Dear Kindys:
Your first summer vacation has arrived. I hope you will spend a lot of time outside and enjoy nature and your family. But sometimes you might want to play on the computer. Therefore, I have found games for you that are not only fun but also teach you things. And guess what, they are in a software that you are already familiar with: Brainpop Jr. Game Up Remember to login with ad12stargate and starpass. The "Sortify" games might be quite suitable for kindergarteners, but you can pick whichever ones interest you. I hope to see you all in August when you are BIG first graders. I miss you! Ms. Stephenson

Here we are on the last stretch of remote learning (keep your fingers crossed). At this point, I do not want introduce anything new, but reinforce last week's learning. Please go back into Brainpop Jr. This week, your child should find by herself the category HEALTH, then click on TEETH and then LOSING A TOOTH. S/he should first watch the video and then complete the easy quiz. Your student may then pick one more activity free of choice. Please help your child login to Brainpop Jr. Our username is: ad12stargate Password: starpass This video explains how to navigate this software. Go ahead and finish Typing Club Jr. and if your child is interested I can already enroll her into Typing Club for second grade. Wishing everyone a fun and healthy summer and let's hope we see each other in person in August! Greetings, Ms. Stephenson Dear Students:
You did it! Congratulations for finishing this trimester in remote learning format. That was new for almost everyone and if you completed the assignments, you can give yourself a pat on the back now. Well done! The last thing we have to do is check on your progress in Typing Club. Please go back into Google Classroom and look at the assignment. You are given 10 tries on the test; the test is open for the next two weeks, so spread it out if you do not immediately pass. When you pass, you are given a certificate! Typing Club is open for you all summer as well, should you decide to continue your practice and become a fiery typist. When you are done, you can always continue on the Tynker lessons in Google Classroom to learn more coding skills. Shoot me an email if you are interested in more advanced Tynker lessons. Also, please check IC and make sure you have nothing missing from before we began Remote Learning. Thank you and have a fantastic summer. I hope to see you all in person in August. Let's keep our fingers crossed and stay healthy. Miss you, Ms. Rita Stephenson Dear First Graders:
I hope everyone is healthy and doing well emotionally. Let's talk emotions. It is important to learn to recognize and vocalize our emotions. Everyone is going through ups and downs in these strange times including our young students. Please help your child login to Brainpop Jr. Our username is: ad12stargate Password: starpass This video explains how to navigate this software and what the assignment is (Health: Emotions). Please have your child explore and enjoy this great learning resource. Go ahead and finish Typing Club Jr. and if your child is interested I can already enroll her into Typing Club for second grade. Greetings, Ms. Stephenson Welcome back, my dear Kindys:
Two more weeks in the school year before summer break. It sure does not seem like summer right now. But what does summer look like anyway? Let's go back to Brainpop Jr. and find out. This new video will show you how to find the unit on summer and how to draw about it? Go ahead and click on my homepage above labeled "Resources". Then scroll down to Brainpop and login with ad12stargate and starpass. Here is last week's video again just in case you forgot how to navigate Brainpop. Have you finished Typing Club Jr? If not, go ahead and work on that as well to strengthen your fingers and improve your fine motor skills. Have fun, Ms. Stephenson Dear Students,
let's finish this school year with a fun coding project. I assigned to you in Google Classroom a Tynker course. Please watch this VIDEO!!! It will explain login and how to proceed. Also, do not forget the 30 min. in Typing Club. Next week you will reflect on your progress. Have a great week, Ms. Stephenson Dear Students:
A lot of you enjoy fun coding projects. I therefore assigned to you a course in Tynker called Dragon Spells: you will train a dragon to collect treasure. You go into Google classroom, click on lesson 1: Dragon Eggs (scroll down in Google Classroom) and begin coding. If you enjoy this activity you can move up through all lessons one through ten. By the end of this course, you can write simple algorithms using loops, conditionals, functions, and variables and know how to debug your code. Please watch this VIDEO first! And 30 min. typing club. Have fun! Ms. Stephenson Glad you have returned to my blog. I hope everyone is healthy and doing well emotionally.
Let's talk emotions. It is important to learn to recognize and vocalize our emotions. Everyone is going through ups and downs in these strange times, and also our littlest ones are sometimes struggling. Please help your child login to Brainpop Jr. Our username is: ad12stargate Password: starpass This video explains how to navigate this software and what the assignment is (Health: Emotions). Please have your child explore and enjoy. Happy Mother's Day from this mom ;-) It is Mother's Day Week and you will have the opportunity to create a digital Mother's Day card in Google Drawing.
Go to Google Classroom, watch the video and get creative. Second Graders, if you can put in text, an image and a new background that would be fabulous. Third Graders, you can probably do all of the above plus add shadows, borders, maybe even a video. Fourth Graders, on top of doing all of the above, think about adding hyperlinks and audio. And if this assignment is too easy for you, then opt for the other assignment which requires you to code a Mad Libs card in Tynker. Have fun!!! and celebrate your moms, Miss Stephenson Guess what, first graders. This week is Mother's Day. As much fun as it is being home with mom during this pandemic, she has been working extra hard for the family and now is a good time to show her your love and appreciation.
I have created a collection of fiction and non-fiction Mother's Day books in Epic Books and sent it to you. When you login, look at the mailbox beside your name and click on it. You will find books that read out loud to you but also craft books. Maybe one of the ideas inspires you! Make sure you finish Typing Club Jr. as well. If you are already done, you can use DanceMat Typing for more practice. Have a wonderful week. Ms. Stephenson Hello Fifth Graders:
Last week I have assigned to you a fun digital citizenship game called "Be Internet Awesome". You completed 2 worlds; this week you finish the other 2 worlds. The link and objectives are also in Google Classroom. Don't forget to mark the assignment "as done" when completed. I also assigned to you a Mother's Day Mad Libs coding project in Tynker which is optional, but might be a fun gift for your mom. The tutorial is included in the lesson and I added a file for your to prepare your wording. If you decide to do that, please share your project with me as well. And of course.... continue with 30 min/week Typing Club. Be well, see you next week! Ms. Stephenson |
