ONLINE Classroom Happenings for April 10^th-17^th, 2020

Just a few things:

1. New assignments have been posted for Week 2! These have a due date and we are now asking if you can either submit your child’s work right on google or take a picture of it and send it on dojo. This helps us to document which students are making an effort to participate in their academic activities.

2. Starting next week, April 17^th, we will begin Phase II of online learning. We will be presenting one NEW skill per week in each subject (math, ELA, science, social studies). We will continue that through May and school will end as scheduled on June 3rd. Moving forward, there will be assignments given on the new material, as well as some review assignments.

3. Please continue to check your Class Dojo app frequently. We are still using this to communicate with each other any day or time. I will be sending weekly messages to families using Class Dojo. Office hours are through Google Meet on Tuesday and Thursday from 1-3 pm. You can use this time for phone calls, questions or showing completed work...or just for your kids to say hi to me and each other!

STAY WELL!

ONLINE Classroom Happenings for April 1-10, 2020

Note: This week we will begin our online review and enrichment activities! Many of you have already logged on and begun completing the activities assigned. That's great! Activities will remain posted for one week. New assignments will be given every Friday. If you have questions or need help with anything, I am always available on our ClassDojo. We will continue to use that as our primary form of communication.

For those families who opted to do paper packets, they will be distributed on Fridays from 4:00-6:00 pm or Mondays from 9:00-11:00 am. The first packet pickup is scheduled for Friday, April 3rd. Please remember to pull curbside at the elementary school and a school employee will place the packet in your trunk. 

Throughout all of the unknowns we are experiencing right now, keep in mind the most important things are to keep your child reading daily and practicing their addition and subtraction facts. My students did take home their spelling notebooks as well as their sight word notebooks. It will be beneficial for your child to review and practice them a few times a week. 

Just as a reminder and a point of reference, this is how you would log your child onto Classlink followed by my Google Classroom....
