If you are working on a tablet/phone you may want to download the Google meet and Google Classroom App beforehand.

Welcome to week 2 of learning from home.  This week we are beginning to transition to Google Classroom as our main hub for our learning.  As we trouble shoot any potential access issues with Google Classroom we will continue to post our learning plans here as well.  However, if you are able to access Google Classroom, please go there to see your learning activities and ways to submit your work.

You will be able to access your child's Google Classroom through their educbe email account.  The invite to join the classroom will go to this account as well.
Here are some links to help you understand this process.

Reading: Please choose your next book on Raz-Kids. Make sure that you are choosing a book at your assigned reading level.  You must read the book and if you choose to you can also listen to the book.  After you have finished the reading take the quiz you.  If you can't read some of the words in the questions, just click on the word and it will read it for you.

Please also make sure you are doing at least 15-20 minutes of reading every day. If you need some new books, please check out the Calgary Public Library for some great e-books or you can find books in the Raz-kids reading room or Level up! room.

Fresh Air Friday/Journals: Each week I will give you a writing prompt for your journal.  You can continue to write and draw in your black journal, just like we did at school.

Time: 1 hr

Here is this week’s journal prompt we thought you could combine it with a fresh air activity to do outside:

Go on a walk outside (as long as you are able) If not, look out your window and observe what you see. Tell me about your walk using our 5W’s. Where did you go? Who did you go with? When did you go? What did you see? Why did you choose this walk? Try to tell me as many details as you can so that I can imagine your walk.  

Journal expectations:

Exploring Google Classroom
Take time this week, along with a parent, to explore Google classroom.  Practice logging in and finding your assignments.  You can also practice sharing your work with me in the google doc that is there called "work for week 2". This may take you a bit of time.  If you are having trouble with anything please email me.
1 hr.

Math:

 The second assignment for our study of number patterns is attached. It is called 100’s Chart Challenge.

Time: 1.5 hrs

Science:

This week, please work on the appearance section of your animal research book. As you describe your animal’s appearance think about the features that make your animal unique and features that are important for your animal’s survival. Eg. Ear or tail shape, type of fur.  Don't forget to add height and length and weight of your animal.

HINT: Some of the ideas from this page might come from your diagram. Just remember to take those labels and turn them into full sentences.
