LEARNING FROM HOME -> WEEK 4!

Hi Everyone!

I hope this finds you and your “Family Bubble” all doing well. We are adding so many new words to our daily vocabulary these days. I am sure you all have a very clear understanding for pandemic, virus, unprecedented, “flattening the curve”, “social distancing”, and many more words related to our current situation. Though it is difficult, we, as a province, are doing much better than many others. Hang in there! Things do seem to be improving in New Brunswick.

This week I am adding some reading materials for you. I have registered all my students with an online resource called Currents4Kids. To access this site, you will need to use an assigned username and password which I have. Send me an email (karen.coughlan@nbed.nb.ca) and I will give them to you.

Once you login to the site, I want you to:

1) Read the article titled "Hubble Telescope: Window into a Hidden Universe"

2) When you finish reading, answer the "On-the-Lines" quiz questions. You will have 2 chances to get them right. You can see your results, and a copy is available for me to see too.

3) Next try the "Between-the-Lines" quiz.

4) In the "Respond to This Story" section, choose ONE of the questions and answer it in the "Response" box. When you have finished typing your answer, click "Review", and I will receive your answer.

5) The "Find Out More" section provides opportunities for you to view more information about the Hubble Telescope through articles, pictures, and interactive programs. Take a look at this and see what else you can learn.

Please continue to read other materials of interest to you from whatever sources are available to you – books, magazines, newspapers, online articles, etc… The Choice Board writing assignments are available as well. You may continue to send these to me. I love reading your writing!

Remember to maintain social distancing (2 metres), wash your hands thoroughly and often, and wear a mask (or other covering over you nose and mouth) when in public areas. Parks are open but playgrounds are not.

Have a good week and STAY SAFE!

Mrs. C.
