Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had a great long Easter and Passover weekend! I was online a couple of times over the weekend and noticed some other students on and doing assignments, asking questions and posting homework. This is great! However, remember to take a break! You need to go outside, be active and have some family time as well!

Please remember to submit all of your assignments with the same effort that you would use in class. I am working on doing feedback for everyone, but where there is little effort, it's hard. I understand that this is not how you would like to learn, but we have to make the best of what we have!

There are still some students that have not handed in any assignments from week 1, please try to stay on top of the due dates!

Today's information:

Thank you everyone for your work this week and your patients! It's been a learning curve for me, but I think I'm getting the hang of it!
I have updated the Google Homeroom Classroom, I will update this blog and I will be sending out an email on Edsby as well.
Mme. Caughey also just posted a reminder on the Homeroom classroom, check it out.

Happy Easter! There is no "school" tomorrow or Monday!

Happy first day back... Kind of! Haha
It actually went really well, I thought! Thanks for everyone that was on this morning, it was good way to start with everyone just reconnecting.

There are 2 assignments for today:
A media Video message due Wednesday at 1:00, see the homeroom classroom for instructions.

Social Studies Journal Due in the middle May, date is to be determined. 3 entries per week, shared with me for ongoing feedback.

Mme. Caughey has also posted a google form, please complete it.

Thanks again for today, have a great rest of the day!

Tomorrow we will begin with Math (no math textbook needed) and Literacy.

Thanks again, 

Talk tomorrow! 

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope you are excited about tomorrow!! I am hoping that everything will work out, fingers crossed!

I will be online from 8-9am, if you are awake, please log in to the google homeroom classroom and we can have a check in and say hello to everyone! Remember that this time will be used as my office hours, so tomorrow this will be very basic. However, please make sure that you are logged on from 1-2pm, where we review the expectations, assignments and day to day learning. Tomorrow will focus more on reconnecting, saying hi and learning how we are going to continue with online learning.

Moving forward, you are not expected to be logged on from 8-9am unless you have questions, want to share something or are looking for feedback. Our learning and lessons will take place from 1-2pm.

Since we can not use any type of media that has a camera, we are very limited with the communication tools that we are allowed to use. Hopefully this will change as we continue, but for now most of our communication will be you watching videos of my lessons and then working independently on the tasks. I am hoping to post different videos so that you have access to all of the lessons just in case you are not able to be online from 1-2 every day.

Please keep in mind that we are learning as we go and things will probably change as we figure out what works and what does not. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any tasks, difficulties that you are experiencing or have other questions. I will be checking my emails throughout the day and will respond as soon as possible.

Thanks again for your support during this journey, I am looking forward to reconnecting with everyone tomorrow!

Stay safe, be healthy,
Jen Lummiss

More information...

Hi everyone, I hope that you are continuing to stay healthy and active while at home. I have recieved a few emails about the times that I have suggested for our class and learning to begin on Monday. I understand that 8:00am is an hour before school, I am also trying to figure out what will work best for me and allow me to give you my undivided attention. With my 2 little kids at home, I'm sure you can agree that getting time on the computer will be challenging! What I can offer is to switch the learning time and the office hour. Therefore, Monday morning I will be online from 8-9am and willing to talk to anyone that is awake and logged in. Then every day from 1-2pm, I will teach the lessons. As always I will also be online after 7:00pm editing your work and providing feedback. I hope that this will support everyone's learning and excitement to return to learning on Monday. I am sorry for causing any stress that may have occured with the suggested schedule. This will be a learning curve for everyone, including me and I hope that you are up for new experiences, challenges and fun times as we continue on this journey together.
Stay well, talk soon,
Jen Lummiss

Hey everyone!

Hi everyone, it was really nice talking to you or your parents this week and I am really excited to begin some type of communication on Monday.

It is still very unclear about our expectations come Monday. There are 2 documents circulating right now and they are very different, we are trying to figure out which one we are to follow.

What I know as of right now...

My plan at this point is to be online teaching a lesson and communicating with all of you every morning (Monday-Friday) from 8:00-9:00. This is when most of our math lessons will take place. Then I will have an office hour from 1:00-2:00 every afternoon (Monday-Friday) to conference, support and provide feedback with anyone that needs it. 

What will we be learning:

• Math- continue with fractions
• Literacy- independent novel study, exposition essay
• Science- Begin flight unit, we will come back to electricity later
• Social Studies- one big project about Canada and connections around the world

This coming morning, April 6th, please log onto your google account, go into the homeroom classroom and follow the instructions on how to access google meet. 

The code for the Homeroom classroom is: ufes5il

The code for the Math classroom is: lg7qw4f  (the first letter is an "L")

I'm going to attach the Math textbook to the Math classroom tonight. 

Stay active and healthy, 

I'll be in touch soon!
