HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHOENIX!! It's been a little rainy the past few days. Have you had a chance to play a board game with your family or maybe do a little extra reading? I was straightening my office up and I discovered this gem of a book: Can you find all 10 sloths? I apologize for the confusion with the 13 Colonies Brainpop video yesterday. Please use the information below to login for today's assignments:
BrainPop Login Information: Username: bostonbp Password: brainpop Office Hours: 8-10am 5-6pm I'm sorry about the inconvenience! I am looking into the Brainpop technical issues. For now, students may skip the activity. I will send out another update later when I have the correct user login and password information. Thanks for your patience!
Happy Birthday Abigail! Here's a look back at last week's "Playing with your Food" STEM Challenge! I love the creativity! I noticed many of you used similar strategies! I have posted this week's remote assignments in the "00 Assignments for Remote Learning" Folder in Google Drive and on the "Assignments" tab on my webpage.
Once again, you have the ability to move at your own pace through the material over the course of the week. If you're having difficulty finding your reading, writing, or science journals, please try clicking "Shared with Me" in Google Drive. As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Looking for an extra challenge this week? I assigned an optional activity called "Imagineering in a Box" on Khan Academy. Imagineering in a Box is designed to pull back the curtain to show you how artists, designers and engineers work together to create theme parks. Go behind the scenes with Disney Imagineers and complete project-based exercises to design a theme park of your very own. Office Hours: 8-10 4-5 Good Afternoon Families!
I hope you all are having a nice weekend. I have received training and am working diligently with my team to prepare a smooth transition for our students into Google Classroom beginning Monday, April 6. At this time, I do not feel ready to roll it out to all the kids for this week's work. So this week we will continue with the same platform as last week! On Thursday there will be a practice Google Classroom assignment so I can make sure everyone can access their account and view an assignment. I can tell you it is not a video classroom where kids need to be at their computers at a specific time. It is very similar to what we are already doing. Classroom will just help kids organize their work and help them to know what is due and what they missed all in one place. They will click on an assignment, complete it and click submit. That's it! No more creating documents or trying to find a Google Slide. It also gives them a to-do list (which you can look at with them) so you can quickly and easily see what they have completed and what they haven't. Finally, it gives me a way to give an assignment back to them for editing or revision. Google Classroom makes it difficult for them to miss my feedback. =) As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. To summarize - no Google Classroom this week, no specific meeting times. We will do a test assignment on Thursday with a roll out the following week. Have a great rest of your weekend! ~Ms. Lydon Good Morning and Happy Fun Friday!!! I can't wait to see pictures of your "Playing with Your Food" STEM challenges today. I will be putting together a slide show so that you can see your classmates creations as well. So, be on the look out! You also get to read about my favorite animal, sloths! You're welcome!! Today's going to be a great day! Enjoy it! Riddle: Which food is the chattiest? (Scroll down for the answer) Office Hours: 8-10 1-3 Riddle Answer: Talk-os....Get it?!?!
It's a boy! Yesterday, I became an auntie again! Please welcome to the world Mr. Huxley Lydon. I can't wait to meet him in person! Today looks like the perfect day to make your sundial and test it out to see if it works! If you're looking for something to do, I'd also recommend tracing your shadow with chalk at different times throughout the day. Does your shadow move? Or change throughout the day?
As always, you're doing an excellent job with the weekly assignments. Yesterday, I especially enjoyed reading your monster adventure stories. You really let your imaginations run wild. Keep up the great work! If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out! Daily Office Hours: 8-10 4-5 Good Morning! Did you have fun crafting your monster yesterday? You're so creative! I loved seeing what materials you chose to use and how you chose to use them. Keep the pictures coming! I can't wait to hear about their adventures in your monster writing today. Good luck with your daily remote assignments. Don't forget to look back on yesterday's assignments to see my feedback. Do you wanna build a snowman?
I hope you enjoyed your 2-Hr Snow Delay as much as my cat, Casper! I'm beginning to think he might be part dog! Seriously...does anyone else's cat sleep like that? I've never had a cat before this year, so this is all new to me! You continue to amaze me with how well you've risen to the challenge of remote learning. I am so impressed by your thoughtful and thorough answers! I can tell that you are taking your time and doing your best work! Great job! Enjoy today's assignments and make sure you get outside and play in the snow before it melts away. Good Morning and Happy Monday! |
