6/1: It's JUNE!  Let the count-down begin!
I hope that everyone enjoyed this beautiful weekend!  We are winding down to the last two weeks of school!  I can't believe it...but it's here!  Please encourage your student to check the "classwork" in Google Classroom for all their classes and make up any work that is "missing" this week.  There is a new checklist posted in Seesaw for ELA and Science work for this week. It's not much...but will require thought and reflection.  Have a great week!

5/26:  Happy Memorial Day!  Thank you to all the men and woman who fought and continue to fight for our freedom!
I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend!  We are winding down for the end of the school year--I can't believe it's almost June!  This is a short week with a modified schedule.  Please pay attention to the tasks for this week--some have extended due-dates for June 1, so it is recommended you  work a little each day on them. I will be working in small groups this week with a "group call" on Friday. 
**I will not be available on Wednesday for help and there will not be a call that day either.
Have a great week!

5/11: Wishing all the moms, grandmoms, aunts and mother-figures a very Happy Mother's Day!
This week the Lemonade War final video project assigned back on 5/4 is due on the 14th.  That should be your first priority to get done.  Grammar, science, reading fluency, and context clue practice can all be done as soon as you are ready.  The Space Shuttle Poem will be our first focus on Monday's Zoom call.
5B-Don't Forget!  Wear SBS gear and bring the cheer for the virtural clap-out taping that will happen on our Monday am call.  Please try not to be late to the call.  Seesaw has your online work "check-list" that you can edit as you complete your assignment.  Just click on the 3 dots (...) and then click: edit item.  Mark your page as needed.  Have a great week!

5/4: I hope you all enjoyed the gorgeous weekend!  It really was picture-perfect!  We start this week on May 4th...so "May the 4th be with you!" ha!
Focus this week is on finishing the Lemonade War, getting ideas set for the video project, investigating Mars, and going deeper into Chapter 10 in Religion.  There is a editable work check-list for you in Seesaw, or you are welcome to use the one below.  Zoom calls remain the same: M & W: 5B at 10:30; 5A at 11:15 links in GC.  Extra help calls on Tues. & Thrusday at 10:00am (link in GC). 
Have a great week!

4/27: Finishing up April! (Wow!)
This week there are only a few new assignments. This should allow you the extra time to catch up on your Unity Essay, and study for the Science quiz.  Please see below for assignment details. Mrs. Cannizzo will be available for extra help if needed on Tuesday at 10:00am and Thursday at 10:00am via Google Meet.
Zoom calls this week are Monday and Wednesday - Class times and links are available in Google Classroom STREAM.

4/20: WELCOME BACK TO VIRTUAL LEARNING!
I hope that everyone had a restful week off and is ready for learning!
All of your assignments will be posted by 8am Monday morning.  Some are alraedy posted for Sunday in case you wanted a sneak-peak or to get yourself organized for the week.  Zoom calls will take place Mon, Tues. & Thursday for Mrs. Cannizzo and are already linked into your Google Classroom STREAM.  See the below checklist to help you keep track of your work. For the Flipgrid assignment--please take your time and think it through. I want you to be creative and have fun with it!

4/9: Wishing everyone a blessed Easter. May you find peace and joy in the time you are able to spend together. Enjoy the Spring Break week off and I will be back with new lessons and activities on Monday, April 20th. 
**If you have outstanding activities, please complete them by April 13th.**

4/6: Blessings during Holy Week!

We have  a short week this week.  While I know Spring break has an "early start", I would like to meet with the students on Wednesday AM for a Lemonade War story discussion.  The activities this week are short and should all be completed by the end of the day on Wednesday, 4/8.
There is no required SQUIRT this week, please keep up with Lemonade War.
Wishing you all a blessed Easter and a restful spring break. 

3/29: In an effort to help streamline the assignments, and per majority student request, I am going to do all the assignment posting on Monday & Tuesday for the week.  The students will have all week to complete what I put in. I will also put a list of the week's assignments (scroll down to see them) 
Feel free to print this out and have your student use it as a "check list" for the week. 
**Please check your P1/P2 email (Sunday night 3/29) for an important "Parent Permission" form**

In ELA, we will begin the novel,  The Lemonade War by Jaqueline Davies.  This was a book that was listed on the supply list for 5th grade.  If your child does not have a copy--DO NOT WORRY!  I will be reading the book to them AND uploaded links to Youtube where they can sort by chapter and relisten to the story there.  We will discuss during our Zoom calls.

I am scheduling the Zoom calls this week based on your feedback, and I hope that these times will still work for many:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 10:30am
Tuesday 10:00am for Science
Thursday at 10:30am for 5B Religion 

3/22: Thank you for all your help, support, and kind words as we continue through this process of online learning.  Please continue to check your P1 and/or P2 emails for up-to-date information.

3/15: Students have been exposed to all the programs we will be using from home. On Thursday and Friday (March 12 & 13) we "bookmarked" all of them under their SBS account. If your child was absent and needs help to do that from home, please contact me and I can walk them through it. 
The learning platforms we will use include:

Google Classroom (GC)
Seesaw
MobyMax
EPIC! Online
Readworks
FlipGrid
ZOOM

All of these can also be found in the links below on this teacher page. Please feel free to email me at any time with questions.  Assignments will be posted in Google Classroom for:  5B Religion, 5A & 5B ELA, and 5A & 5B Science. 
I will continue to do my best to help ease into this transition of new learning and will continue to keep you and the entire SBS community and their families in my prayers.

Much love,
Mrs. Cannizzo
