2020 Vision

Welcome back to Our Grade 5 Blog!  

Dear Grade 5 Students,

We know that it has been a very long time since Winter Vacation began.  It is highly likely that over the break, you completely forgot about our new Literacy Blog.  

Have no fear, this week we will remind you about the blog and ask you to re-test using it before we get into our homework routines moving forward for the rest of the year. 

This week's task is fairly simple.  
Write about your vacation.  
Here are some questions to help you focus your writing:
-What did you do?  
-Did you travel anywhere?  If so, where?  
-Did you spend time with family?  
-What did you do?  
-Did you have any special celebrations or meals?  
-What was your favorite part of the holiday?  
-What are you most looking forward to now that you're back at school?

Please remember blog format expectations.  Start with a greeting (for example: Dear All,),  write in complete sentences (minimum of 5), no texting SMS acronyms or codes, and end with a closing and sign off (like you'll see below).  

We can not wait to hear all about your vacations. 
Happy Blogging,
Ms. Meghan Rae Roeder & Ms. Nancy Wilcox

Testing, Testing, is This Thing On?

Welcome to Our Grade 5 Blog! 

Here on this Blog, we will work together to build Web 2.0 Digital literacy skills.  
This will be a shared blog between both 5A & 5B.  This way we can communicate,share our ideas, as well as learn and grow altogether.  

Learning how to interact with, post comments, replies, and reactions, an ever changing form of media are an important set of skills for 21st century international learners. 

This week you will do a test run of the blog.
Can you sign up for Blogger using your school email?  (Make your sign in your First Name) Can you post a comment?

Please write a comment to this Blog Post.  Write in Letter format.

1. Start with a greeting and a comma
"Dear Classmates,"  or "Hi Everyone on the Web,"

2. Write a comment.  Include your thoughts, feelings, reactions, comments, and/or questions about using this blog.

3. End your Comment with a sign off.  Include your name.
"Your friend, John"   or    "Have fun on the Web!  John"  

(We'll show you an example below of what a comment this week might look like.)

Happy Blogging!
