Welcome Students and Parents of Division 7!

I hope that this will be a place where we can better open the lines of communication between myself, the students and the parents/guardians. I also hope to use this space as part of my general encouragement to use various forms of technology to help us learn in different and meaningful ways.

How Have you Been Spending your Time?

5/4/2020

Hey Everybody! I am hoping to do some school type stuff with you all online soon. I am just waiting for the schools to decide how they want to do it and when we can start. Hopefully that will be soon to give you all a bit more to do during the day.

While we wait for that day, I have decided that I will be posting to my website. Starting with this post, I will post something every day. I hope that you can stop by and check. If you leave a comment, or a question, I will reply to them all. It will be good to hear from everyone! Today's post is focusing on how I am spending the majority of my time lately. I don't want to bore you with the pictures of school stuff, so I have included pictures and details that are focusing more on what I am doing with my family.

We are definitely doing our best to keep having fun with our activities while we are staying safe at home. Hockey is probably the thing that we do the most. If the weather is nice, we play on the driveway. If the weather is bad, I cleaned out the garage so we can play in there as well. We are also building a lot. Zack built a jail out of coloured straws and Jon finally got around to making the Lego set he got for his birthday. While we mostly stay at home, we do enjoy some outdoor time with some socially distanced bike and scooter rides. There is a pond not far from our house that has ducks and turtles that the boys like to check up. I'd be lying if I said TV and video games were not a part of what we are doing, but we are trying not to make it the whole day. The kids (and I) are happy about the new Pokemon series that came out on Netflix and the boys are getting pretty good at Mario Party. We are mixing in some school stuff as well. I have the kids doing some reading and writing every weekday. We are also practicing our math and doing some art projects. It's not the same as being at school, but we are making the best of the situation.

So what have you all been up to? Do you have any suggestions for the boys and I to try? Leave a message in the comments section and I'll get back to you!

I'll have another post for you tomorrow (Monday).

Hi Zara! Your websites are pretty safe and protected from the general internet by needing a password to access. That being said, I'd make sure it is ok with your parents first. If there is anyone in the picture that isn't your family, I would probably check with them/their family to make sure it is ok as well.

I really just had to come up with ideas for things to do to keep my kids from getting bored and then just getting on each nerves. At times, I sometimes wish they were a little older so they could be happier just sitting and reading a book. What have you been doing with all of your time off, Maya?

I've just been doing things like math, English, and then of course what all kids would do, playing video games.

Hi Mr. Martin. You look like you are having lots of fun with your family and me and my family also had a barbecue today and yesterday. I hope you and your family are having a great time. 😀

Are you going to give us worksheets because my mom made me spend the time doing long division, long multiplication, addition, and subtraction.

Some form of online stuff will probably happen soon, but I have to wait for the Vancouver School Board to say it is ok to start. If we end up covering some of those things, you will have a head start!

Sounds like you're having lots of fun! We have been going on lots of scooter and bike rides with Riley. We are also doing school work and my granny reads to me and my cousins on zoom every day.

Yay Riley! Probably good to have a puppy friend around right now. Glad to hear you are staying active and keeping busy. Jonny and Zack send pictures to their grandparents and make them guess what they drew everyday. Fun way to stay connected.

Hi Mr. Martin, I have been walking a lot, we went to Iona beach, it’s pretty cool! Maybe you and the boy’s should go too.

Iona Beach is very nice. The boys can generally only last for smaller trips still. I thought about taking them for a ride on the Boundary Bay Dyke Trail. Have to wait and see. I'm glad you are staying active.

You don't have to post anything at all. I am posting something everyday. You are all welcome to come by and comment. Eventually we'll have a plan for doing some work. This is just something I am doing while we wait.

Messenger Kids has become pretty big here as well. Lots of video chats where they play little games together and BARELY talk to each other! Oh well, at least they are happy. Glad to hear you are having some fun.

Hi Mr.Martin I’ve mostly been on my trampoline for at least an hour a day and I’ve been reading and playing video games with my friends playing catch with my siblings and playing with my rc cars.

Sounds like you are keeping busy. I might be setting up the class with the same typing program soon...although it is really tough because not everyone has a keyboard. Math and writing will be back soon though :)
