Internet Update for Upper Elementary:
Dear Parents,
Upon return from the Winter Holidays, the grade 3-5 students returned to 8 new Chromebook laptops for student learning in each of their classrooms. The Chromebooks integrate with the Google accounts that students started using mid October. Google Apps for Education and the Chromebooks are enhancing our students anytime/anywhere access to online learning tools.
To fully access the learning potentials with Google accounts and Chromebooks, Grade 3-5 students will be given school e-mail accounts through Gmail starting mid February. They will have a lesson on e-mail etiquette and a review of M’KIS Digital Citizenship practices with the 3-5 IT Facilitator, Sara Best, prior to receiving e-mail access. Student e-mail accounts will be limited to messages to/from M’KIS students and teachers within their respective grade levels and receiving account verification e-mails from online educational tools that are part of the school Google Apps for Education.
As the Alternate Dress Day for WWF (Conservation Week) falls on Friday, April 25th while we are on our overnight trip, the Grade 4's & 5's will have their alternate dress day on Tuesday, April 22nd ...the day before the grade 5s leave for their trip. The rest of the school would remain on Friday, April 25th. Students will be reminded of his closer to the date!
Science project completed (Erosion & Weathering):
Students were working hard on creating a final project for Erosion and Weathering, before the long Christmas break. We final managed to get the last pieces of it together, and it is now published online. Each student has posted the final piece on their Google Site, but you can also access it by clicking on the following link. Students should be very proud of their final product, and their efforts along the way. They made use of the Ipads, their Google Docs, Google Presentations and the computers in the lab here at school, and applied their understanding of erosion and weathering to put together a very informative and interesting newsletter!
