I hope that everyone is enjoying this Sunday with their families. I wanted to give you an update as to what this week is going to look like for "Learning at Home".
The grade 3 team has created a Hapara Workspace and everything that you need for the week will be in there. Think of it as a "One Stop Shop". We have done our best to outline a bit of a schedule for you as well as keep the workspace organized into days of the week. Our hope is to do one of these a week while we are learning in this format - from home.
As you probably already know, the Ministry has suggested that we provide 5 hours of work per week (one hour per day) and we've done our best to do so. You are more than welcome to do more if you would like, but we are mandated to provide you with enough work for the 5 hours. The five hours is supposed to be broken down half and half with Math and Literacy. Literacy includes French instruction time as well. If there are concerns with any of this matter - please let me know. Also, if you child is taking way longer than that allotted time to complete these tasks, please also let me know and we can adjust accordingly.
Your child will find this workspace that we are talking about by going to the OCSB Student Portal - https://sites.google.com/a/
** Just a note that the "Evidence" column that links to the actual student work won't be accessible until first thing tomorrow morning as we had to create a start and end date. It will be "open" for submissions until Sunday, April 12th.
Mme. Caminiti and I will be doing a quick Google Meet Video Chat tomorrow morning at 10am for the students to walk them through the Workspace and ensure they understand everything as well. Feel free to sit in with your child (if you're available) for this chat if you would like to be in the loop as well. We hope to do another call this week on Thursday afternoon for a more relaxed check in and "hangout". Your child will receive the link to participate in this call tomorrow morning right before the call to their student email address so have them look there for the invite.
As we navigate this new way of learning over the next little while, please be patient as we try to do our best to provide the students and you with the best possible options for learning at home. I understand sometimes it can be frustrating and overwhelming and I'm here to help so please reach out!
That's all for now,
Marina Summers
