Wednesday

Good Morning Everyone here is your morning announcements
Morning Announcements for Wednesday, April 8 2020

Today is a catch-up period for Language. Only a couple of students have sent me classwork. If you haven't hand me anything yet then comment at the bottom as to why.
If you really want to do a writing piece on, "How Much I Miss School and Mr. Singh' you can do that too.

Although it is a catch-up period I would appreciate if you took the time to read for 30 min and practice your typing for 30 min. If you feel that you would benefit from work today, please comment at the bottom and I will assign work to you.

Other than that have a good day. We will be using Google Classroom as of next week. Two students have already accepted the invitation to Google Classroom.

Good morning Bayview Glen P.S.! At Bayview Glen, you matter and you belong!

Today is Tuesday, April 7, 2020.

We hope your first day of online learning went great. We know this is different from the school you’re used to –and we hope to get back to that regular schooling soon—but your teachers are still here for you, so let’s work hard to be successful!

Today we are celebrating a birthday at Bayview Glen P.S. Happy Birthday to … Griffin in Ms. Ejchental’s class! When we are back in school, Griffin, you can all come down to the office for your birthday surprise!

And what’s that, Leo?! You have a Royal Roar for us? Excellent!

Staying at home means everybody has had to take on more responsibility. Owen in Ms. Hanks’ class wanted to make things easier for his family, so he took the initiative to ask his parents for help learning to prepare different food items. He practiced cooking with his mom for a few days … and he now prepares breakfast in the morning on his own, while both parents are busy working from home. Great job, Owen. (And remember, students, if you want to learn to cook, you’ll need your parents help and permission!)

Today’s quote of the day is: “Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.” --Walt Whitman

Let’s stay positive and keep our faces toward the sunshine, Bayview Glen P.S.!

That’s all for today. We’re signing off wishing everybody a Teachable Tuesday!

Good Morning (due Wednesday evening) If you need more time let me know.

William, Noah, Chris, Michael, and Kian--you will be using Google classroom/docs. It is a great platform to get your work done and to communicate with me. You can also ask questions and I can respond to you in real-time. You will also submit your work to me online like you usually do. Just to make it clear--All assignments will be posted in Google Classroom. You will do your classwork on Google Docs and share it with me like we've been doing for months.

Joanna, Viraj, Artin, and Sophia you will be using the blog for your daily work. I will link videos and worksheets. Once you complete your work, ask your parents to email me the worksheets (take a photo of it and will access it and give you feedback using your email address. Okay, everyone reach out to me if you need help. By the way, I miss you all.
