Notice: I tried to contact all parents/guardians today. Sorry if I was unable to reach you. Please look for two emails coming from me. One has already been sent and has questions to be answered for the CBE. The second will probably be sent out tomorrow with information on Google Classrooms and what can be expected for the students in the coming weeks. Once you get the email, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me back at jaberry@cbe.ab.ca.

Please continue to follow the below activities for this week, as Google Classrooms will not start until Monday.

Hi Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to the first week of online learning. I understand that this is a huge change for everyone and it can be overwhelming. We are all learning this together.

Remember that our first two Google Meet calls are on Monday from 8-10 am or 12:30-2:30 pm. Students can log in at any point during those two time slots to connect, get support and ask questions. They can access the calls through a link posted on our Google Classroom Stream Tab.

They will simply need to click on the link and then hit the “Join Now” button on the right hand side.

This week coming up I have provided students with 6 different learning opportunities. I have highlighted three “Must” tasks. These will be the tasks that I am using to continue to assess student learning and will be a priority. The “Should” and “Could” tasks can be utilized to help further develop student understanding and extend learning. Remember, as requested by the government, students are required to participate in 5 hours per week of learning.

Must Tasks (will be marked)

Math 90 Degree Angles Lesson and Student Pages

Mathletics - Right Angle Relation Assignment

Common Lit Reading Comprehension - Strong for Skeena

Should Tasks

To be completed after Must Tasks

LA - Daily 5 (15-20 minutes each of Read to Self, Shared Reading, Listening to Reading, Practice Writing, and Word Work)

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me via email (spmahon@cbe.ab.ca).

Hello Parents/Guardians,

I was very excited to log onto our Google Classroom today and see how many students have joined. If your child has yet to do so, please get them to log onto their Google account and join our class. Once they have done that, you will notice there are now 3 assignments under the Classwork tab. Please have your child work through these sequentially.

The first assignment, Google Classroom and Google Meet Expectations, is one that needs to be completed with both student and parent/guardian. Please read through this document and discuss the contents with your child. (You can also find this message posted on the Stream tab)

The second assignment, Grade 5 Google Classroom Scavenger Hunt, will challenge students to navigate their new Google Classroom learning environment and answer questions.

The third assignment, Classroom Practice, is part of the scavenger hunt and will be explained as students work through those questions.

Please try to have all of these tasks completed by Monday, April 6th.

First Google Meet Meeting:

We are planning to have our first Google Meet meeting on Monday, April 6th. I will be available during 8-10 am as well as 12:30-2:30 pm for students to drop in and say hello. I will be sending an invitation to the Google Meet via their CBE Gmail address. I will also post a link on the Stream tab of our Google Classroom.

This first meeting will be a chance to connect through a video chat and reconnect after being away from the school and classroom. We will also have an opportunity to discuss any questions regarding how to utilize Google Classroom/Meet, assignments given, or any other inquiries.

Kind Regards,

Seann Mahon
