5th Grade at Bear Creek Elementary
Week 2 - September 2020
Dear Families,
Congratulations on making it through the first week of virtual learning. Each week will get better and better! Even though we have put in many hours over the summer to prepare for this, we are still learning what systems work best for everyone. Thank you for being so patient with us as we iron out any kinks that may still exist. We are so impressed with the level of maturity and responsibility the fifth graders have already shown over our first week of virtual learning! We tried not to give too much work this past week as we were focused on the transition into the use of technology as a primary means of consumption. This week look for more assignments during asynchronous learning. Students are allowed to work on any assignment from any class during asynchronous time.
If your son/daughter has "choice" for specials, they will not log into a zoom call with the special area teacher of their choice. Instead, they will complete asynchronous work for the special area that they choose.
If you have any questions about technology, school work, etc. feel free to visit us during our office hours (2:00 pm - 3:00 pm every day except Wednesdays). If you are unable to attend office hours, please reach out to us via email.
Thank you again for your support and patience (for us and your child)!
Sincerely,
Ms. Harmon and Mr. Linnell
What we're doing in class this week...
SS - We are creating a class “Bill of Rights.” We will have Blend assignments due this week, so please make sure your student is logging into Blend!
Math - We are starting with place value of whole numbers and decimals. We are learning what a PLP (personal learning path) is and how to complete one. We will complete the math diagnostic (beginning of year) test on our own.
Science - We are starting with properties of matter. We are learning what a PLP (personal learning path) is and how to complete one. We will complete the science diagnostic (beginning of year) test on our own.
