Learning from Home - Week of May 19-22, 2020

Hello again everyone.  I hope you are all staying well and keeping busy at home, with both some school work, and also with other kinds of learning and fun activities with your family!  I also hope you are all trying to be mindful of how much time you spend on your computers and iPads or Tablets when NOT doing your online work?  I am finding that I sometimes have to spend ALL DAY on my computers, doing work!  It is not good for my body or my eyes!!  And it is NOT GOOD FOR YOU either.  So, please try to limit yourself to just going on screen for school work and then to maybe just  a half hour a day on the weekend (if that is okay with your parents!) for free time.   Try it if you aren't already doing that!

Okay... Here is some of the great work that some of you posted in myBlueprint!  I think it is wonderful that we can continue to see what our friends are doing.  Happy reading!


For some of us, this was the first time we did a Sudoku puzzle!  It was fun!  And many of you asked for more.  Thank you for telling me that!

Our ADST challenge this week was to build an airplane using paper and a straw!

Everyone was challenged to test out different designs to see which design flew the best and the furthest!  I received some great videos!  Thank you!

 

It is especially wonderful for me to "hear" what you are thinking about these challenges.  So many of you are writing and "reflecting" about the things you are doing at home. Good learners are the ones that are always thinking about what they did, what they liked, and even how they can improve what they have done! Good for those of you who are doing that everyday!

Another activity this week was to get everyone to think about how they feel about learning at school and from home...

And finally, thank you to all of you for working so hard keeping up with your math and spelling.  And thank your parents for giving you the weekly spelling test! 

I just know, that with everyone trying their best and working so hard from home, when the day comes that we can go back to school again you are going to be so ready for what is ahead of you!

💖

Take care everyone
