Good morning room 5!

Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend and Happy Easter!

We are back to it this week working on double digit subtraction in math and writing "How to" stories in LA. 

I have modified my schedule a bit as per the schools requests and I will now be following a routine that looks like this:

I will be available to chat on the google meet chat everyday from 8:30-9:30 and 12:30-1:30. I will be doing a read aloud for all students if they would like to join from 9:30-10:00 every Monday and Wednesday. I am available to answer questions and emails anytime during the day and if a one to one session is needed to support specific student needs I will be available to book those as needed!



Hope everyone has a great week and stays safe!

As always, I am available through email to support any concerns moving into next week.

Please be safe everyone, enjoy the time with your families, eat healthy, and do some exercise everyday.

There is no school tomorrow (holiday) or Monday (PD day for teachers). 

Still feel free to work on assignments, read or use any of the online sites on the classroom or website.

Happy Friday April 3!

Next week will look like as follows:

Monday to Thursday: Google Meet with Mr Lancee from 8 am - 10 am for help with LA and Math.
The entire weeks assignments will be released on Monday at 8 am so that parents and students can access and complete assignments when they have time.
Due dates: The assignments will all be due the following Monday by 8 am.

Monday to Thursday: 12:30-2:30pm Google Meet again with Mr Lancee for continued support with LA and Math.

No School Friday this week.

My recommendation is:
  1. Sign on at 8 am and read the morning message on the stream of our classroom website. 
  2. Next, look at the assignment for LA or Math under the classwork tab. Watch any videos, try the questions and attempt the assignment before asking questions. 
  3. You can split your day up so that you do Math to start the morning and then LA before or after lunch. It really depends on your schedules. 
  4. Do not stress if you cannot get to assignment for one day. You can access all the assignments at any point in the week and I am just an email away if it is outside the meeting hours.
If you have a tech issue I will try my best to solve it but it may not be able to be fixed until the following day.

Thank you for patience and support in these difficult times.

Have a great weekend everyone!
