Today's Work - Tuesday January 18, 2022

 Good morning everyone, 

As noted on Google Classroom, I am putting today's assignments here on the blog in case the last minute change to remote learning makes it difficult for families to participate in online learning.

It is expected that you show up for each Google Meet class, but here is the work for you to complete in case you cannot make it.

Social Studies - For Task #4 (Newcomers to Canada Task), please begin answering the reasearch questions from the assignment.  You will be provided with time today, and then one more period - so please use your time wisely.  Please use the APE Strategy and please make sure you use details from the text to support your answers.  You are also encouraged to use PUSH YOUR THINKING PROMPTS.   Please check your private message for this assignment - just in case I left you a personal message.  Not everyone has received one, so don't worry if you don't have one.

Math - Please complete the Check-In Quiz.  The questions are found on slides 16 & 17 of THIS JAMBOARD.  Please write your answers on paper and bring them to class tomorrow.  You are allowed to use your notes, and Jamboard, but you cannot get help from other people.  I am available for questions and will be online all day for you to ask questions.  If you are moving to online learning, please take a picture and attach it to Google Classroom (Unit #9).  If you take a picture, it is fine to do close ups of your page and take multiple pictures.  (Due tomorrow).

Literacy - Using slide #9 of THIS JAMBOARD, please write a second draft of your story.  Make sure you use the prompts & instructions on the Jamboard.  THIS IS A TASK THAT REQUIRES DEEP THINKING!  (Due tomorrow).

Once again, I will be online today, and it is expected that you are online if you are able, but today will be a day where you are given lots of time to get work done, and I will be available for help.

Mr. Carr

Snow Day (Inclement Weather Day) - Monday January 17, 2022

 Good morning everyone, 

This message has also been posted on Google Classroom.

Today is a snow day, so the school will be closed.  Our return to the classroom will be put on hold for one more day.

All work today willl be asynchronous, meaning you can work on the tasks I have placed below, and can work on them at your own pace.  We will not be meeting on Google Meet today, but I will be checking my emails frequently to answer any questions you have.  Please email me at jonathan.carr@yrdsb.ca .

Here are your assignments for the day....

1.  Literacy - Please complete your entire first draft of your story.  By tomorrow, everyone should have the first draft of their story fully completed.

2.  Math - Please review Jamboard slides #1-7 for the Unit #9 - Estimating & Comparing Whole Numbers (Rounding).  We will have a check-in quiz on this tomorrow.  You only need to focus on slides #1-7.  The other slides were "challenge tasks" to help us practice.  The quiz will not cover anything other than sldies #1-7.

3.  Social Studies - Please use today to finish your research for Task #4 - What Was Life Like For Newcomers to Canada?  You will complete the research on your own, starting where you and your group left off.  You will bring all your research together as a group next day.  You can all continue to work in the shared document you have created, but please make sure you contribute - don't let others do all the work.  Any info and ideas you share are meaningful.  If you don't have access to the document, please keep your notes to share with your group next day.  Today is your last research period, but please do not work longer than 1 hour on this.  Once you have reached 1 hour, please stop and move on to something else.  You may not need 1 full hour if your group has used the work time you have already had effectively.   If everyone does their part to contribute research today, then your group should have lots of great info when we come back to class to work on it :)

4.  Phys Ed - Please check the Phys Ed Google Classroom to see if anything has been posted for you to complete.

Please remember, I will be checking my emails frequently to answer your questions..... jonathan.carr@yrdsb.ca

Have a wonderful day!  Hopefully you have a chance to enjoy the snow!
