ROOM 16

Remote & Flexible Learning in Room 16

After the holidays, students in Room 16 joined our Webex sessions. Happily, they shared how they feel using an emoji. Each session has a literacy or numeracy focus. This week in Numeracy we focused on money. Students participated in online activities about money such as “Guessing the coin” or “Pay the price”. Further, they demonstrated their understanding through SeeSaw activities about money and worked on other ICT platforms such as Mathletics. 

In Literacy, we started to read a book “Zak’s King Arthur Adventure” on Reading Eggs. Students were able to make connections to their life and answered comprehension questions.
