Sharks!

Grades K-2: Livestream series in two parts

Overview

Sharks are friends! Can you move like a shark? How fast are sharks? Let’s get up close and explore their body parts and see what makes sharks so fin-credible.

How does it work?

This interactive series consists of two weekly consecutive sessions in one month. Each live session lasts approximately 30 minutes, is a lesson taught by a team of professional educators, and is broadcast to multiple classes at the same time via YouTube Live. Students will interact with the educators through browser-based polls and hands-on activities.

Educators may also use the recordings on your own schedule; the student polls remain open for asynchronous use.

Registration is now closed, but don't fret! We'll embed the recording here within 48 hours of the live event.

Connection & technology information

A week before the session, registered parties will receive an email containing the unique YouTube Live destination for the broadcast. If you registered on behalf of multiple classes, forward this along to your buddy teachers.

We highly recommend testing—in advance of the program date—whether the device you plan to use can access YouTube Live. If you can see our Live Penguin Cam, you should also be able to watch other Academy livestreams.

Sorry! The Academy cannot control your district’s security settings.

  • If you or your students cannot access the Students | Estudiantes tab above, you must contact your IT department to whitelist this website.

  • If you or your students’ district devices cannot access YouTube Live or YouTube videos, you can instead play the embedded Recordings, which we will post within 48 hours of the broadcast.

  • Our programs are designed so that students can participate asynchronously; all interactive aspects such as Mentimeter polls and Padlet student submissions remain active through the semester.

If you have questions or need us to resend the email (check your junk folder first!), please contact us at distancelearning@calacademy.org. We recommend adding that email address to your contacts to help ensure our messages are accepted by your district's email domain.
