Dear Parents,
At this point in time,
Mme Elaine and I are waiting for the school district to give us the permission
to launch our Google Classroom learning platform. We appreciate your continued
patience in this regard.
To facilitate their
online learning, there will only be one Google Classroom for all grade 4
students at St. Luke. Currently students are only to accept the
invitation to join the classroom. We ask that they DO NOT complete
any of the assignments until further notice.
To access their @learn
account, please refer to the email with step-by-step instructions for logging
on. This email was sent to parents last week.
Please remind your child that the comments section of the
Google Classroom is not to chat with each other. This is only meant to ask the
teachers questions about assignments. We are being inundated with student
comments that are unnecessary.
While we wait to begin
our learning journey with the Google Classroom, I have compiled a list of
projects and assignments that students can work on for this week. Please read
below for more detail.
Reading: Students are encouraged to continue reading
20 minutes per day in each language (English and French).
French: Any student who has not yet sent me the good
copy of their Spring story on Google Docs is encouraged to do so. In addition,
they are invited to submit a second journal entry in French. This is to
replicate the "journal personnel" that they were already doing in
class. Students can submit their entries via Google Docs.
Math: Students received a copy of the math test in their bin. Anyone that has not yet completed this test at home is asked to do so. If there is a way to either take pictures or scan each page and email them to my @learn account (students have this email address already), that would be greatly appreciated. In addition, I am also waiting to receive the math project called "l'horaire de ma journée".
Social Studies: Any students who have not completed their agriculture project on a Google Doc is asked to do so. This is a group project; however, Google allows multiple people to collaborate on the same document at the same time. Any student who was hoping to do a paper poster will have to resort to a digital poster on Google Docs.
Science: For this week, students can read the information on "la poulie" and complete the activities in the “système de poulies” booklet. A hard copy of this booklet has been placed in their bins.
Just a reminder that
students are expected to complete one hour of schoolwork per day (5 hours a
week), but this time should be productive.
