 Check-In -- Wednesday, September 9th

Remember to go to Music at 11:00am! The kids and I went over it before they left this morning, but here is a video explaining it as well: https://www.loom.com/share/fc7411086f5b4eb38ea6c128a93bc071.

The kids were wonderful! They did a great job sharing, muting/unmuting, and being respectful to their classmates. We were a little more fidgety today, but that's understandable. We did discuss that not everyone will get to share every time. Thank you for your patience!

Today, we...

  • reviewed how to use Google Meet
    • practiced using the chat box on Google Meet
  • learned about morning meeting
  • read The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend
  • learned some facts about each other
  • defined what strengths and weaknesses are
  • explored the features of Seesaw
    • We still do not have logins available; we will review this again when logins are available.
  • reviewed how to access Schoology and our Playlists

This afternoon...

  • explore Schoology
  • go to the Wednesday Playlist button on Schoology
  • complete your Must-Dos on the Playlist
  • consider completing some May-Dos or Extra Time activities
Nothing is due today. I only expect the kids to practice logging into their programs and apps and write about their favorite part today (Must-dos). They can spend some time on each of the programs as well (May-dos).

For tomorrow...
  • Bring three items for show-and-tell
    • Practice what you want to say about each item
Tomorrow, we will...
  • have morning meeting
  • celebrate a birthday
  • play a game
  • learn about citizenship
  • read a book
  • do a show-and-tell
  • Go to Art at 11:00am

Notes

  • If you need to print your child's QuickCard again, please view THIS VIDEO for directions.
  • There is now a "How-to" folder on our Schoology that I will add various instructional videos and documents to (like logging into Schoology).
  • There is a "Google Meet Recordings" folder where the recordings of our morning sessions will be saved.
  • As per Mr. Thiessen, we will not be doing small groups until late September or early October. Therefore, all the kids need to do in the afternoon is go to their Playlist for the day and complete those activities.
    • When we start small groups, you will receive an individual schedule for your child with their specific afternoon schedule.
  • We still DO NOT have Seesaw logins available. You will receive an individual email from me when it is available.
