Riverdeep


Hello Grade Fives!


Today, you will not actually be responding to the blog. Instead, you will begin exploring a new program, Destination Success. Next week, I will be asking you for your opinion (reason + example) about the program. Please read carefully so that you know what to do when you begin your exploration.

  1. right click to open this link in a new window http://rd.sd91.bc.ca/lms
  2. log in using your initials e.g. mine are jf
    1. Mikael & Parker, you need a 1 after your initials (no space)
  3. your password is the same one you use when signing your blog
  4. once you log in, choose "The Coordinate Plane" (click on ‘go’)
  5. view the tutorial now and you will work on the tasks later today
  6. you will do "Symmetry and Transformations" next

You are all working on becoming effective problem solvers, I would encourage you to continue working on this today. I am not here to help you but you have each other if you get in a bind.

I am very interested in your opinion of this program. As you explore it, please think about what you like (+ examples), what you dislike (+ examples), and how effective you think it is as a learning/practice tool.

Now, please explore!

Love, Mrs. French

Term 3 Learning Behaviours

Hello Grade Fives!

Our second term is now over and you have all continued to work hard on developing good learning behaviours: listening carefully to lessons and instructions, completing work carefully and completely, checking your work over for errors, preparing for quizzes, and asking for help as needed. As we begin our third and final term, I would like you to think about which learning behaviours you are going to work on over the next couple of months.

In today’s response, and in a correct paragraph form, please tell me which behaviours you have chosen. Remember, in the support sentences, to explain how you plan to accomplish these goals. I look forward to reading your responses. I will make every effort to help you accomplish the goal(s) you set.

Love, Mrs. French

Nak'albun


Hello Grade Fives!

Yesterday, we spent a wonderful day at Nak'albun Elementary in Ft. St. James. Today, in a correct paragraph form, I would like you to tell me about what you learned about First Nations’ culture.

As always, I look forward to reading your responses.

Love, Mrs. French
