Virtual grade five students have morning exercises, just like students in school. But we're using slides, updated daily or weekly.
We don't all get into the virtual classroom at the exact same time, so we begin with breathing silently while listening to our song of the week. ->
We observe the Land Acknowledgement of #TDSB @UIEC_Tdsb. Students can volunteer to read the acknowledgement. They choose to sit or stand. ->
An audio file of O Canada is embedded in the slide, and a student's choice to sing or not is respect and supported. All participants have the choice to remain seated, to stand, or to take a knee. All choices are respected and supported. ->
This slide keeps us up-to-date each week. When I have all my data, we'll add birthdays -- with student consent -- as well! ->
The Thought of The Day might be a reflection or a short poem. Students are welcome to contribute their own if they choose to do so. This may prompt discussion or reflection during class. ->
As a class, we are working on a Class Code of Conduct which draws from #TDSB's human rights polices and the online code, as well as other ideas students have.
