HELLO GRADE 5 COMMUNITY!
YES, WE WILL BE STARTING REMOTE LEARNING TODAY, MONDAY, MARCH 16 TO FRIDAY, MARCH 27TH! WHAT AN ADVENTURE THIS WILL BE!
PLEASE CHECK THE BLOG EVERYDAY FOR YOUR ASSIGNMENTS, AND TRY TO DO THEM....Having trouble? Reread the question or problem, and do the best you can! Of course, I want to help you anyway that I can and WILL BE HOLDING "OFFICE HOURS' VIA THE HOMEROOM GOOGLE CLASSROOM (ACCESS CODE jpy44w2) WHERE YOU CAN MESSAGE ME WITH YOUR QUESTIONS FROM 9AM-11AM. DEACON MURPHY WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE FROM 10:15-12:00 VIA HIS MATH GOOGLE CLASSROOM AS WELL!
ONE OF THE EXPECTATIONS IN GRADE 5 IS THAT WE CARE ABOUT THE "QUALITY, NOT THE QUANTITY" OF OUR WORK...OF COURSE, THIS HAS NOT CHANGED!
WHAT HAS CHANGED IS THAT WE ARE EXPLORING DISTANCE LEARNING RIGHT NOW! IN FACT THIS VERY MOMENT, SO PATIENCE WILL BE REQUIRED! WITH THAT SAID, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SCHEDULING A "MEET" ON GOOGLE CLASSROOM VERY SOON---WHERE I PREDICT PATIENCE WILL BE VERY MUCH NEEDED, INDEED---BUT IT SURE LOOKS LIKE FUN!
***UPDATE: PLEASE PLAN ON OUR FIRST GOOGLE MEET TOMORROW AT 9:00 AM, so we can go over yesterday's work!

MATH (listed on Deacon Murphy's blog)
- Try to go on Khan Academy via our "We Are All Math Fans in Grade 5!" Google Classroom and work for 20 minutes. FYI, something happened when Deacon Murphy named his math class the same as mine, so when I changed my class title, the lessons seems to have disappeared...Nonetheless, URC48F74 is the code. If we have no luck, try Khan Academy directly. I have some fraction action waiting for you there!
