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 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 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 Welcome back first graders:
Now, that most of you have created your at home accounts, we will go back to Epic Books and learn how to find books which match our interest and mark them under favorites to read at a later time. Please watch my tutorial first. In addition continue your keyboarding practice in Typing Club Jr. If you finish this and would like additional practice, please let me know and I can sign you up for Typing Club second grade. Have fun and I will see you again next week! Miss Stephenson Wow, First Graders:
I am super impressed by your progress in Kodable. Some of you have even explored other worlds and challenges. Way to go! For this week, I have opened up functions in Smeeborg. Now this is a very advanced concept. Please watch this video first to understand what a function is. Then go ahead and try it out. Do not worry if you cannot solve the challenges, just give it your best try. In addition, please continue working on Typing Club Junior. Our goal is to finish all the lessons by the end of the trimester. Sending you many greetings and hugs from my house to yours! Miss Stephenson I hope everyone is doing well. We continue with typing and coding this week.
1. Practice 15 min typing club 2x this week. Remember to login with password (your first name and last initial and the password is "stars"). If your child gets done with all the lessons in Typing Club Jr., s/he can practice keyboarding in Abcya Cup Stacking 2. Begin coding sequences in Smeeborg World in Kodable 30 min. this week (this is easier for your student than the Beach Cleanup game from last week; let me know if it is too easy and I can add other coding games. There are instructional videos included in the software and after 3 failed attempts. If you want to use the app instead, please login with the school code which is bhhemrz. For technology class, your student will spend 1 hour each week on the computer. It is entirely up to you how you want to break up the time over the course of the week. I put the links for this week's assignment on the very top of our First Grade website (please bookmark the page for your student):
1. Practice 15 min typing club 2x this week. Remember to login with password (your first name and last initial and the password is "stars"). If your child gets done with all the lessons in Typing Club Jr., s/he can practice keyboarding in Abcya Typing Rocket 2. Begin coding in Kodable 30 min. this week (this is new to your student, but I am confident s/he can figure it out. There are instructional videos included in the software and after 3 failed attempts, your student will get a hint. The assigned lesson is called "Beach Cleanup". If you want to use the app instead, please login with the school code which is bhhemrz. We are using the Kodable to learn about computer science this trimester and focus on age appropriate coding concepts. The drag and drop programming in Kodable is great for our littles to learn about programming logic and critical thinking My dear first grade friends:
Wow, it has only been two weeks since I last saw you, but it seems like a year. I hope you all are doing well and have fun with your family. Are you ready to become an online student? Let's start simple. All I ask you this week is: Practice 15 min typing club 2x this week. Our goal is to finish all lessons of Typing Jr. before summer break. If you are already done, then just go and play on Abcya. Remember to click on 'login with password' (your first name and last initial and the password is "stars") Then go to Epic Books: I have sent an email to your parents with our class code SZQ6974 and explanations of how to sign-up). Please read at least 2 books of your choice. You can use these books for your reading log!!! If you see a book that you would love to read later, just click on the heart in the top left corner and it will be under your favorites. Have fun my friends! Ms. Stephenson |
