Good morning 4th graders 🙂
On a normal Monday morning in March, we would be getting settled into the classroom… Talking about our weekends, getting supplies ready, filling up our water bottles.
But this is not a normal Monday. We cannot physically meet. I cannot give you a high five. We are unable to talk and do our normal daily agenda.
HOWEVER, I introduce you to FlipGrid. I’ve not used this before, but a few teacher friends of mine in other districts have and they will be keeping it active during this time away from the classroom.
What is FlipGrid? https://youtu.be/7q2leZr8k4g
We can still discuss topics from the comforts of our own homes 🙂 You can use a phone/computer/tablet with a video camera. If you do not have a camera, don’t worry. You can respond to your classmates using the comments section and add your own thoughts there 🙂
Our FlipGrid Class Code is: flipgrid.com/whitford1257
Again, I have not tried this yet, so it will take time for all of us to learn how to use this resource. And that is okay, because we have tons of free time now!
I will Dojo message your personal usernames/passwords this morning. Try to log in. I will post our first video discussion around noon, so check back!
