4th Grade Remote Learning: Lessons 1 and 2 are out!

Good afternoon 4th Grade families,

I hope you’re doing well out there, while everyone is helping each other to stay safe.

As we’re creating Remote Learning at Yachad, it looks like 4th Grade will stand upon these three things:

  1. Asynchronized lessons on GoogleSlides, which children will soon learn to navigate on their own, and/or can continue navigating with you as their beloved discussion partner. 
  2. Realtime T’Filah on Zoom, Tuesdays 4:30pm, focusing on keeping students and community connected, despite our physical distance.  This is designed to become a rejuvenating time for kids and families alike! You can join every day if you wish, but Tuesdays are especially geared towards 4th Grade. 
  3. Realtime Class Hangouts / Office hours on Zoom, where you can just come hang out if you wish, see familiar welcoming faces, tell us how life is going.  More Info coming soon!
         Plus: Children are also super enjoying making videos for each other on Flipgrid. They might need your login help for that.  Our password is CBEYachad!  https://flipgrid.com/yachad4
 
Here is the new and better version of Week 1’s asynchronized lesson. (That’s March 16-20).
 
(If you were super on top of Monday’s email, you might recognize some previous content from there, plus you’ll find new content, and you’ll definitely see an improved format in the slides, which kids can navigate without being hooked to your email.)
Here are the Slides for next week, Week 2. (That’s March 23-27).
 
As always, feel free to go at your child’s own pace, and do as much or as little as you wish.  (For Lesson 1 in particular: if your child already saw a video previously, they’ll surely tell you; nobody has to watch things again unless they feel like it.  Keep an eye out for the new content, such as discussion questions, flipgrids, and activity ideas.)
As always, feedback from kids and families is very welcome.  What worked? What didn’t work?  Any ways we can support your family in this adventure?
L’shalom,
– ‘Morah’ Leora
