Beginning this week, students should be able to find specific assignments to work on in Moby Max under the Assignments tab after logging in.  There should be at least one lesson per subject for the week, possibly more.  Students should begin working on these at their pace, continuing to aim for the work times below.  If assignments for each subject don't show up in the assignments section, or you have any problems finding them, please let me know right away so I can help getting students rolling in the right direction!

5/6 Advocacy Activities 

Monday- I have a strict belief that the more we know about a place the more we want to care for it. We can’t travel many places right now, but we can still appreciate what Earth has to offer. Let's travel using Google Earth. (https://www.google.com/earth/) Use the Search function to look up these different places: 1. Your house 2. Westgate Community School - you'll be able to see what it looked like before we had our playground 3. Favorite nature area to visit 4. Favorite City to visit 5. Somewhere you want to visit      Use the Street View function (the little guy above the black and white Earth on the bottom right hand corner of the screen) to look around each of these places.  

 

Tuesday – Head to Mrs. Valenza’s Staff Profile Page to hear her reading The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry.

  

Wednesday - Load up a good playlist, your favorite album, or your favorite song on repeat for a 15 minute walk (at least!).  

 

Thursday - Earth Day is next Wednesday. What better time to learn about this EPIC day??? Here is one article from Scholastic.

               And this history article is straight from the Earth Day website. Make sure to watch video from this page about the 1^st Earth Day where Denver is featured!  

               Ask yourself, your family, a neighbor, a friend: Where would you be on this 1^st Earth Day in 1970 as a student? On the capital steps? At school? Riding your bike around town?  

 

Friday - Originally, we were going to have an Earth Day fair at Westgate (next Wednesday) but that can’t happen anymore. We’re going to celebrate in a little different way. Head to Mrs. Valenza’s Staff Profile page to hear what she wants you to do! 

As always please feel free to email me with any questions!
