Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to the last week of the 2019 – 2020 school year. With safety measures being taken to keep us safe during the global pandemic, this has been the most unique of years. Hopefully, this experience will ultimately leave us and leave us stronger and more resilient and resourceful. I hope you all have a wonderful summer with your families and stay safe and healthy.
Students who are attending school today or tomorrow are encouraged to bring a back pack if they have not already taken home their notebooks, art folders, school supplies and other personal belongings. Report Cards will be going home with students on their designated last day, whether that is on the Monday or Tuesday this week. Report cards and personal effects can also be picked up after school, after 3:00 pm, on those days or during the following day, Wednesday. Please, send me an email, text or phone message if you’d like to make an appointment to pick up materials and report cards after school on any of those days. Report cards that are not picked up by the end of the week will be mailed to parent contacts.
As I wrote in my previous correspondence, I have sincerely enjoyed being your child’s teacher this year. It is a group that is diverse yet accepting, strong yet kind and, as I stated above, resilient and resourceful. I wish you all the best! Have a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
Matt Parker

Report cards that are not picked up by the end of the week will be mailed to parent contacts.
As I wrote in my previous correspondence, I have sincerely enjoyed being your child’s teacher this year. It is a group that is diverse yet accepting, strong yet kind and, as I stated above, resilient and resourceful. I wish you all the best! Have a wonderful summer!
Sincerely,
Matt Parker

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Happy Friday! Students are encouraged to bring a back pack if they are in attendance today, as notebooks, art folders and school supplies will be sent home. Report Cards will be going home with students on their designated last day, whether that is on the Monday or Tuesday next week. Report cards and personal effects can also be picked up after school, after 3:00 pm, on those days or the following day, Wednesday. Please, send me a text or give me a call on my cell phone if you’d like to make an appointment to pick up materials and report cards after school on any of those days next week. Report Cards that are not picked up by the end of next week will be mailed to parent contacts.
As a personal favour, I humbly ask students and parents to avoid the custom of year-end gifts to the teacher. It is a custom that many can ill afford. It would give me much greater pleasure to know your time and resources went toward a wonderful family experience. (Go for a hike then get some ice cream, or just go for ice cream to celebrate the end of the school year and the start of summer.) I have sincerely enjoyed being your child’s teacher this year. It is groups like this that give us hope for the future.
IF the whole Covid-19 Crisis has hit your family particularly hard and you are in need of some assistance, please give Laura Platham or Ms. Cho at our school office, 604 892-9307, as we have grocery cards from Walmart and Save On Foods donated to the school to hand out to those in need.
For students attending today and tomorrow, please remember that we have a walking fieldtrip into the Estuary planned for the afternoon, so please bring your permission slips/ notes if you have not done so already.
If you are working from home today, here are a few activities you may wish to pursue:
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “Persephone A Greek Myth.”
2. Ixl exercises involving the meaning of Greek and Latin root words: Level G Section K.5 and
A review of prepositions: Level G Section F.1
3. To increase your keyboarding proficiency you may try, Dancemat Typing Program.
4. You may wish to check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’ portal. (According to the site’s tracking software, our class members have read 400 books!)
Math:
Since being good with money is important, try ixl exercises: Level G Section I.1 and I.2 .

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Welcome to Wednesday! I’m looking forward to seeing many of our grade six students (There are only 12 of you.) today at 12:00 for our Grade six Grad Ceremony in class. I’ve ordered lots of pizza and already set up the long socially distanced banquet table. I’ll meet the lined-up grade sixes at the back-field school entrance, our standard entrance and exit for the past month.
If you are unable to make it but wish to say hi to your peers, I’ve provided a Google Meet link where that may be possible. Join with Google Meet
meet.google.com/qom-dnhx-vhf
For students attending classes, we are also planning a walking fieldtrip into the Estuary on the afternoon of June 18thand 19th. Please bring your permission slips or permission note to school. If you are working from home today, here are a couple activities you may wish to pursue
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “Ancient Greek and Roman Gods.”
2. Ixl exercises involving the meaning of Greek and Latin root words: Level G Sections K.3 & K.4.
3. To increase your keyboarding proficiency you may try, Dancemat Typing Program.
4. If you don’t have a reading book on the go, you may wish to check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
Since is about time for you to begin mapping out your summer, try the following ixl exercise: Level G Section Q.3. If you’d like to explore more math follow your ixl recommendations or look to those assignments that you may have missed earlier in the year.
French
Now you might think that “aller” to go is an -er verb, but it happens to be the one and only -er verb that I know, that is irregular. Here is an annoying song to learn the conjugation of "aller". (It does not follow the -er verb pattern.) Play it loud! (Unless there is someone else is in the room!-)

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
This is essentially a repeat of yesterday’s suggested assignments for those students who were in attendance on-site yesterday. The grade sixes who were in attendances received their immunization boosters. The public Health Nurse may be in touch to make alternate arrangements for those students learning from home.
There were some inquiries as to whether there would be a grade six graduation ceremony. There will not be a whole school assembly or ceremony. Graduation certificates will be drawn up. Mr. Parker’s grade 6’s are invited to attend an informal grad gathering in class Wednesday, June 17 at noon to 1:00 for a pizza luncheon. As we have done since our June 1st return, we will use our emergency exit onto the back field to enter the school. We would observe all physical distancing protocols that we have been observing at school since our return. Grade sixes could also choose to order their own pizza and join us from home using Wednesday’s provided Google Meet link.
For students attending classes, we are also planning a walking fieldtrip into the Estuary next week on the afternoons of June 18th and 19th. Permission slips are being sent home with students in attendance.
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “Oddyseus and the Bag of Wind.” [No this story is not about your teacher!-) (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Ixl exercises Level G Section K.1 and Level G Section K.2 involving the meaning of Greek and Latin root words (phonemes).
3. To increase your keyboarding proficiency you may try, Dancemat Typing Program.
4. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
As a hopefully quick reminder of multiplication and division problem solving, try the following ixl exercises: Level G Sections I.3, I.4 & I.5. You can practice your paper and pencil multiplication and division while doing the problem solving and check your responses with a calculator.

Happy Monday, everyone! This will be the last week of Class Communications at for the purpose of learning from home. If there are any positive outcomes to come out of the Pandemic precautions, perhaps one might be this generation of students who have become accustomed to accessing technology to access education, a skill that will no doubt facilitate the development of life-long learning and problem solving.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Happy Friday! If you are working from home and completed the activities below yesterday, then follow your ixl recommendations or go back to assignments that you may have previously missed. If you have been keeping up with all of this daily work from day one, well, you deserve a day off! Check out the ILT learning link below. Perhaps, set yourself a goal to read your present favourite book, play a math game and, using three mismatched socks rolled into sock balls, see if you can learn how to juggle. Enjoy.
There have been some inquiries as to whether there will be a grade six graduation ceremony. There will not be a whole school assembly or ceremony. Graduation certificates will be made up and included with final report cards. Mrs. Parker and I are looking in to the possibility of having just our grade sixes (~1/2 a class) attend on Wednesday, June 17 at noon to 1:00 for a pizza luncheon. We would observe all physical distancing protocols that we have been observing at school since our return. Grade sixes could also choose to order their own pizza and join us from home using a provided Google Meet link. For students attending classes, we are also planning a walking fieldtrip into the Estuary next week on the afternoons of June 18th and 19th. Permission slips are being sent home with students in attendance.
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “The Amazing Amazon”. (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Review the list of subordinate conjunctions and then you may wish to re-watch the video on subordinating conjunctions (if needed) here before working to complete the ixl exercises Level G Section G.3. Then, watch the Khan Academy video on Correlative conjunctions and then complete Level G Section G.4 and Level G Section G.5.
3. To increase your keyboarding proficiency you may try, Dancemat Typing Program.
4. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
As we address skills that will serve you well in the future, we should practice multiplication and division of money amounts. Toward that end, practice multiplying decimals by whole numbers using paper and pencil rather than a calculator to complete ixl Level G Section H.3 and Level G Section H.4. If you need a reminder on how to multiply decimals, watch this brief video lesson.
Social Studies
Review the Kiddle website article on Indigenous peoples to answer the following questions in a Google doc.
1. Who are Indigeneous people?
2. How have they often been treated by colonial powers?
3. Globally, where are Indigeneous people found?
4. What was the impact of European colonization of the Americas on the Indigeneous communities’ populations?
5. What happened in 1999 to give Canada’s Inuit more autonomy?
6. How many “uncontacted peoples” are there in Brazil?
7. In your opinion, what can be done to help Indigeneous peoples?
French
Watch the short video on -er verbs. Can you guess the answers before they are provided?
P.E.
Pursue an activity for at least 30 minutes that will make you stronger and more fit.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
If you are working from home, here are some activities which reflect, to some degree, what we are working on in school. Keep on keeping on advancing those reading, writing and math skills!
Grade sixes, you may be interested in taking the Don Ross Middle School virtual tour by clicking on the supplied link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E6I-801RME&feature=youtu.be.
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “The Amazing Amazon”. (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Review the list of subordinate conjunctions and then you may wish to re-watch the video on subordinating conjunctions (if needed) here before working to complete the ixl exercises Level G Section G.3. Then, watch the Khan Academy video on Correlative conjunctions and then complete Level G Section G.4 and Level G Section G.5.
3. To increase your keyboarding proficiency you may try, Dancemat Typing Program.
4. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
As we address skills that will serve you well in the future, we should practice multiplication and division of money amounts. Toward that end, practice multiplying decimals by whole numbers using paper and pencil rather than a calculator to complete ixl Level G Section H.3 and Level G Section H.4. If you need a reminder on how to multiply decimals, watch this brief video lesson.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Welcome to Wednesday. Happy Birthday Sam! Watch out for flying monkeys!!!
Here are some learning activities you can pursue to expand your skill base and reinforce your previous learning. Enjoy! (Apologies if you were looking for an email yesterday that did not arrive, I did send out a daily communication yesterday morning but I see that MyEdBC did not send it out until late afternoon. The site was shut down over the weekend for service and it appears to be having some issues. I will also post daily communications on our class website, mparkerses.weebly.com. )
Grade sixes, you may be interested in taking the Don Ross Middle School virtual tour by clicking on the supplied link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E6I-801RME&feature=youtu.be.
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “Symbiotic Wildlife”. (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Complete the ixl exercises on coordinate conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or, yet, so), Level G Section G.1 and Level G Section G.2.
3. To increase your keyboarding proficiency you may try, Dancemat Typing Program.
4. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
As you may recall, a polygon is a closed figure with straight sides. A regular polygon has every side the same length and every angle the same as well like a square or equilateral triangle. Polygons: triangle 3-sided, quadrilateral 4-sided, pentagon 5-sided, hexagon 6-sided, heptagon 7-sided, octagon 8-sided, nonagon 9-sided, decagon 10-sided, dodecagon 12-sided. Test your understanding with ixl Level H Section Z.1. Use the provided protractors to measure the following angles in Level H Section Z.2. As a review to earlier work, classify the angles in Level H Section Z.3.
Science
Using what you learned from the Raz Kids story above or from one of the videos below and Google docs, write a short 3 to 10 sentence paragraph explaining what symbiosis is and providing one example which shows it and how each organism benefits from the presence of the other, mutualism.
To really fine tune your understanding of symbiosis, watch this video which explains the three types of symbiotic relationships by Stated Clearly. The following video shows another example:
National Geographic Amazing Symbiosis: Ant Army Defends Tree in Costa Rica
French
For a quick review, watch the short video on how to conjugate -er verbs. Do you remember which verb endings go with the pronouns: Je, Tu, Il, Elle, On, Ils, Elles, Vous, and Nous?
P.E.
Get outside and elevate your heart rate for at least ½ an hour with some intense play.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Happy Tuesday! – Grade five and sixes, if you are working exclusively from home and completed most of the suggested activities below yesterday, update your ixl diagnostic and follow its recommendations for suitable activities. You may also catch up on Raz Kids, ixl and other assignments that you may have not completed earlier. There are also a myriad of suggested learning activities suggested in the ILT learning link at the bottom of your page. How fast and proficient are your keyboard skills? Try this BBC sponsored Dancemat Typing Program to increase your keyboarding proficiency.
Grade sixes, you may be interested in taking the Don Ross Middle School virtual tour by clicking on the supplied link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E6I-801RME&feature=youtu.be.
Although overnight camps have been cancelled this summer due to Covid-19 health concerns, I understand that some day camps may operate. Evans Lake Camp has provided some information at the following link should you like to learn more about what they are offering this summer. https://evanslake.com/camp/new-day-camp/.
I have outlined some learning activities you may choose to pursue from the comfort of your own home, a tent fort built in your bedroom or a hammock swaying in the rain.
In our partial, optional reopening, students with last names beginning with A to L may attend Mondays and Thursdays while those with last names beginning with M to Z may attend Tuesdays and Fridays. Our designated entry is the one that we normally use as an emergency exit onto the back field.
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “Biomimicry”. (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Watch the Khan Academy video explaining complex sentences then complete the ixl exercise Level G Section A.9. (You can review the lessons on simple and compound sentences in the previous updates and watch a video on compound-complex sentences here.)
3. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
Watch the quick lesson which explains how the interior angles of triangles total 180 degrees while the interior angles of quadrilaterals total 360 degrees then complete the following ixl exercise, Level H SectionZ.9, to find the missing angles in triangles and quadrilateral. It will also be helpful to know that isosceles triangles have two equal angles and the opposite angles in parallelograms are also equal. To go beyond a smart score of 90 in Section Z.9, you will need to apply an understanding of equivalent ratios.
An extension for perhaps later in the week: Each time a side is added to a polygon, the sum of the interior angles increases by 180 degrees so a pentagon totals 540 degrees, a hexagon 720, heptagon 900, octagon 1080. This knowledge will be essential if you wish to challenge yourself on Level H Section Z.10. This concept is covered well in the following Khan Academy video, here, but is also explained if one makes a mistake in Section Z.10.
Science
Watch the video on different types of adaptations. In a google doc. Answer the following:
1. What are the three types of animal adaptions?
2. Provide examples of: (Where would you place porcupine spines, migration and hibernation?)
a. Structural adaptations:
b. Behavioral adaptations:
c. Physiological adaptations:
3. In what way does a snail represent each type of adaptation?
French
Watch the short 3 ½ minute video to review how to conjugate common -er verbs. Can you follow the pattern and remember which verb endings go with the pronouns: Je, Tu, Il, Elle, Ils, Elles, Vous, and Nous?
P.E.
Get outside and elevate your heart rate for at least ½ an hour with some intense hiking, running, skipping, jumping, cycling or playing.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Welcome to Friday! For the Monday – Thursday Group and those of you who are learning from home, I’ve outlined some activities below. If you are learning from home and completed the work below yesterday, update your ixl diagnostic and follow their learning reccommendations.
In our partial, optional reopening, students with last names beginning with A to L attend Mondays and Thursdays while those with last names beginning with M to Z attend Tuesdays and Fridays. Health officials and school administrators have suggested that grade sixes may attend one day a week but if home learning has not worked well for them, they may attend on both days as this will not compromise our ability to physically distance in class or around the school. Our designated entry is the one that we normally use as an emergency exit onto the back field.
L.A.
1. Read the Raz Kids reading selection called, “Camouflage”. (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Watch the Khan Academy video explaining complex sentences then complete the ixl exercise Level G Section A.8. (You can review the lessons on simple and compound sentences in the previous updates and watch a video on compound-complex sentences here.)
3. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
Watch the lessons on reducing fractions to lowest terms here and here then complete the following ixl exercises Level G Section K.5. Hungry for more? Watch this lesson on comparing fractions and complete this exercise Level G Section K.7.
Science
If you are attending school on Thursday or Friday, we will be constructing our own camouflage creatures. If you’re working from home, you can create your own creature from odds and ends you can find around the house or outdoors. You may find inspiration from these two videos:
1. 10 Amazing Camouflage Animals or 2. Wildlife in Disguise.

Dear Students and Parents:
For those of you returning to school for the second half of this week, “Welcome back!” For those of you who are learning from home, I’ve outlined some activities below.
In our partial, optional reopening, students with last names beginning with A to L attend Mondays and Thursdays while those with last names beginning with M to Z attend Tuesdays and Fridays.

Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Wednesday! As all students will be learning from home today, I have outlined some suggested activities that will expand your knowledge and skill-base while hopefully providing some entertainment. Our District’s Integrated Learning Team has produced a menu of educational activities that you may also choose to pursue below in the link below. I have scheduled a Google Meet at 11:00 for students who wish to check in to ask questions and review some of our previous learning activities such as how to structure a paragraph.

Watch the Khan Academy videos on fractions on a number line, and equivalent fractions on a number line. Then complete the ixl exercises: Level G section K. 2, Level G Section K.4 and if those were just too easy, try Level G Section K.6.
Science
Watch the following videos on camouflage and mimicry: Camouflage: Animal Hide & Seek, Animal Tricksters, and the Amazing Animal Camouflage Compilation. As a fun project try this. Using odds and ends that you can find around your house or yard, create your own model of a creature which displays mimicry or camouflage in the appropriate environment. You may take some inspiration from today’s Raz Kids reading selection on amazing animal discoveries. As an optional project, you may choose to create your own slide show or video displaying examples of camouflage and mimicry.
French
Make a list of what you think are the 5 to 10 most important -er verbs that every student your age should know to have a fun trip to France… or Quebec. Go ahead and google a list of -er verbs to help you decide.

Dear Students and Parents:
Happy Friday. I’m looking forward to our class meeting at 10:00 today. It is a chance for students to share and see classmates. I also have appointments to meet with Matthew at 9:30 and Sam at 11:00. Please feel free to drop into the virtual classroom between 11:30 and 1:30 if you missed your appointment(s) earlier in the week, have any questions or need help with any of your assignments.

L.A.
1. The previous Raz Kids reading selection from yesterday suggested that humans, homo sapiens, may be the most invasive species on the planet. Read “Seven Billion and Counting” in Raz Kids which will provide a cautionary tale for us and our use of resources. (Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Complete the ixl exercises: Level G Section A.5 and Level G Section A.6 which provide a review on identifying sentences, sentence fragments and run on sentences.
3. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math:
First practice using the concepts of “congruency” (same size and shape) and “similarity” (same shape but different sizes) in Level G Section X.6. Then, watch the 7-minute Khan Academy lesson on transformational geometry here. Execute the suggested transformations (translations, reflections and rotations) in Level G Section X.5 but only proceed to a “Smart score” of just over 80 as you will not be able to push past a “smart score” of 90 without the use of pencil and paper and graph paper to execute the suggested transformations to see where the shapes end up.
Science
For flashback Friday, watch the short video on food chains & food webs. Upon completion, you should be able to define the role of producers (plants), primary consumers (herbivores), secondary consumers (carnivores), and decomposers. If you have not done so already, apply your artistic and scientific skills to draw a food chain and a food web.
Social Studies
The ixl reading selection above, “Seven Billion and Counting” has a social studies theme. As responsible global citizens, we should seek to understand the challenges facing the planet and use resources in a manner so they will be available to future generations.
P.E.
Set your own exercise goal then set out to achieve it. Enjoy today’s sunshine!

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Wednesday. We are continuing to prepare the school for the return of students on June 1st. Ms. Cho emailed a letter yesterday with more information about the reopening. Here is a summary. Students were divided into two groups based on last names so siblings would be in attendance on the same days.
• Group A: Ammr, Ailish, Matthew, Sena, David, Marcus, Alix, Hayden, RB, Bhargav
• Group B: Sage, Troy, Sam, Veronica, Kevin, Gene, Tora, Cody, Cohen, Aaliyah, Belle
• Group A will come 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Mondays & Thursdays.
• Group B will come 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Tuesdays & Fridays.
The Provincial guidelines suggest that grade sixes need only attend once a week (the Monday or the Tuesday) unless they are in the vulnerable category for which online schooling is not working well or parents are essential service workers. (If attending, it would have been my preference to see the sixes twice a week on the same schedule with their grade 5 peers, but it has been suggested that the grade sixes, being somewhat older can cope with online learning better and more significantly are at a greater risk to the Covid-19 virus; although, we intend to conduct ourselves at school in a manner that makes the transmission of any illness negligible.)
As a matter of routine:
• We will greet students at 8:50 at door G, behind the school near the hall stairs closest to our class. (It is the same door that we typically use for fire drill evacuations.)
• We will review routines for health and safety. These are described in Ms. Cho's notices.
• We have been encouraged to be outside as much as possible, so students should dress for the weather.
• At 9:30 each day Mon. to Fri. whether students are in school or at home, I hope we can share a novel study in person or online depending on the location of the students.
• Students need to bring their own snack, lunch and water. There will not be a breakfast or lunch program. The water fountains have been closed, but water bottles can be refilled.
• On Wednesdays, I hope to touch base with those students who are learning from home and need assistance with online learning exercises.
Thanks to those of you who let us know who will be returning to school and who will be remaining at home during our first week of June.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Wednesday. We are continuing to prepare the school for the return of students on June 1st. Ms. Cho emailed a letter yesterday with more information about the reopening. Here is a summary. Students were divided into two groups based on last names so siblings would be in attendance on the same days.
• Group A: Ammr, Ailish, Matthew, Sena, David, Marcus, Alix, Hayden, RB, Bhargav
• Group B: Sage, Troy, Sam, Veronica, Kevin, Gene, Tora, Cody, Cohen, Aaliyah, Belle
• Group A will come 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Mondays & Thursdays.
• Group B will come 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Tuesdays & Fridays.
The Provincial guidelines suggest that grade sixes need only attend once a week (the Monday or the Tuesday) unless they are in the vulnerable category for which online schooling is not working well or parents are essential service workers. (If attending, it would have been my preference to see the sixes twice a week on the same schedule with their grade 5 peers, but it has been suggested that the grade sixes, being somewhat older can cope with online learning better and more significantly are at a greater risk to the Covid-19 virus; although, we intend to conduct ourselves at school in a manner that makes the transmission of any illness negligible.)
As a matter of routine:
• We will greet students at 8:50 at door G, behind the school near the hall stairs closest to our class. (It is the same door that we typically use for fire drill evacuations.)
• We will review routines for health and safety. These are described in Ms. Cho's notices.
• We have been encouraged to be outside as much as possible, so students should dress for the weather.
• At 9:30 each day Mon. to Fri. whether students are in school or at home, I hope we can share a novel study in person or online depending on the location of the students.
• Students need to bring their own snack, lunch and water. There will not be a breakfast or lunch program. The water fountains have been closed, but water bottles can be refilled.
• On Wednesdays, I hope to touch base with those students who are learning from home and need assistance with online learning exercises.
Thanks to those of you who let us know who will be returning to school and who will be remaining at home during our first week of June.
I look forward to seeing many of you today at our small group meetings between 10:00 am and noon today. I’ve also scheduled a few individual meetings as well: 12:30 Tora, 1:00 Marcus, 1:30 Alix, 2:00 Cohen, and 2:30 Yebin.

Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Wednesday. At our staff meeting yesterday, we heard that half of our class would attend Monday and Thursday while the other half would attend Tuesday and Friday. A District learning hub would also provide opportunities for continued online learning while not in attendance. There will be more information coming from the office to explain the school re-opening in greater detail. In the meantime, here are some learning activities with which students can engage.
I look forward to seeing many of you today at our small group meetings between 10:00 am and noon today. I’ve also scheduled a few individual meetings as well: 12:30 Tora, 1:00 Marcus, 1:30 Alix, 2:00 Cohen, and 2:30 Yebin.

His story continues to inspire others to build a better world. Log in using “SquamishElementary” for teacher name and your personal password is your last name.)
2. Watch the Khan Academy tutorial on the three types of sentences then identify the sentence types in the ixl exercise Level F Section A.1 where they will also include a fourth type of sentence, the exclamatory sentence which ends in an exclamation mark (and in reality could also be declarative, imperative or interrogative).
3. For independent reading practice and pleasure, check out Epic Books using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math
1. If you only have time for one instructional video on converting fractions to decimals, watch this one here. If you’d like more description on how to express base 10 fractions as decimals then try this Math Antics video or this short Khan Academy video. (I do hope that much of this is familiar as we worked on the concept of equivalent base ten fractions and decimals when we explored percent earlier this year, so to some degree this is a review.)
2. Try completing these ixl practice exercises: Level G F.12 (converting fractions to decimals) and converting decimals to fractions, Level G Section F.13.
Science
By referring to this Wikipedia article and the attached diagram, draw, label and colour your own diagram of the urinary system. (Include the kidneys, ureter, bladder, urethra and blood supply.) Add a 1 to 3 sentence summary which explains what the urinary system does and how it works. We will add this to your science book when you return to school in June.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome back. I hope you all had a wonderful May long weekend. You have probably heard that in-school classes will resume for half of the class at a time two days a week beginning June 1st. I’ll provide more information as it is made available. The school will be communicating its plan to partially re-open directly to parents. I am exceptionally proud of and impressed by the commitment to home learning made by many of you during the school closures and physical distancing.
I am sorry to have missed those of you who I normally meet with on Mondays; I’ll attempt to schedule another meeting time later in the week. I look forward to seeing you all at our small group meetings on Wednesday from 10:00 to noon. Today, the following students are encouraged to click into the virtual classroom at your appointed times: 9:30 David, 10:00 Hayden, 10:30 Matthew, (11:00 – 12:00 Staff meeting) 12:00 Gene, 12:30 Troy, 1:00 RB, 1:30 Aaliyah, 2:00 Cody, 2:30 Belle.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Happy Monday! I hope you and your families had a tremendous weekend and are all well. I’ve outlined some learning activities below to help maintain our academic progress. Thanks to Gavin who suggested the Art activity to me on Thursday; it is really neat! It is like on-line Pictionary. (If you have encountered a cool site or activity with educational merit that will help us learn and have fun, let me know and I’ll check it out!-) Happy Learning! Remember to smile; it releases endorphins (hormones) that are good for your brain.
Students are welcome to “pop” into the virtual classroom to ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet. In an effort to check in with students on an individual basis at least once or twice a week, I’ve arranged for the following student contact schedule. Students, you are encouraged to step into the “virtual classroom” by clicking the “Join with Google Meet” link below at your appointed times:
9:30 Ammr, 10:00 Sena, 10:30 Cody, 11:00 Bhargav, 11:30 Veronica, 12:00 Anna, 12:30 Marcus, 1:00 Belle, 1:30 Maura, 2:00 Aaliyah…

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Thanks for continuing to engage in daily learning exercises and expanding your knowledge and skill base. Tomorrow is a professional development day so I will not be posting any new work for students. I will be looking into ways to enrich our on-line learning experience. I hope you and your families have a tremendous weekend. I hear that we have some summer weather coming to help encourage us to get outside to recreate.

L.A.
1. On Raz-Kids read “Mexico’s Fight for Independence.” and complete the related assignment. Remember to log in using “SquamishElementary” and your password is your last name.)
2. Complete ixl English exercises involving adjectives and adverbs Level F section F.7 and Level F section F.8.
3. Epic Books can be accessed using our class code svh5092 in the students’/ educators’ portal.
Math
1. Complete the problem-solving exercises involving money and the perimeter and area of rectangles and squares, Level G section Z.5. You can use a calculator if you wish. There are online calculators if you do not have one at home or on your computer or iPad.
2. Use the internet, if you need to, to draw the following polygons: a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, a heptagon, an octagon, a nonagon, a decagon and a dodecagon.
Social Studies
Finish up and share your country reports. Thanks to everyone who has already submitted them!
Today’s Raz-kids reading selection about how Mexico gained its independence from Spain follows our grade six social studies theme understanding the effects of colonialism on countries. What were the three early empires that predated the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico? How did the arrival of the Spanish affect the lives of the Indigenous people? How did the Mexicans gain their independence from Spain? Hopefully, as you read the Raz kids book on Mexico’s Fight for independence you will make connections to what we’ve learned about and discussed in Social Studies earlier in the world. Everything you learn about our world and its history makes you a more well-informed, knowledgeable global citizen.
Science
Watch the 12 minute You-tube video, “The Nervous System – Crash Course Biology.” (It has more detail and description than what we are expected to know, but it is very thorough and accurate.) Open a Google Doc and explain in your own words what happens when (a) you reach out to grab a piece of pizza that is too hot and (b) you take a bite of delicious pizza. Start from the message sent from the sensory nerves in your taste buds. See if you can explain what happens in six sentences or less.
(You do not have to go into all the detail involving the sodium / potassium gradient that creates the chemical-electrical signal that travels through your dendrites and axons of your neurons and nerve cell bundles. Be general or as specific as you like.)
PE
Keep on practicing the juggling.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Thursday, April 30. At the following times, I plan to contact the following students. To save time, you may wish to join the “Google Meet” below at your appointed time. Thanks for all the work you are doing at home to maintain the continuity and momentum of pushing the boundaries of your education horizon.
Contact schedule: 9:00 Cody, 9:30 Sage, 10:00 Kevin, 10:30 Matthew, 11:00 Yebin, 11:30 Alix, 12:00 Anna, 1:00 Maura (1:00 Belle with Lydia) 2:00 Kyler{I will also reach out to those of you who appear to perhaps need some help with the daily assignments. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions. It was great to see and hear from most of you yesterday!}
Thursday’s Virtual Meeting Site for Google Meet Student Conferencing:
Link removed.
For today:
L.A.
1. Write a riddle poem (aka a sneaker poem) and submit it to me using Google docs. Open Google Chrome, go to the “waffle” click on it, open a blank Google Doc, write your riddle, then “share” with me and any classmates you wish to include. A sneaker poem gives three (or more) clues that gradually sneak up on the answer to the riddle. Here are some examples:
I have four sides which, Perched in a tree, Big black volcano core
Are all the same length, With a hooked yellow beak, like a rotting tooth
But I have no 90-degree angles. Wintering in Squamish, in Garibaldi Park
Who am I? For its salmon I seek.
A rhombus. The eagle. Black Tusk
2. Raz Kids reading exercise, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. Remember to log in using “SquamishElementary” and your password is your last name.)
3. Complete ixl English Practice Level F Sections D.7 Use the correct subject or verb (practicing subject – verb agreement) and Section D.8 Pronoun – verb agreement.
4. Remember, Epic Books can be accessed using our class code svh5092 if you are searching for a good book to read. Log in through the students’ and educators’ portal.
Math
We are going to tackle quite a number of concepts today starting with classifying triangles. Triangles can be classified by their angles:1. If all angles are less than 90 degrees, then you have an acute triangle, 2. One angle is 90 degrees then you have a right triangle, and if one of the three angles is 91 degrees or more (obtuse) then you have an obtuse triangle. Triangles can also be classified according to their side lengths. If no sides are the same length (they are all different) then you have a scalene triangle, if two sides and two angles are the same then you have an isosceles triangle and if all sides are the same length and all angles are 60 degrees then you have an equilateral triangle. See how quickly and accurately you can complete level G sections W.7 Classify triangles, W.8 Identify parallel sides, W.9 Identify parallelograms (quadrilateral shapes with two pairs of parallel sides), W.10 Identify trapezoids (quadrilaterals with one pair of parallel sides), W.11 Identify rectangles (a quadrilateral with four 90 degree angles [includes squares]), W.12 Identify rhombuses (a quadrilateral with 4 sides of equal lengths [includes squares]) & W.13 Classify quadrilaterals.
Social Studies
Add illustrations, maps and graphs to your country research report and note your sources of the images to list in your Bibliography.
Science
Review the Kids Health website which explains What’s Blood?, Using a single piece of paper illustrate and label what is in our blood. Describe what each part does: the plasma, the red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Ever wonder what organs you could perhaps live without? Well check out this Ted Ed video to learn something new about your body and its organs. 7 organs that you could live without
PE
Go outside and get some exercise while practicing your physical distancing.
French (An introduction to -er verbs)
Provide the French word for each of the following:
To listen, to talk, to sing, to watch, to walk, to dance, to like, to hate, to eat, to close,
Answers (scrambled below):
{fermer, chanter, marcher, regarder, parler, écouter, arrêter, danser, manger, aimer, detester}
Art/Math
Draw and label illustrations of a regular quadrilateral= square, rhombus, trapezoid, parallelogram, rectangle and irregular quadrilateral with no sides the same length. Colour each one a different colour to remember the features of each type of quadrilateral.
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call, text or email.

Before sending it, check it with the outline re-posted yesterday to make sure you included each of the subtopics: Introduction, Geography, Demographics, History, Government, Economy, Culture, Conclusion, Bibliography (sources). If it is not yet done, try completing one subtopic each day to complete it by this time next week. Add a map and illustrations to enhance the presentation. These can be copied from the internet as long as you credit your source, the website that they came from. Use your own words for the report. Do not just copy sections out of Wikipedia. Practice your own writing and presentation.
Science
Watch the Bill Nye video on Blood and Circulation. Take notes to identify the five most important facts contained in the video. Write your top five favourite facts from the video in a Google doc and send them to me. (Enjoy!) More Google docs practice.
PE
Be like Bill, get your heart rate up with some intensive exercise. What is your favourite way to exercise your heart and skeletal muscles?

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Monday, April 27. I hope you had a fine weekend. It is hard to believe that we have been at this for four weeks, (six weeks if one measures from the beginning of Spring Break when we began our “social distancing” measures now more accurately identified as “physical distancing.”) I hope you are well.
To quickly establish some sense of routine and keep our learning on track, we began these daily exercises and have gradually added a few different learning sites. We will continue to do so until we are permitted to return to our traditional school setting. Remember, some of the most important learning that you can do during this time is offline helping your families with cooking, cleaning, teaching your younger siblings, gardening and helping out around the house. THANK-YOU to parents who have naturally stepped in to help keep your children engaged and motivated to learn. I greatly appreciate your efforts and hope that your children feel the same, if not now then in the future. I will attempt to touch base with all students today and tomorrow independently between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm and look forward to our small group meetings on Wednesday morning.
Teaching Nook for Google Meet student conferencing:

For today:
L.A.
1. Raz Kids reading exercise, Lost Cities. (Consider: Why were they abandoned? Was it a pandemic, natural disaster, environmental change, do we even know?) Remember to log in using “SquamishElementary” and your password is your last name.)
2. ixl grammar exercises Level F sections J 10 Formatting Titles & J 12 Punctuating dialogue. If you are a completist, you can try J 11, formatting and capitalizing titles
3. If you do not have your own novel on the go try choosing something from Epic Books.
Math
In Math today, first, watch the short Khan Academy Tutorial on Multiplying a decimal by a power of 10, then, try the Level G Section H 2 ixl exercise where you will multiply a different decimals by different powers of ten such as 10, 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 and 1 000 000. [Multiplying by 10 moves the decimal one place while multiplying by 100 makes the decimal factor two decimal places larger and 1000 makes it three decimal places larger. 0.36x10=3.6, 0.36 x 100 = 36, 0.36 x 1000 = 360, 0.36 x 10 000 = 3600, 0.36x 100 000= 36 0000, etc.]
Try completing the ixl Math Diagnostic if you have not already done so. If you have completed it, select one of the recommended skill areas to work on.
Social Studies
“Handing in” Social Studies reports on your country when it is complete by copying it (copy and paste in the Edit menu) and place it in a Google doc while logged into your account, (computer log-in name)@sd48.org. You can then hit the “SHARE” button in the top right corner. If you start typing mparker, then my school email, [email protected], should pop. Today’s Raz Kids reading selection on Lost Cities has a Social Studies theme, so we can count that as some daily Social Studies if you read it and complete the accompanying assignment.
Science
Watch this short, informative 4:27 Ted Ed video explaining how the heart actually pumps blood then answer these three questions: 1. What basic function does the heart do?
2. What are the two loops in the “figure eight” circulation of your blood? Why are there two loops? (We will discuss this in our small group meeting on Wednesday.
3. Approximately how many times does an average human heart beat over the course of its life? For extra information and perhaps an even deeper explanation, watch this video on the heart and circulatory system from the Mayo Clinic. For a bonus challenge and to deepen your own understanding, draw, label and colour the heart diagram below.
PE
Get your heart rate up with some intensive exercise. Start slow then speed up jogging, skipping, cycling or doing jumping jacks. Can you keep going for 15 to 20 minutes? When you stop, note your breathing and rate of heart beats. Can you feel your pulse (the surge of blood) in your wrist or neck? How long does it take for you to return to your resting heart rate?
French (An introduction to -er verbs)
Do you remember the following -er verbs from last week? If not then re-watch the video, Simon Dit. Or use a French – English dictionary or website to translate: 1. Fermer= _______________, 2. Chanter= ___________, 3. Marcher= _________, 4. Regarder= ____________ 5. Parler= ____________, 6. Ecouter= _____________, 7. Arreter= _____________, 8. Danser= ___________, 9. Telephoner= _______________, 10. Manger= _____________, 11. Aimer= _______________, 12. Detester= _______________.(accents missing)
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call, text or email. I will attempt to call and touch base with as many students as possible this morning.
Best wishes,

In Math today, first, watch the short Khan Academy tutorial on estimating products here, then, try the Level G Section C8 Estimating Products. Example: 38 x 52 ~ ….. 38 rounds to 40 and 52 rounds to 50 so the estimate would be 40 x 50. Now 4 x 5 = 20 but with 4 ten times bigger 40 and 5 ten times bigger 50, 40 x 50 = 2000 (100 times larger than 4x5).
CONGRATULATIONS to those of you who have been working your way through the ixl Diagnostic . Keep up the excellent work in Math! Your future self will thank you for the effort you put in today on these exercises to build math fluency.
Social Studies
Find pictures, maps or graphs you’d like to include in your report. Copy, cut & paste.
Science
Watch the short Ted Ed video on “How do Lungs Work?” then answer the questions below. You may wish to copy the questions into a Google doc type in your short answers then hit “Share” to send them to me. (Let’s see if that works. You will probably need to pause the video to type in your answers as you go. Setting up the video in one window and your assignment in the adjacent one would be most efficient.)
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message. I will set up a Google Hangouts Meet for our small group meetings this morning.

Dear Students and Parents:
First, Congratulations on accepting the invitation and signing on to Epic Books, everyone! I hope you find something on this site that you are excited to read.
I am looking forward to our small group meetings today. You can log in by being in Chrome, logging into your school Google account and clicking on “Google Meet” in the drop-down menu of Google Apps. I will also post a link on our class website as this can also be a straight-forward way to link to the meeting. If you have finished your digestion diagram or model (or both) please bring them to share. Also, bring any questions you may have regarding accessing learning sites or researching your country. Please click on the meeting link “Join Hangouts Meet” at your assigned time. Myself and the rest of your group will look forward to seeing you. (You may be able to test the link before the meeting to see if it works for you and contact me between 9 to 10 am if it does not appear to be working. People using tablets may need to download the Google Meet App for tablets.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
I hope you had a good weekend. As a personal and professional goal, I’d like to touch base with each student individually in addition to our small group meetings Wednesday:
Grp. 1: Ailish, Gene, Yebin, Matthew, Troy, David, Aaliyah @ 10:00 am
Grp. 2: Alix, Anna, Belle, Tora, Marcus, Cohen, Hayden @ 10:30
Grp. 3: Bhargav, RB, Ammr, Sage, Veronica, Maura, Kyler @ 11:00
Grp. 4: Gavin, Cody, Kevin, Sam, Sena @ 11:30
and whole class meeting on Friday from 10:00 am to 10:45. With small group meetings on Wednesdays a and class meetings on Friday, it seems to make the most sense to try to schedule individual conferences on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Today, beginning at 10:00, I’ll be calling Hayden, 10:15 Troy, 10:30 Gene, & 10:45 Ailish. I have a Staff meeting between 11 am and noon but afterward, beginning at 1:00, I will try to get in touch with Veronica, Belle, Gavin, Aaliyah and Cody. If I happen to miss you because you are out, I can try again later. I’ll attempt to touch base with the rest of the class on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Remember, you can always send me a text, email or call if you have questions regarding your school work.
To keep up your educational routine, try the following, today.
L.A.
1. A Raz Kids exercise, Brazil.
2. Ixl English Grammar Punctuation, Using commas Level F Section J1 and J2
(Don’t forget before starting an exercise that you have the opportunity to “Learn from an example.”)
3. Read a novel of your own choosing or check out the website for Epic Books.
Math
CONGRATULATIONS! Collectively, we have answered over 80 000 ixl questions since we started in February.
In Math today, try the Level G Section B9 exercise on estimation. If you need a reminder on how to round numbers for estimation, here is a helpful Khan Academy tutorial on just that, Rounding and here is a tutorial on estimating sums and differences, Estimating tutorial. Then, complete the related ixl Level G Section B9 Estimating Sums and Differences of Word Problems.
If you blast through that like I expect you will, proceed to beginning the ixl Diagnostic in the upper tool bar and answer as many questions as you can. You don’t have to finish the diagnostic in one sitting, but it is best to do it as independently as possible so it can make recommendations tailored specifically to your independent level.
Social Studies
After finishing your five to ten sentence paragraph on your country’s culture, you can proceed to the finale, the conclusion. Provide a brief 3 to 5 sentence summary, a short description about your country and your interest in it. You may wish to indicate how it is changing and what you found most interesting while researching it. (The final 3 parts of the report are listed below.)
Culture
List your sources of information: books, encyclopedias and websites
Science
Visit the Ducksters Education Site and read about the respiratory system , draw your own diagram of the respiratory system and label the nose, mouth, trachea, bronchial tubes, left and right lungs, alveoli andcapillaries. Read about each part then take their 10-question online quiz. If you have not done so already and have the materials to do so you may wish to construct your own model of the human digestive systemand for this week, a lung model. I’ll share instructions for this during our small group meetings this week.
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message. We can also arrange to meet using Google Hangouts Meet to provide instruction, help and support. Have a great week!

Pro D Day update
Hey students,
If you'd like to try a few outdoor learning activities suggested by our very own Cheakamus Centre in Paradise Valley, click on the link below, "Outdoor Learning at Home". There are five activities featured on this site. Sadly, the most exciting and fun activities that I learned about today do not adhere to physical distancing protocols. Maybe when we return to school, it will be mandatory to use 6 foot long (2m long) foam pool noodles to play tag.
Although I'll be working for the rest of the day on getting up to speed on more remote teaching tech, please do not hesitate to email or text if you are working from home and have a question.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Just a reminder that today, Monday, April 20, is a Pro D day. Teachers at Squamish Elementary will be attending an online workshop on Outdoor Education. (Some may even take their computers outside to do this!) For those students interested in the Google Meets Grid view extension, I’ve added it to the class website. You can add it to your Chrome Browser to enhance your Google Hangouts Meet experience.
As it is a ProD Day, I will not be posting any new work for the day; although there may well be some past assignments you might want to work on such as the building a digestive system model, your Social Studies Country Report or, and I highly recommend this, begin the ixl Math diagnostic https://ca.ixl.com/diagnostic/get-started . It is long, but it does not need to be done in a single sitting. By completing the Diagnostic, ixl will then be able to suggest areas upon which you can work to raise your personal level of math literacy. Good Luck! Reminder: it is important to do the diagnostic as independently as possible to get a true representation of what you have already mastered and what you may need to work on.
Best wishes,
Matt Parker

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Friday; I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Just a reminder that Monday is a Pro D day; teachers will be going to school to learn more about outdoor education:-) so there will be no daily posting. You may wish to go back to assignments that you had missed in previous correspondence or enjoy the day choosing to work on skills of your own choice.
Just a reminder that we have scheduled a whole class Google Hangouts Meet for today at 10:00 to touch base with the entire class. We’ll have a Community Circle, hear another chapter of Holes and have an opportunity to ask questions and share projects like our painted rocks.
This Link has been removed.
L.A.
1. A Raz Kids exercise, Persephone A Greek Myth , a nature myth from ancient Greece which explains…. Well, you’l have to read it to find out.
2. Ixl English Grammar (Don’t forget before starting an exercise that you have the opportunity to “Learn from an example.”) plural and possessive nouns Level F Sections B11, B12 and B13 https://ca.ixl.com/ela/level-f
3. Read a novel of your own choosing over the weekend. (in the sunshine, in the shade, tucked in bed or on the couch – Enjoy!)
Math
One of the first steps in estimation is often rounding, so let’s make sure that we master that skill first. Watch the 3 min. and 39 sec. Khan Academy tutorial on Estimating when adding large numbers then complete the related ixl Level G Section B8 Estimating sums .
If you blast through that and are looking to further master the realm of Mathematics, I recommend doing the ixl math diagnostic. Click on Diagnostic in the upper tool bar and answer as many questions as you can. Try to do this independently and ixl will then suggest areas to work on to maximize your learning. I think only Anna and Ammr have completed the Diagnostic session after which you just visit it once a week and answer 15 questions or so to track your learning. The first time you do the diagnostic, you may need to answer 150 questions which gradually become more challenging for it to get a full picture of your spectrum of skills. You don’t have to do the entire Diagnostic in one sitting; it can be done over a few days and might make for a good Monday (Pro D Day) project.
Social Studies
Finish taking notes on your country’s culture(s) and then you can write your notes into a cohesive paragraph. 5 – 10 sentences may be enough to convey the notable aspects of your country’s collective culture. Some things like types of housing and clothing may not be necessary as these do not always reflect national culture.
Science
Visit the Ducksters Education Site and read about the digestive system then take their 10-question online quiz. It’s fun! It’s short! It’s educational! Work on your own model or drawing of the human digestive system.
Bonus: TED-Ed DAILY INSTAGRAM CHALLENGE
Today at 2PM EST tune into Instagram Live for the TED-Ed Daily Challenge. Today's guest is TED-Ed Innovative Educator Alicia Lane. She'll be teaching a lesson on how to build a model lung with household objects! Follow @tededucation to join the fun! Here's a refresher on how lungs work.
Art
Painted rocks. We can share our creations at our Friday Class meeting at 10:00 am after which you may wish to place your creations along your favourite trail.

Next week’s hands on construction challenge will be to build a model of the digestive system with items you can find from your recycling bin and around your house and label the parts with a key which tells what each part does. In preparation for this begin with a labeled drawing of a digestive system. (Yay! Some thing you can do offline, but you may want to refer to a diagram or video found on the internet to draw the parts. If you did not watch yesterday’s video link, watch it and there are questions in your Google Drive or Google classroom which you can answer to nine some facts from the video.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Wednesday. I’ve outlined a series of suggested learning activities for today which you may choose to tackle in any order that suits your schedule for today. I’m here to help if you have any questions so do not hesitate to call, text, email or video conference if you have questions. I have a staff meeting today between 11 am and noon but other than that am available from 9:00 to 3:00 then later this evening if necessary.
Tomorrow, I’d like to try some small group Google Hang-0ut meetings at the following times for the following groups:
Grp. 1: Ailish, Gene, Yebin, Matthew, Troy, David, Aaliyah @ 10:00 am
Grp. 2: Alix, Anna, Belle, Tora, Marcus, Cohen, Hayden @ 10:30
Grp. 3: Bhargav, RB, Ammr,Sage, Veronica, Maura, Kyler @ 11:00
Grp. 4: Gavin, Cody, Kevin, Sam, Sena @ 11:30
I’d like to see if these small group meetings will provide stronger learning opportunities and a better chance to ask questions and share work. I hope you can make it. I’ll email ou a link to the meeting and post it on the class website.

Craft your country’s economy notes, which answer the suggested questions below, into a well-organized paragraph.
Science
In our study of cells, we learned that cells are the basic building blocks of life and are organized into tissues in multicellular creatures. In more complex organisms those tissues are organized into different organs and organs often work together as a system such as the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system, excretory system and reproductive system to name a few. Watch the following Ted Ed video on how the digestive System works here and answer the following questions. (You may need to pause the video to write down the answer. I’d suggest copying these questions into a word document or google docs document using the "highlight", "cut" and "paste" features or "copy" and "paste" features in the "Edit" drop-down menu, then typing your answers next to each question in brief point form to minimize work for yourself and efficiently complete this learning exercise.)

L.A., Math and Social Studies is probably enough for today, but if you are seeking an artistic outlet, I have a project for you. If you have taken a walk or bike ride along one of your local trails, you may have noticed some interesting painted rocks that have been decorated into animals, minions, monsters or had motivational words drawn or painted on them. Your mission, if you have the materials to do so is to find a rock and paint or decorate it with marker in a manner that may amuse others. We can share our creations at our Friday Class meeting at 10:00 am after which you may wish to place your creations along your favourite trail.
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message. We can also arrange to meet using Google Hangouts Meet to provide instruction, help and support.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
I hope you had a pleasant Easter Break despite the physical distancing and disruption to your lives that this Covid-19 Crisis has no doubt had. Welcome back to class!
Below, I’ve outlined some learning activities for the day in which you may engage. I’ve set up a Google Meet Hangout which I’ve scheduled between 10:00 am and 12:00 noon today, April 14 where you can drop in to get help with assignments and learning exercises. If the link below does not work for you or you arrive and nobody is there call or text me at 604 815-1967.
Join Hangouts Meet

If you are working later in the day and need help, by all means call, text, or email. I’m either at school or working from home on school related items to at least 3:30.
L.A.
Congratulations to those of you who have made some use of the Raz-Kids reading web-site https://www.raz-kids.com . (Wow! Matthew, at this rate you’ll have read every book on the site by June. Well done!) For today, for L.A. I suggested 1.a Raz Kids reading exercise “Where We Get Energy” which was a topic we studied during our study of electricity in Science earlier in the year. 2. If you go to Google Classroom you’ll find I assigned a brief 4 – 5 sentence paragraph describing your Easter break which can be submitted right from your Google account. 3. In our use of Ixl English Grammar instruction we can continue to work with nouns by Level F Section B3 and B4 Identifying common nouns and proper nouns which you’ll find should customarily be capitalized. https://ca.ixl.com/ela/level-f
Math
First of all, congratulations to all of you! Collectively, last week you answered 4739 questions and spent 43 hours on ixl and practiced 46 different math skills. That brings us to 65 000 questions answered in all. – AMAZING!
Moving on from probability, let’s get back to basics with a quick place value review ixl Level G Section A 1 and A 2. https://ca.ixl.com/math/level-g If you have already completed these assignments and mastered them, you could try some place Value exercises in level H or I or explore an area of Math that interests you. I’m looking forward to a geometry unit which will allow us to do some work off line.
Social Studies
If you have not already done so craft your notes on your country’s government into a paragraph which answers the following questions: 1. Who is the current leader?
2. How is the government structured? (Is it a two-house parliamentary system? A republic with a president? A dictatorship? This may take 3 – 5 sentences/notes to answer.)
3. Do they have elections? How often?
If you are only just beginning your country research refer to the outline provided on the class website last Thursday and try to work on a single subtopic each day.
If you finished government last week, note the following facts about your country’s economy.
(Copy these questions and answer in point form.)

Ms. McPhee has posted some Harmonica Karate challenges for you in our Google Classroom.
I should have perhaps led with this today because it is just so cool and engaging. Try making your own music at this site, Chrome Music Lab Experiments: https://musiclab.chromeexperiments.com/Experiments?fbclid=IwAR1Uo82bJzozKzAmqVtLPFP6DTqlPuszgtHNu75XfczG8wC2aW67pcgCh9k

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
It was good to see and hear many of you yesterday at our class meeting and over the phone later in the day. As tomorrow is Good Friday, there is no school this Friday or on Easter Monday; however, with the internet at your fingertips there are multiple opportunities to learn at any time of day or any time of the week. It was good to hear that some of you are using your extra time to expand your skill base, for example by practicing your keyboarding skills at Kidz Type & (Dancemattyping), https://www.kidztype.com and Typing Club, https://www.typingclub.com.
This may well be a good time to pursue skills and abilities about which you feel passionate and motivated to pursue as long as you can do so observing our physical distancing protocols.
Math
First of all, congratulations to Tora, Gene, RB, Yebin, Matthew and Alix who were able to score 100% on ixl level H Section FF3 Make Predictions. (Wow, Yebin, you did so in 9 minutes! Well done. Congratulations to Ammr too, who pressed pause at 93%. Congratulations to all of you who gave this exercise a try. Push your understanding a little further by trying ixl Level H Section FF4 https://ca.ixl.com/math/level-h/probability-of-opposite-mutually-exclusive-and-overlapping-events. You will need to also apply some understanding of equivalent fractions and percent to do some of these probability questions. Please use every error or mistake as an opportunity to learn and deepen your understanding.
L.A.
Congratulations to those of you who have made use of the Raz-Kids reading web-site https://www.raz-kids.com . Hip Hip Hooray! Ixl has indeed gifted us access to their English language skills practice pages. Let’s try this again by trying Level F Section B1and B2 Identifying nouns. https://ca.ixl.com/ela/level-f/which-word-is-a-noun . Hopefully, you will find this a quick review and easy introduction to this corner of their website.
Remember, nouns are a person place or thing. Feel free to explore this corner of the site by learning more about other parts of speech and sentence types etc. I hope you have a great novel or graphic novel on the go.
Science
Today we’ll wrap up our study of cells. Watch these you-tube clips which summarize the main things that we’ve learned about cells. When you finish these you should be able to tell us what the largest cell on Earth is and what are all parts of the cell and what they do.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vo59AKzU4Q Parts of the Cell
Intro to the Cell and fun facts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbtan8B9hqE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-lsNDVhcY An animated adventure which describes parts of an Animal cell (Slightly longer than the first two videos)
Applied Design and Skills Technology Challenge
Design, construct or sew together your own “Keep out Covid-19 Mask”. What materials will you use? Cloth? Paper? Coffee filters? Be creative but also be practical. Could you comfortably wear your mask for a twelve-hour hospital shift without having to touch it to adjust it?
Social Studies
Today, let us delve into the government of the country that you chose to study. Try to answer two questions: 1. Who is the current leader of the country you are studying?
2. How is their government structured? (This may take 3 – 5 sentences/notes to answer.)
3. Do they have elections? How often?
P. E.
The sun is still shining so get outside and play while also practicing your physical distancing.

If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible. I hope this is not too much.

Dear Students and Parents:
I hope you and your extended families are all well. I’m looking forward to our second class meeting today at 10 am. It was such a delight to see and hear from most of you last week. As a staff, we just had our second staff meeting yesterday using the same technology. There is a lot of new technology to get used to using. I spent time yesterday setting up our Google classroom, a learning hub where I can share and collect assignments. By the way, thanks to those of you who have already finished the ADST Medical Mask Design Challenge and sent me a photo. It would be great for you to show them at our class meeting this morning. I’ll also need to add a gallery page to our class website where we can display photos of your projects and class work.
Another way that students can access our meeting is if you are using Chrome as your browser, log into your Google account, your school computer password + @sd48.org and your school password (a colour and a number) or “welcome”, then go to the nine-dot waffle in the top right hand corner of your computer screen. When you click on that, you can then go to Calendar where you will find a link to today’s meeting.
Math
Yesterday, I hope you had fun exploring experimental probability and enjoying a math lesson that did not involve a computer screen. Today, continuing with probability, try ixl level H Section FF3 Make Predictions. https://ca.ixl.com/math/level-h/make-predictions
L.A.
Congratulations to Ammr, Anna, Gene, Tora and Matthew for completing the Raz-Kids reading assignment on Egypt yesterday. It is still there for you to tackle at your convenience and as an opportunity to learn a little more about Egypt. Today, I selected a reading assignment on Mexico. Log on to Raz-Kids to check it out. https://www.raz-kids.com
To log on, where it says, “Your Teacher’s Username” type in “SquamishElementary” no space between Squamish and Elementary. Click on your name and where it says student password type in your last name. Click on assignments and try the reading assignment on Mexico.
With respect to my ixl English inquiry, I was told that it was only new subscribers to ixl were being given free access to the English exercises there, and as we already had a paid subscription, we were not eligible for the upgrade. I will see what I can do to appeal this as it does seem helpful to avoid introducing too many learning platforms at once and sticking with the ones with which we are familiar.
Science
If we were in school today, we’d be pulling out the microscopes and microscopic slide viewers to view plant cells like onion cells and animal cells like blood cells and skin cells and nerve cells.
Since we can not do that, you can visit the PBS Learning Media.org site to make and view your own virtual slides. This takes some reading and patience. Good Luck! Check out the different types of cells you can find images of on the internet. They don’t look exactly like the diagrams we’ve drawn and built because there are so many different types of cells.

Applied Design and Skills Technology Challenge
With medical masks in short supply, your challenge is to design a mask to protect yourself and others from the Covid-19 virus. You have a week and a day to design, construct or sew together your prototype. What materials will you use? Cloth? Paper? Coffee filters? Be creative but also be practical. Could you comfortably wear your mask for a twelve-hour hospital shift without having to touch it to adjust it? Thank
Social Studies
Take your 5 to 10 notes on the main historical events in your country and weave them into a paragraph which briefly tells your country’s history in chronological order. I’ll post an example using Afghanistan in a separate part of our website. If you are also doing a slide show with Power Point or Google Slides just a timeline can be copied into your presentation, just note your source.
P. E.
The sun is shining! Get outside and play, but just remember your Physical Distancing protocols!
French
This is a bit of a review but using a technological approach. Use Google translate to finish the expressions: J’aime…. (give 5 examples of things you like in French)
And Je n’aime pas…. (5 things you don’t like) You can use a French English Dictionary if you have one at home or use the internet or Google translate to express your likes and dislikes “en francais.”
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Best wishes,

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
First of all, my apologies if you did not receive my daily communication until the afternoon yesterday. I thought that I had sent it out by email and posted on our class blog / website first thing in the morning. I’ll typically get those out by or before 9 am each day. I believe that we just have one more student to pick up a computer from school so he can access the online learning opportunities that we are outlining each day. Past correspondences can be found at https://mparkerses.weebly.com.
I’d like to try another class meeting on Wednesday, April 8 at 10:00 to 11:00. If students click on the “Join Hangouts Meet” below it should take you right to the meeting. It may be helpful if you are using Chrome and logged into your google drive. I think that it can also be accessed from your google calendar. We were able to get 18 students to our last meeting. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there and for you to have the opportunity to see each other.
If you did not have an opportunity to do yesterday’s Math and Social Studies that may be a good place to start for today. I am seeking clarification to see if we have access to ixl English activities. I was told by a colleague that we did but I can see that this is not the case, so I’ll discuss this with our ixl administrator to see if we can straighten this out.
Math / Science
Yesterday, you worked on finding the mathematical probability of a variety of events in ixl Level H Section FF2. Today, I’d like you to try something completely different but related, determining the experimental probability of an event. This is where you do an experiment with many trials to determine the likelihood of the various outcomes. First, get a paper, plastic or best, Styrofoam, (quietest) cup. Your parents will be very upset if you use their best crystal or grandma’s china for this experiment! Knock your cup off of the kitchen table. Hint! It is probably best if it is empty! With respect to how it lands, there are three possible outcomes: right side up, upside down, or on its side. Do the experiment 100 times recording how it lands each time to determine the experimental probability for each outcome. Sometimes the answer to a question is not something we can google; we need to do an experiment. (If you do not have a suitable cup, you can use a plastic spoon or fork with similar three possible outcomes.)
Bonus: Flip a coin 100 times. Record the result each time with a tally: Heads or Tails.
One would expect to get roughly 50 heads and 50 tails but perhaps not quite exactly that as mathematical probability informs experimental probability and is not an exact predictor. Try it!
Experimental P (heads) = Experimental P (tails) =
The beauty of using 100 trials is that you can express your probabilities as a percent or a fraction /100. If you still want to do more math please visit ixl. www.ixl.com
L.A.
Today, I’ll see where we’re at with access to ixl English grammar exercises. In the meantime log into raz-kids https://www.raz-kids.com and try the reading assignment on Egypt (level J).[Where it says, “Your Teacher’s Username” type in “SquamishElementary” no space between Squamish and Elementary. Click on your name and where it says student password type in your last name. Click on assignments and try the reading assignment on Egypt. I’m hoping that most of you find it relatively easy as I mainly want you to try to get used to using this reading site. If the reading selection is too hard, try a lower letter and if it is too easy try a letter further up the alphabet. There are lots of choices in each level. I had wanted to begin another novel study when we returned from Spring Break, but we’ll try that later in the month.
Don’t forget to read for pleasure!

You have a week and a day to design, construct or sew together your prototype. What materials will you use? Cloth? Paper? Coffee filters? Be creative but also be practical. Could you comfortably wear your mask for a twelve-hour hospital shift without having to touch it to adjust it?
If you find sewing challenging, there is this helpful invention called fabric glue. And, when all else fails, there is always duct tape. We will share our masks at next week’s class meeting, which I’ve tentatively set for 10 am Wednesday, March 15. (There is no school Friday for Good Friday and Monday for Easter Monday, but of course these on-line learning opportunities are available to us at any time rain or shine or week day or week end.
Social Studies
Today, we will tackle one of the more challenging subtopics to your country report, “History”. The history of a country can be a complicated, complex topic which can easily become bogged down in too much detail, so try to select no more than 5 important events in your country’s history. Suggestions: When it was formed and became a nation? Who lived there before that? Was it ever colonized by another country? What are the most important events in your country’s history? Lastly, how is your country coping with the Covid-19 crisis? (We are living in historic times.) You may wish to copy, cut and past these questions into your own document and seek out note form answers on the internet from Wikipedia. We’ll just focus on notetaking today. You may need to read a lot for just a few notes and use your judgement as to what the most important events in a country are. If you are doing a power point, you may find a timeline illustration that you can use. Just make sure that you credit your source.
Note: the website from which you found your information:
P. E.
Get some exercise (at least 20 – 30 min.) either indoors or outside with a walk, run or a bike ride, but if you are heading out do remember your physical distancing, 2 m from all those people outside of your immediate family. Health officials are encouraging us to stay home as much as possible. If you have the space and materials to do so, you may wish to try skipping, badminton or kicking a soccer ball back and forth with a family member.
If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

If you need any help with the assignments above or just want to touch base with me, don’t hesitate to call or email. If I’m busy on my other line, please leave a message and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible. This week, I’m going to work on making our class website more engaging and helpful and explore See Saw as a way we can share our work orstarting our own Weebly websites linked to our class website which could act as your own electronic portfolio.
Best wishes,
Matt Parker

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
HAPPY FRIDAY! (For many, the days of the week have little meaning due to the current disruption to our lives. It has meant long hours at work for our essential workers and for people working from home, it has meant you are always at work.) The office staff and some support teachers have been hard at work arranging to send home school computers with students who do not have that technology at home to access these communications and on-line learning opportunities.
I’m really looking forward to today’s 10 am Google Hang out meeting for our class. The following link should take you there
I also heard that the Provincial Government is licensing Zoom for all schools, teachers and students in BC offering another way we can conduct mass class communication.
Here are some academic activities you can try to continue your grade 5/6 Studies:
French (Salutations and a quick review)
Bonjour. Comment ca va?
Quel temps fait-I, aujourd’hui? (Demain, il neige. Quois? Oui, il neige… un peu.)
Here’s a challenge. Go to a mirror. Play Simon Dit against yourself. How many body parts can you remember. (Go ahead and use the internet as a reminder if you must.)
P. E.
Get some exercise (at least 20 – 30 min.) either indoors or outside with a walk, run or a bike ride, but if you are heading out do remember your physical distancing, 2 m from all those people outside of your immediate family.
Social Studies – Language Arts
Today, we are going to investigate the demographics of your country. I suggest doing a Google search in which you list your country and “demographics”. Most information will be available on the Wikipedia page. I suggest copying the questions below using the cut and paste feature in the edit menu into a Word or google docs document to start and save the document as your country and demographics, for example “Afghanistan Demographics”. You could then just copy and paste answers into the document that you created. You won’t need to type much at all! Keep cut and pasted answers short in as few words as possible to avoid plagiarism, copying and using someone else’s sentences without permission. We’ll take notes. Just notes for today. On Monday, we’ll craft those notes into a paragraph on your country’s demographics.
Demographics Notes:
Science
If your cell model is finished, bring it to our class meeting this morning for a little show and tell.
Quick questions: (The Socratic method)
How is a virus different from a cell?
Why is there some debate as to if a virus can be considered a living thing?
How does a virus invade a cell?
How might an anti-viral medication work? List one possible way.
How does immunization essentially work to keep you from getting ill from a specific virus?
(There is an informative (&entertaining?) animated cartoon showing the first medical immunization to thwart the Small pox virus which I showed before the grade sixes had their immunizations.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJwGNPRmyTI
The Edward Jenner Story
Math
Today, try Ixl Level G section T 7 Combinations. This is also known as compound events. For example: True example: Mr. Parker has two pairs of pants that he’ll wear to work: one Khaki and one green. He has three favourite long sleeve t-shirts: one white, one black and one grey. How many outfits Can he make? How many combinations are there? Khaki Pants + White t-shirt, Khaki Pants + Black t-shirt, Khaki Pants + Grey t-shirt, Green Pants + White t-shirt, Green Pants + Black t-shirt and Green Pants + grey t-shirt so there are six combinations. 2 x 3 = 6.
https://ca.ixl.com/math/level-g
If you finish today’s assignment and wish to do more look for the starred assignments that you have not tried yet or work on the concepts that we covered earlier in the year. I’d suggest working on levels: F, G, H as those are generally at our instructional level and offer good practice. If it is a particularly challenging skill, then strive for an 80% mastery rather than a full 100%.
Best wishes,
Matt Parker

- Population?
- Population Density? (Might need a separate Google search.)
- What percentage of the population is in each age group? 0 – 14? 15 – 64? 65 and over?
- What is the average life expectancy for people in your country?
- What are the major ethnic groups in your country?
- What are the main languages spoken or “official” language(s) in your country?
- Where do most people in your country live? An urban or rural setting?
- What are the main religions practiced by the people in your country?
- Are there any interesting, unique facts about the people in your country such as their level of education or number of pets that you found particularly interesting or informative about them as a nation? List fun demographic facts here:
- EXTENSION: optional analysis: Briefly, How are the demographics of the country you are studying similar and different from the demographics of Canada.

Class Communication from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
I hope you are well and safe and survived April Fools Day. It is too bad that the whole Covid-19 crises is not just an elaborate and early April Fools Day prank. I present to you below a smorgasbord of learning from which you can pick and choose and tackle in any order that suits your preference and time. Don’t forget about tomorrow’s 10 am Google Hang out meeting. The following link should take you there:
French (Salutations and a quick review)
Bonjour. Comment ca va?
Quel temps fait-il? (What’s the weather like?) – Just a little French Review
Il fait beau? Il fait mauvais? Il y a des nuages?
P. E.
Get some exercise (at least 20 – 30 min.) either indoors or outside with a walk, run or a bike ride, but if you are heading out do remember your physical distancing, 2 m from all those people outside of your immediate family. Do not pick up used tissues and be safe. Doing yard work or chores around the house can be another way of staying active and helping out at the same time. Unless you have someone in your house who is doing shift work and needs to sleep, crank the music, dust, vacuum the rugs, sweep the floors and get the laundry sorted.
Social Studies – Language Arts
Let’s turn your notes on the Geography of your country into a paragraph. That won’t be so bad. You can do that in your own neat handwriting, in Microsoft Word, Apple Pages or Google Docs which allows easy sharing across a Google platform. Choose what is comfortable for you and if you can remember how to apply sentence “dress-ups” like added adjectives and who / which phrases and sentence openers to enrich your writing and the detail within your text, so much the better. Your notes should be the key word answers to the questions below, which you will craft into a simple paragraph describing the geography of your selected Country. (Wikipedia, Britannica.com and the CIA Factbook are three online sources of information that are typically quite trustworthy.)
If you have access to Google Slides, Power Point or Keynote (Mac), Begin a slide show about your country. Power point and the others is a visual way of presenting information so it is actually better to use brief notes and most importantly images to tell your story. Start with a title slide – The name of your country and your name over a back drop of an image from your country or its flag. Introduce Geography with a slide, then a map and some images which show what your country is like and answers the questions above. Small tutorials from you tube can tell you how to copy images and paste them into your own project. You should keep track of your sources by recording where you get your information and images from on a separate page or slide called “Bibliography” or “Sources”. For simplicity sake, you could just copy the url, website address into the list and if you are using a book list the title, author, publisher and year published.
Science
Work on your cell models and the key which describes what each part of the cell does.
Are you into Anime? Do you want to learn about how your body fights infections in an action-packed animated series? Do you have access to Netflix? Well, there is a Japanese manga series called Cells at Work. I’ve already mentioned it to a few students. The series details the immunological responses of anthropomorphized (that means human-like) cells in a body and how they fight infection. If you watch the series carefully, you will learn more about the cells in your own body and the types of bacteria cells and viruses that can make us ill and indeed how an overstimulated immune response can make a person feel unwell. -This might interest you. Plus you can put on the closed captioning and do your reading at the same time.
Math
First of all, a hearty congratulations to Ammr, Anna, Alix, Ailish, Hayden, RB, Matthew, Sena, David, Yebin, Sage, Kyler, Troy, Tora, Sam and Gene as I can see that you’ve all been working on your ixl assignments and expanding your mathematics skill base. Kevin, I’d suggest first focus on the ixl exercises assigned before exploring the exercises in level N, Grade 12 level math?. Learning theorist and social psychologist, Lev Vygotsky would probably determine that there is little to be gained by exploring areas that are beyond one’s zone of proximal development. Use your time wisely. There are health implications too much screen time so we should do what we can to make the most of our time online and on computers then taking a healthy break for some active activity.
Today, try Ixl Level G section T 6 Make Predictions. For this exercise, you will need to tap your understanding of equivalent fractions and proportions which we worked on earlier in the year. For example, if you had a spinner with 4 equal sections marked Win, Lose, Spin again, Spin Again and you spun it 8 times, how many times would you expect to to land on “Win”? Did you say “2”? Yup! That’s Right! Spin Again? 4? Yup! Correct again. With ixl we can learn from our errors if we read the explanations carefully. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn. Embrace it. Have fun! Take pride in your learning. Collectively, we have answered over 60 000 ixl questions since starting this early experiment into online learning. You guys are AWESOME!!!

Wed. April 1 Addendum & Google Hang-out invite
Wednesday, April 1, 2020
Communication addendum from Mr. Parker’s Classroom
Dear Students and Parents:
As I promised earlier today, here is a link
which (if it works) will allow a video classroom meeting which I’ve scheduled for 10 am on Friday. For those attending, it has been recommended that Chrome is used as your browser; although, in my experience, Google hangout also seems to work with Safari, Apple’s built-in browser. Students who have not yet been supplied with computers, where needed, may not be able to attend but if this is successful, then we’ll try again next week with our entire class.
As this is a first effort to utilize this technology with classmates, I expect there could be a few glitches and some may not be able to attend if they do not have the technology to do so. First, one will want to be on wi-fi as using cellular data could be expensive depending on your plan. A computer, phone or tablet with a camera and microphone will also be needed, so I will be using my own computer and not the classroom computer which does not have a microphone or camera. As a matter of polite protocol for video conferencing with a large group, it is customary to turn one’s microphone off when one is not addressed or speaking. Hopefully, this works reasonably well. I’m looking forward to seeing you and you having the opportunity to see each other.
I’ll post this message on our class website, https://mparkerses.weebly.com, where the link can be accessed. Earlier today, I created a class account at www.brainpop.com where students can log in using the class code, “mitten4914”. A variety of educational activities can be found at this site.
For parents working from home, I understand that your email boxes may be overflowing with communications, so I’ll post these communications to our class website where they may be more accessible to students. For those parents and guardians who are deemed essential service workers and still attending your work sites, I understand that you may not be in a position to provide your child with a lot of support for school activities. That’s ok, too. Our children are amazingly resilient and frankly, probably, much more adept at using Facetime, Skype, Facebook Kids Chat, Messenger, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, You-tube, WhatsApp, We Chat, Zoom and Google Hang out to communicate and gather information than I or most adults in their lives.
This is quite the learning experience!
Best wishes,

By order of the Surgeon General school has been cancelled for the day. Go play!
April Fools!!! Schools on, but we’ll keep it light as we were not expected to really start until Friday and that was to be one simple task. Students, I hope that having some extra time on your hands that you have been able to pursue some of your passions. If you are a gardener, then this is a good time of year to begin planning your Armageddon garden.
Bonjour. Comment ca va?
Ca va tres bien. Ca va bien. Ca va. Comme ci comme ca. Ca va mal. Ca va tres mal.?
(Please excuse the missing accents. I have not yet learned how to convert my key board to French even though it is probably one short you tube video or google search away.)
As previously promised, I hope to post a few academic activities for you to pursue to ease us back into our school routine. I have a video meeting at 9 am so I best be done by then. Students, you have the opportunity to structure your day as you wish, so if you like to start each day with a 5 km jog you can do that first then get to work, just remember your physical distancing if you are out and about and encountering others. The vast majority of Canadians have been great about staying home, physical distancing and respecting others’ personal space.
Social Studies
Let’s start with notes on the Geography of your country. Just notes. Tomorrow, we’ll turn notes into a brief paragraph. We are trying to make this return to school thing as painless as possible.
Notes are not complete sentences, just the key words to the answers to these questions:
Science
Feel free to work on your cell model and key describing what each part of the cell does. You can watch the following you tube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Th0bsASzmM, on the difference between plant and animal cells to help fine tune your model and hopefully provide further information. There are plenty of diagrams available
Because it is topical, here are a few TedEd information videos that I’d recommend watching to better understand our current state of affairs with the Covid-19 virus:
“How Pandemics Spread” which was published in 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG8YbNbdaco
“How do viruses jump from animals to humans?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjcsrU-ZmgY

Math
Ixl Level G section T 5 Probability and Statistics Finding the mathematical probability of events
https://ca.ixl.com/math/level-g
Practice your multiplication facts if you do not have them fluently memorized so they are as automatic as your ABCs.
If you are looking for more to do in other areas, here are a few suggestions:
Tomorrow, I hope to send out an invitation for a Google Hang out meeting for a class reunion for those students equipped to meet at 10 am Friday. The school still needs to get laptops, Chromebooks or ipads to those students who do not have this technology readily available. Hopefully, by next week, we’ll have everybody connected. Congratulations to those of you keeping up with your math studies on ixl and pushing forward your skills and abilities.
Best wishes,

https://ca.ixl.com/math/level-g
Practice your multiplication facts if you do not have them fluently memorized so they are as automatic as your ABCs.
If you are looking for more to do in other areas, here are a few suggestions:
- Practice your harmonica or singing in the shower (Think Home Alone Ha!)
- Get some exercise and keep an exercise record. Are you elevating your heart rate with something other than video games (Wii Fit excluded)?
- Reading 30 minutes of independent reading of an engaging piece of literature which helps foster a joy of reading and expanding your brain into new dimensions.
- If you’re interested in learning how to program and in operational thinking, check out Scratch https://scratch.mit.edu to write your own programs and design your own animations and video games.
- Become a fluent touch typist at typing club.com https://www.typingclub.com
- Look for some ways you can help out around the house, keeping things tidy, taking out the trash, raking up fallen branches, etc.
Tomorrow, I hope to send out an invitation for a Google Hang out meeting for a class reunion for those students equipped to meet at 10 am Friday. The school still needs to get laptops, Chromebooks or ipads to those students who do not have this technology readily available. Hopefully, by next week, we’ll have everybody connected. Congratulations to those of you keeping up with your math studies on ixl and pushing forward your skills and abilities.
Best wishes,
Matt Parker

Tuesday, March 31 addendum
The framework of activities that are suggested below can be modified as time and access to technology allow. I had an inquiry as to how long the activities should take so I've provided a suggested timeline in this communication. Hopefully, students will appreciate having the flexibility to practice time management and tackle tasks in a perferred order that suites their strengths and interests.
The model of the cell is for the week, the rest was a suggestion for the day. It is always a challenge as students work at different rates. Some will finish those suggested activities in an hour while others could spend the day on it as they may have difficulties with technology, remaining focused or with the challenge of the tasks.
Suggested time frame is:
15 - 20 min for writing about Spring Break
20 - 30 min for reading (which could be done last)
ixl Math assignment on probability is pretty easy and should take 15 min or less (For those who may find it challenging try to work toward a proficiency score of 80% as that last 20% to get to 100% mastery can be quite challenging for some skills and concepts.)
The TedEd video is roughly 5 minutes long and should take 10 minutes to respond to (Explain why soap and water kills the corona virus.)
https://ed.ted.com/best_of_web/wy0p8edN
The Social Studies, pick a country and tell why you chose that country to study could take 20 - 30 minutes if students spend time reading about different countries before deciding.
If this is overwhelming for some, I'd suggest focussing on just the Math, Science video and Social Studies introduction to your country which could be done in about one hour. The Spring Break writing and independent reading for pleasure probably extends this to two hours of work. Feel free to prioritize your time as necessary. There is great value in helping out around the house with cooking , cleaning, laundry and yard work. Good global citizens think globally (think of others) and act locally (do something close to home) which makes your world, our world, a better place.
Sincerely,
Matt Parker

Welcome Back
Please read and try these activities to keep up your learning and avert boredom:
Language Arts:
Write a quick Spring Break Journal entry (minimum 5 sentences). What did you do over Spring Break? What were your favourite activities? What was your least favourite part? What impact has the physical distancing had on your life? To what are you looking forward to most when the quarantining, social distancing and physical distancing is over?
Independent Reading:
Spend 30 minutes reading a novel, short story anthology or graphic novel.
Math: Topic: Probability and Statistics
Ixl Level G Section T 4 “Understanding Probability”
Which outcomes are more or less likely?
Practice multiplication facts with a deck of cards.
Probability is a fun topic and a great way to ease back into building our math literacy.
Science:
Find and watch a TedEd video explaining “How soap kills the corona virus”.
Explain in your own words (Use illustrations if that helps) how washing hands for over 20 seconds with soap and water will “kill” Covid-19. (Bacteria are killed pretty much the same way and for the same reason due to the composition of their plasma membrane.)
A project to try to complete by Friday: Using materials found around the house construct a model of a plant cell or an animal cell (or both!) and include a key which explains which parts are which and their respective functions. Perhaps by next week we’ll have the technology up and running to share our models with one another. In the case of a plant cell: cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, vacuole, cytoplasm & chloroplasts and in the case of an animal cell: the cell membrane, nucleus, vacuoles, mitochondria, cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes. Here’s an example: I have a plastic baggie which represents a cell membrane and inside there is a peach ring representing the nucleus, red nibs representing the mighty mitochondria, coke bottle gummies representing vacuoles, gummie worms representing the smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum and sour gummie worms representing the rough E R, and yellow Jello inside the baggie to represent cytoplasm and I’ve created my very tasty animal cell model. Hint. If you do go the candy model route, you may want to substitute the yellow Jello for air as once the yellow Jello is added it begins dissolving all the organelles making your model look less appealing but more realistic !-)
Social Studies:
Choose a country about which you’d like to learn more. Write your introductory paragraph. 1. The country you chose to research. 2. Where that country is located. 3. Why you chose that country. 4. Something your country is widely known for. 5. Encourage the reader to read further to learn more about your country.
That is a pretty full first day back. I’m a pretty slow typist. If you are too, you may wish to dedicate 15 to 20 minutes each day at typing club.com to become more proficient at keyboarding and no look typing.

Hello all,
If at present, you are all healthy and safe, then that is a gift for which I'm truly thankful. I hope that despite the unprecedented measures taken to contain the Civid-19 virus, you had a pleasant, although no doubt somewhat stressful, Spring Break. I spent the bulk of the break social distancing and physical distancing while working on a new trail in my role with the Squamish Trails Society between the north end of Tantalus Road and the east end of Depot Road. The trail is still a few weeks away from completion, so please wait until it is complete before checking it out.
During the Break, I also gave a lot of thought toward how we as a class can continue with our learning journey. Congratulations to those of you who logged onto ixl over the break to push your mathematical boundaries and expand your skills; I can see through through cyberspace to see who you are. A huge shout out goes to Mathew and Anna who have been absolutely crushing it on ixl math exercises!
Each day, I'll send an email with a few tasks you may pursue to continue your learning. I'll also post the activities and instructions to my class website: mparkerses.weebly.com. I suspect that we may be learning to apply some established technologies like Google Classroom, Google Hang out, Zoom, Skype, Face-Time, See Saw. Two obvious challenges that we'll have to implement these programs are 1. my inexperience with them and 2. students' access to the needed hardware / technology. If you do not have a computer or ipad at home, please let me know. The office staff are currently working on a plan to lend out necessary technology to families that need that support. Our computers and tablets charge in carts and will require individual charging cords if they are to be taken home for home use. We have also been told that there will be no pick-up of school materials until Friday, so stay tuned on further information on that.
We had a virtual staff meeting this morning using Google Hang out, so I was able to assess the benefits and challenges to using this technology. It took 45 minutes for us to all check in and answer a simple community circle style question.
My next correspondence, which will follow right after this one, will detail some activities students can begin to ease themselves into back to school and guided learning.
Best Wishes,
Matt Parker
