Wow. First blog post in nearly a week. Meetings out of school every day since last Wednesday keeps me hopping, but no time for blog updates, for which I apologize.  Fortunately there hasn't been a lot of homework, per se, but one might wonder what, if anything, the students are learning judging from the Cone of Silence that has descended over this blog!

Gr. 6: No homework
Gr. 5: p. 141 # 9, 10, 11 (F) *** Also, we have begun working on times tables, starting with the 2 times tables (2 x 0 up to 2 x 12), and we'll have a quiz this Friday 16 January on that.

Christmas paragraph for Ms. Weiss (Th)

I sent out email invitations earlier this week to each parent email I had, so that you can view your child's electronic portfolio of work, using FreshGrade. If you haven't received the email, or are having difficulty, please email me pclarke@sd44.ca

If you have any feedback or questions, I'd appreciate hearing from you regarding your child's eportfolio. Be aware that although most browsers are supported (even mobile platforms), some assets may not play well with older browsers, and at the moment Firefox doesn't allow video or audio to play well, whereas in my experience Safari and Chrome work flawlessly.

Slavery:

We have been talking about the slave trade this week, and students were enjoying an online interactive game that National Geographic has made for schools.

It requires a download of a browser plug-in, or (if on a tablet) an app, but thereafter the game is instructional, with many possible outcomes, and fun too. If your family is interested you can find the starting page here:.
