Tuesday, January 25th

Hi folks,

I know the home-learning is getting....long. Do what you can. I made videos for each day and for each grade level to help alleviate some stress (https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo). The online programs are simpler and students can be independent.

While I'd like for the home-learning to continue, I also understand that we all have our limits.

If you and/or your child is stressing and need a break, here are some informal learning that I completely encourage. Use them in lieu of the home-learning for the day and pick-up where you left off next time.

Sign-up for this year's Solo Speech Competition. Find the information here: Solo Speech Sign-up | King Street Elementary (nbed.nb.ca)
Check out the live cams at the San Diego Zoo. Talk about habitats, animal needs, environmental changes etc. Live Cams | San Diego Zoo
Build something out of snow as a family like a fort or snow slide (Dad Creates Fun Ice Slide In Backyard - YouTube)
Bake some family recipes or have kids make new ones. Here's a neat site: 19 Easy Recipes That Kids Can Make | Cooking With Kids : Food Network | Food Network
Look through old family photos and show kids how you used to be "fun" in your younger years.

Be well and stay positive. This too shall pass!

New home-learning packages to be picked up

Hi folks,

Next week's home-learning package can be picked up from the school between 8:30-3:30 tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday. If you're unable to make it during those hours, please let me know and we can make other arrangements.

Also, please oh please check out the sway site (https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo) which has and will continue to have "how to" videos which will help your child(ren) - and you - with the work.

I appreciate all your efforts during this time, and I hope it's not giving you folks too much of a headache! Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or if your child just needs a little encouragement or smile.

We will continue to have teams @1pm daily for informal French chatting and listening. Next week we will be writing so I will also have a "drop in" call in the morning. It'll simply be me there should your child need any help with their writing.

Thinking of each one of your silly sweet kids. Thank you again for all your efforts.

January 19th.

Hi everyone!

Home-learning packs are great but don't forget that there are videos with examples found here: https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo. They can really help you out!

Also, at today's team meeting (Wednesday, January 19^th @1pm) students will be wearing a costume! hehe. Brighten things up a little! Please remind them to keep video and microphone on throughout the meeting. It's great to see and chat with them!

As always, feel free to ask me for any help, direction etc.

Memo - January 12th 2022

Hi Everyone!

I hope the first decade of home-learning is .... well, going. I know some are a bit frustrated with teams so I've made a sway site (https://sway.office.com/AyFBGh16LuW6RCYo). This will help me streamline all the videos so everyone has access to them. I will still be using teams @1pm daily where we chat about our work, socialize and play a little game. Please do not hesitate to give me feedback on what's working and what's not. Thinking of you all.
