Distance Learning - More Information

​Parents,
We wanted to share with you some more subject-specific learning opportunities that students can do throughout the week.

Reading/Language Arts
We encourage students to keep a reflection journal and write about their learning experiences and also their daily life. Emphasize to your child that their journals will act as a record of this unique time in our country’s history. These records may someday be the primary sources found in history books!
 
We recommend that students read independently for at least 20 minutes each day. If you do not have books at home, you can access digital books from the Tulsa City-County Library. Find more information here: https://www.bowenpeters.com/distance-learning/ebooks-and-audiobooks
 
In addition to the daily suggestions found in the weekly learning menus, students can choose to practice reading/language arts skills through MobyMax and ReadWorks. More information about these platforms is found here: https://www.bowenpeters.com/distance-learning/readworks and https://www.bowenpeters.com/distance-learning/mobymax.

Math
We are emphasizing review of fifth grade essential skills, including place value, operations with whole numbers and decimals, fractions, data analysis, and algebraic reasoning. Students may choose to add entries to their reflection journal for each math activity they complete. Please encourage your child to not just solve problems, but also explain their reasoning.
 
Weekly learning menus will have a suggested math problem or activity for each day. Students can also practice math skills through MobyMax, Accelerated Math, and XtraMath for fact fluency. More information about these platforms is found here: https://www.bowenpeters.com/distance-learning/accelerated-math and https://www.bowenpeters.com/distance-learning/xtramath-math-fact-practice. Lots of additional math activities will be posted daily at https://www.bowenpeters.com/distance-learning.
 
Science
OETA (PBS) will be airing educational shows geared toward upper elementary students from 8-12:30 every day. You can find a schedule of their programming here: http://www.oeta.tv/blogs/education/distance-learning-with-oeta/.
This is a great time to do some at-home science experiments, such as the ones found here: https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/lab/experiment-library/. MysteryScience has lots of great at-home lessons as well: https://mysteryscience.com/school-closure-planning.

Students are encouraged to record their observations in their reflection journal. We would love for you to share pictures of any experiments you do!
 
Social Studies
In addition to daily activities from the learning menu, we encourage students to watch episodes of Liberty’s Kids -- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeaIWvdbER3Ic90BzhPsH2aJ5KI3UtmM.
These are a fun way to review the events of the American Revolution. There is also lots of social studies programming being shown daily on OETA (see above for schedule). Students may choose to add entries to their reflection journals for each social studies activity they complete.

Enrichment
​ByrdSeed.tv has tons of activities for all subjects. Activities are presented through videos but may require additional materials. https://byrdseed.tv/students/login.php. Use Harding45 for the login name and Missyou for the password.
