Week 7 of Distance Learning

Online Learning May 20 - 22

Welcome to our seventh week of online learning. 

Answer keys are now posted for last week’s assignments where applicable. Please note that for Google Form tasks, students are able to see the correct answers as soon as they submit the form, so there are no posted answer keys for those activities.

This week’s assignments and resources are now posted. 

LA (fully integrated into science)

Due to this being such a short week (fewer instructional days) and students having an ongoing research project based in science curriculum, there are no new assignments posted in the LA classroom this week. There is a question for students to answer confirming they understand that they need to check the science classroom.

Math (approx. 1.5 - 2 hours)

This week we are taking a break from algebra to focus on applied math that connects with students’ sky science learning. There are problems for students to solve using provided information, tables, and statistics. The goal on Mathletics this week is to catch up on incomplete assignments from previously covered units, thus no new tasks have been assigned. There is another online basic facts / computation quiz to complete on Google Forms this week, including a few review questions on solving simple algebraic equations.

Social Studies

There is no social studies work this week. Social studies integrated with LA will resume next week.

Science (approx. 1.5 hours, counted as LA time)

This is the second week of Mr. Mueller’s three week sky science research project. Additional links have been posted with resources and examples. See last week’s summary for more information about the project.

Due dates are set for each Sunday as a way of providing structure and keeping work from piling up and becoming overwhelming, but we understand that work may need to be handed in late for various reasons and we would much rather see the work late than not at all. We are trusting that late work is completed honestly and without the use of the answer keys.

All grade six teachers will continue to be available online during school days and can be reached through stream comments, email, comments on student work, and in the daily Google Meets.

Have a great week!
