April 30 Shape of the Day

Hello Division 1 Parents and Students,

It is almost Friday! Everyone is doing a really great job of connecting and finding things in TEAMS.  Thank you!


I am curious how many people are coming to this website from our class, so I am going to ask a question here and see who answers it.

Tomorrow is Friday, and I would like to go on a fieldtrip with whoever is available at 11:45 Friday, May 1.

Virtual Fieldtrip of course - I am thinking here:  Virtual Fieldtrip Location

If you want to participate, reply to the April 30th post in our GENERAL CHAT in TEAMS saying: "Yes, I want to participate and I will eat my lunch after the fieldtrip"

This way, I will know you have read this.

The Shape of the Day is posted in TEAMS and students can access the LINKS there. Below is an IMAGE.

Remember - do what you can on days that you can! Be kinder than necessary

Shape of the Day April 28

Hello Division 1 Parents and Students!

Other than the weekly group check-in, or Mrs. Elie (Live edition), all activities can be completed at a time of day that is most convenient for your family.  Every family situation is different, and we are starting to develop a routine that is working for most people on most days.  Remember, "everyone is doing the best they can." Try for some Reading, some Writing and some math each day.  Use the Weekly checklist below to help you keep track.

What are we doing today?

Orange Group Video Call at 10:30 - Pink Group Video Call at 10:45


Other groups, check-in on your group-mates (Go to your colour group page and have a conversation - share a school appropriate link, or ask people how they are feeling today  - some people doing a really great job here.)


Go to your Math Team EVERYDAY (Mr. E or Mrs. Elie will have instructions in that Team)

Finish the April 27 writing assignment.(due April 29, you are not late)

GO to YOUR READING GROUP - did you hand-in the page about SETTING? Finish it today.

Shape of the Day April 22, 2020 Digital Learning Days

Hello Division 1

Having had so much fun scrolling around in Microsoft TEAMS, I think this might be a better place to organize our day. Everyday, start here.

Go to TEAMS when you need to:
  •  ask questions
  • communicate with classmates
  • participate in class/small group discussions
  • watch lessons or videos
  • get some resources.
  • see/hear/chat with Mrs. Elie LIVE
I believe, everyone is doing the best they can.

Every family has a different situation and people are able to use technology at different times of the day.

Mrs. Elie LIVE happens in TEAMS from 10:30-12:00.  Mrs. Elie is often available other times too on the discussion boards or for appointments.
