First Thoughts on Our New Adventure Together

What should you expect?

I will be posting enrichment activities much as possible, hopefully every day.  Even if you and your child do not check in daily, it is important that they are doing something as an enrichment activity (reading, writing, math, coding, science, physical movement).

Here are some things that can be done daily:

1. The Clever Portal is your child's gateway to resources.  Click Here For Clever!
2. Achieve 3000.  I would like the students to complete at least 3 articles per week, doing the Activity that corresponds to the article.
3. Google Classroom.  Get back on track for any missing work.  Students should sign on to Google with their school account.  This will allow them full access to their saved bookmarks, plug-in (Kami) and access to all Google Classroom materials.
4. Read.  Students should find something enjoyable to read.  Please have them complete a simple reading log, noting the following:  Title of Book, # of Pages Read, # of Minutes Read.
5. XtraMath. Daily math facts support.  If you are looking to unplug, then have them create flashcards with multiplication facts. 0-12.
6. Khan Academy.  Not only can your child choose 5th grade specific material, they can access ALL of the learning subjects on Khan Academy for every grade.
7. Coding. Our class has access to Google's CS-First, Tynker, and Scratch.  This should be used to actually learn coding, not just for playing games or listening to music.
