April 29, 2020 Shape of the Day

Hello Parents and Students of Division 1

 

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

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.

Some Highlights from our Duckling Adventures 2020

From Jan - March our Class was fortunate to participate in an Eggucation adventure. I would recommend this program.  Here is the link for people interested in the program: Eggucation Website .
Our ducklings hatched on Feb 5th and we celebrated their 1 month birthday on March 5th.  Many classes in the school studied the eggs and visited the ducklings.  We named them Lightning, Thunder and Storm.  We worked with our K-1 buddies on duck science: we recorded observations, wrote a duck story, created art, researched facts, read duck inspired fiction, and helped our K-1 buddies make a book on their ipads using Book Creator.  We had helpful staff and families that arranged overnight and weekend getaway adventures. We were able to participate in this program because the Moody Elementary PAC provided the financial resources.  Here are some photos - most were posted to our twitter account as they happened.
