Wow, this whole learning and teaching from home has been interesting! Thank you to students and parents for being patient as I've worked on different ways of engaging with the students.
Weekly Class Meetings
Moving forward my plan is to continue meeting with students once a week on Teams.
- Giant's Head Group: Tuesdays at 1pm
- Penticton Morning Group: Wednesdays at 10am
- Penticton Afternoon Group: Wednesdays at 1pm
I will aim to keep the sessions to 30 - 40 minutes in length. In the sessions I have been:
- providing the opportunity for students to share any updates on what they are doing
- we've met family pets and we can't wait wait to meet a new puppy next week :-)
- going over the Scratch projects students have been working on
- playing a short game -- this week it was "What's the Difference". Students were on camera, then went off camera to change one thing about their appearance. When they came back we had to guess what was different. Usually it was something subtle, but one student came back looking similar to this guy!

Starting this week, my goal will be to create a slideshow for each class in Teams, that I can then share here. That way the information and links that I've shared with students are also available to parents.

I am also continually updating this document with links to "How To" videos for what we've been doing in Scratch. Students (and parents) are encouraged to get in touch with me if they have any questions. Questions can be e-mailed to me, or posted in Teams. I will try to respond as soon as possible.
Thanks for checking in to see what we've been up to, and I look forward to seeing the students again next week!
