Here is what we did today.
Period 1 and 2:
We finished up some math and art at the start. Then we read a couple of chapters from Wayside. Then we went outside and practised 'socially distancing' while in the "J box". After that we talked about our new 'Home Reading/Reading at Home' program (see below). Then we did some writing. We talked about building up our Stamina...and we wrote for 10 minutes.
Period 3 and 4 we had the chromebooks. After a lot of hard work, we were all able to play a 'place value' game on Google Classroom and take a screenshot of our scores...then we added them to a shared document. That was a lot of work! Afterwards I gave them some Prodigy time. The Place Value games we tried are on Google Classroom...lots of good ones to practise at home.
Period 5 Mr. Butt has them for Library/Tech
Period 6 I've got Social studies lined up, but I might have to change up the plans....celebrate their hard work instead!
So, because we can't really take out books, or share my classroom library, we'll need to adapt. I love giving the kids time to read in class...but because of restrictions, I'm unable to do that (at this point). So I'm relying on lots of 'home reading'.
I've set the kids up on Google Classroom with a Home Reading Assignment. Looks like this.

They'll need to track their reading each day (and parents can just need to type in their initials). In order to access the 'reading log' your child will need to log into Google Classroom using their account.
I told the kids that I don't give a lot of homework, but hopefully they can do this! I'm trying my best to not make it too taxing!
