Welcome Back

 Welcome back to school!!

I am so very pleased to say that we will be back in the classroom on Monday January 11 as per the governments announcement yesterday afternoon.  Online meetings are going well but it's just not the same.  Just a reminder that the link to the classroom will not go live until just before 10, 11:30 and 2 for security reasons.  Right after the meet I will remove the link so students can not remain in the room alone.

We have started a mini unit on fractions online and when that work is done students can submit it to me.  I will check every morning for completed work.  There is also a research piece to compare Alberta to another country.  That project is meant to take all week.

Yesterday your young author should have chosen a person they know and love very much to focus a piece of writing on.  That person can be a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle and began the planning process on the graphic organizer: Connecting to a Special Grown-up.  Today they were to use the ideas from their planning sheet to write about their special grown up.  We are all working on making our writing interesting to our reader and using techniques such as similes, adjectives, and facts followed by a detail.  Tomorrow they will need to share their writing with you! 

As always if you have questions or problems I'm an email or phone call to the school away!
