Long Weekend

10/19/2018

Thursday we had a writing lesson called Show Me Don't Tell Me, which focuses on adding detail and description in writing. We got into a very exciting part of the Global Read Aloud and found out that Amal has become a servant to a powerful oppressive landlord. What will happen next? After more practice finding GCF/LCM in math, we had our big 50 word review test to see if we are retaining the vocabulary we have been building up over the last 5 weeks. We finished off the week working on our personal collages in art. Several students are finishing up and the collages are looking great. Have a fantastic long weekend!!

1) HOMEWORK:

GCF/LCM handout

I helped my mom by explaining to her how we use fresh grade and answering her questions about my projects. She learned how to use fresh grade and also learned that we are marked with colors, for example
Green is for extending
Yellow is for applying
Orange is for begging, developing

Mr.Fisher, how do you login into your account for parents?

Mr Fisher

10/20/2018 11:38:14 pm

@Mountain I sent your parents an invite and they have to use the invite and make their own password, just like you did.

10/21/2018 10:10:20 am

Thank you Mr.Fisher, but how come my parents said that they did not receive any invite or password?

Mr. Fisher my mom and dad already know how to use freshgrade. They used it last year so I didnt have to teach them anything. My mom has also been seekng my posts and has been commenting.

My mom logged on very easily and posted all she needed on my portfolio.

Mr. Fisher

10/20/2018 11:39:26 pm

That is great, please complete the PAR as posted:)

10/20/2018 04:26:24 pm

Mr Fisher i am finished all my homework and im bored so im gonna go do another paragraph for my alpha bio.

10/20/2018 08:42:21 pm

@Mr. Fisher
I emailed you on your gmail account, but posting here in case you see this first. My parents deleted the invite to my portfolio by accident and didn't join (they already had an account from last year which may be why they are showing up).

Please resend an invitation email to the address I specified in my gmail. Thanks in advance, and sorry for any inconvenience.

10/20/2018 11:40:48 pm

@Joseph I’ll send a new invite tomorrow:)

10/21/2018 08:20:49 am

Thanks Mr. Fisher! :D

Mr. Fisher do you mind if i come on Monday at 8:30 to get some work submitted and polished up with you.

Mr, Fisher

10/20/2018 11:36:28 pm

@ Nicholas. You are welcome to come Monday morning. I will be at school by 840.

10/20/2018 10:25:00 pm

I helped my parents by finding the invitation email. And also i helped my mom comment on 3 of my activities or lessons.

I helped my parents by reading what Mr Fisher has commented and my comments. I showed my parents all my marks and what I need to work on. I also told my parents how to comment on freshgrade. Mr Fisher my parents couldn’t log into freshgrade so they commented in my account.

My mom already signed into Freshgrade in the beginning of the year. She has also been looking at my Freshgrade and has communicated about it with me. So, I didn't need to help her comment on my work.

Hey Mr. Fisher, we can't find the invitations for FreshGrade. It might've got lost through all the others emails, or we just didn't get one. Tomorrow can you tell me the email you sent it to? Thanks

My parents already knew how to log on to the Fresh Grade sites once Mr. Fisher sent them the invitation email in the beginning of the year; however, they have now learned a lot of important things from me that they did not know before.
On Fresh Grade, my parents know more about the assignments and the learning intentions that the teacher has given to me. They know the instructions on how to do the project and when it is due. That way, my parents aren’t in the dark.
The Weebly site post what we do in class on a daily basis, while from Fresh Grade My parents have learned about my achievements and also things that I need to work on. Before, my parents didn’t know how to help me in my school work or improve on my weaknesses because they didn’t know my weaknesses, now they know how to improve me.
Fresh Grade is very convenient for my parents. They could easily check it any time they wanted to, and they could easily communicate with the teacher about me and listen to his advice.
All in all, Fresh Grade will really help the teacher and my parents bring me up to my full potential.

I shared the handout with my parents and we went over it together. They commented on my FreshGrade, giving me advice and feedback. They’re up to date on my projects and assignments that I have done and they know what I’m good at and what I can work on.

10/21/2018 07:32:41 pm

After we got the invite sorted out, my parents had no problems logging in to my portfolio. They looked at my work very carefully and didn't have any issues as they already knew how to comment, etc from last year :D

FreshGrade is a good medium for information sharing between the student, teacher and parents, as using it students can share information that isn't readily available to their parents. I look forwards to using it!

My mom signed up FreshGrade at the beginning of the year. She has viewed the most recent posts，so she knows how it all works. But I went over the learning intentions of everything with her and my mom asked me some questions from the handout guide.This process helped me reflect on my own work and progress.

My mom has learned that the different colours for the assessment are developing, applying and extending. My mom is looking forward to my responses to her comments and she really appreciates the self reflection that is built into this process.
