Quarter 4, April 6 - April 9, Remote Learning Week 3

Hello 4C Families,

You all should have received an email from Mr. Gillingham with your invitation to join google classroom.  We are expecting a learning curve for families and for teachers so content for this week has been paired down to allow for that.We will be using google classroom for the remainder of the year and I am looking forward to this new platform and all we can do with it. It won't be as good as being with you all in person in the classroom but it feels more connected to me than the paper packets we've had for the last two weeks.

I am including some info on google classroom before I discuss lessons for the week.

If you have questions about student login problems, you can go through the Help Desk:  https://theveeya.com/GreatHeartsFamilyHelp/

If you have question is about how to navigate Google Classroom, get assignments, and turn in assignments, you can go to “Google Classroom Family Walkthrough" on the Remote Learning 2.0 Resource Page:  https://www.greatheartsamerica.org/azresources/ 

The Google Classroom Family Walkthrough, which also has videos, is really good.   Here is a direct link to the Google Family Classroom Walkthrough: https://www.greatheartsamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Google-Classroom-Family-Walk-Through-RL-2.0-AFR-4.1.2020.pdf

Please continue to work on XtraMath. If anyone needs login information please reach out and I will forward you the parent flyer. Many of you have been working hard since we have been away from school -- Great Job! 

The students below have completed the following operations in XtraMath:

Any student that completes all four operations will be acknowledged on Arete's Facebook morning announcements and will get a prize from Mr. Gillingham when we are back at school!

Spalding: Students will copy the words once with syllable breaks, rules, and markings while watching the video. They will then copy the words two more times with syllable breaks only. Then students will also practice phonograms.
