Shape of the Day – Welcome Back! 8:30 - 8:50am – Record your sleep patterns. 8:50 – 9:00am – Stretch break.  Listen to one or two of your favourite songs and move around. 9:00 – 10:15am – Math.  Remember to check the Math Page.  I am still looking for some students to join Khan Academy.  I have assigned a geometry unit to all students and you will be able to record your progress once you log on and input the class code.  Please make sure to check your email (including the junk folder – sometimes mass emails are automatically sent there) for the code and to see whether or not I have sent you a message to let you know I have you on the roster.  I am unsure of a couple of ...

Good Morning Division 1! Please take note that I have reformatted the blog.  This way, you do not have to try to find the specific day that I posted something if you’d like to review the expectations, but can instead just go directly to that subject.   Shape of the Day – Happy Friday! 8:30 - 8:50am – Record your sleep patterns. 8:50 – 9:00am – Stretch break.  Listen to one or two of your favourite songs and move around. 9:00 – 10:15am – Math.  Remember to check the Math Page.  I am still looking for some students to join Khan Academy.  I have assigned a geometry unit to all students and you will be able to record your progress once you log on and input the class code.  Please make sure to check your email (including the junk folder – sometimes mass emails are automatically sent there) for the code and to see whether or not I have sent you a message to let you know I have you on the roster....

Good Morning Division 1! Many of you have likely noticed that I have been reformatting the blog.  On the home page I will offer a more skeletal shape of the day and then invite you to check out the other pages on the blog, such as Language Arts, Math, Science, Sleep Record, etc….  This way, you do not have to try to find the specific day that I posted something if you’d like to review the expectations, but can instead just go directly to that subject.  I think this will make the “crisis” learning process a bit more streamlined. It was wonderful to see most of your faces yesterday.  I am so proud of the way  you are handling yourselves through this pandemic.  Your families must be really proud of you too.  I look forward to seeing you again the same time next week.  In the meantime, feel free to send me an email if you have any questions, concerns, or just want to share a success.  I'd love to hear from you! Sh...

Good Morning Division 1! Shape of the Day 8:30 - 8:50am – Check in with yourself.  Ask yourself what number you are?  Consider why?   Record in your sleep log what time you went to bed last night (actually fell asleep) and the quality of your sleep (sound/woke up once or twice/tossed and turned) and what time you woke up this morning.  Record any dreams you recall.  Consider if they have any significance to you.  If you need more info on why we are doing this, check last week’s blog entries. 8:50 – 9:00am – Stretch break.  Listen to one or two of your favourite songs and move around. 9:00 – 10:15am – I have sent out a class code to all email addresses (either parents or students or both – if you did not receive one, please check your junk mail, as some group emails are automatically forwarded there).  Please use this code to link your account or to create one.  Once I’ve ...

Hi Parents, I have sent an email to all parents regarding the potential for an upcoming zoom meeting with students next week. If you are interested, please check your email. Warmly, Ms MacInnes

Good Morning Division 1! Shape of the Day 8:30 - 8:50am – Check in with yourself.  Ask yourself what number you are?  Consider why?  If you have not done so already, create a sleep record that you will fill in Monday to Friday until we are out of this “new normal”.  Record what time you went to bed last night (actually fell asleep) and the quality of your sleep (sound/woke up once or twice/tossed and turned) and what time you woke up this morning.  Record any dreams you recall.  Consider if they have any significance to you.  This will be a routine that will be helpful.  It is also a possible science experiment in the making.  This will give you a baseline as to your sleep patterns. I will remind you that sleep hygiene is incredibly important and boosts your immune system.  That could be incredibly useful during this time.  Please see the links below to help structu...
