few weeks so please get comfortable with it!

I hope you have gotten started on your tasks from today and are enjoying your science labs! Talk soon :)

How to use a Dictionary

We've been learning a lot of new words and improving our vocabulary. When we don't know a word, we are practicing new skills by looking up the word in the dictionary and using it in a sentence! This helps all students, whether they are English Language Learners or not.

Please watch the following videos if you need help with putting words in alphabetic order and finding them in the dictionary!

There is also a more in-depth discussion around using a dictionary here with pictures!
