Agenda and Homework
Virtual School (ZOOM) for Room 18
April 19 - 23, 2021
Dear Room 18 Parents,
Below, is a letter from Tiffani, regarding CAASPP Testing, which begins Monday (April 19). Room 18 will be testing on Thursday April 22, and Thursday April 29, (not last week as stated in last week’s agenda.) Please read the letter carefully. Below the letter, you will find t his week’s agenda.
Dear Parent(s) and Guardian(s):
For the 2021 spring administration of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) for English language arts/literacy (ELA), mathematics, science, students will be able to take their assigned tests remotely or in-person. Our priority is to keep our students and educators safe by following state, county, and local health and safety requirements associated with the current pandemic.
This letter provides information about what students testing remotely need. Students will take the test from the safety of their homes. The test administrator or examiner will connect with each child by computer. To make sure that each student receives the most accurate score, we are providing the following guidelines for student testing:
- You may assist your child with setting up the technology used to enter the test session.
- To keep the test fair for all students, we ask that you do not talk about the questions on the test or any materials for the test with anyone before, during, or after the test.
- No one may record the test or use a camera or another device to take pictures of the test questions or of your child taking the test. This helps to keep the questions confidential.
- We need to know that the test is being completed by your child without any help. To verify compliance, a web camera and microphone will be used to observe your child while taking the test. The camera is only used to observe your child and the surroundings during the test and will not record the session.
- Please follow all instructions given by the test administrator or examiner to place the camera where your child and the child’s immediate surroundings can be observed.
If your child is experiencing computer issues the homeroom teacher will give them an alternative date when they need to come to the school for in-person testing. Please ensure that your student is brought to the Hayward Campus by 9:15AM. Students will need to bring their device along with earphones.
In-Person testing will be completed on the day that your student is on campus for in-person learning. Students will need to bring their device along with earphones.
Testing will begin on Monday, April 19th. Please contact your student’s homeroom teacher for specific dates and test that will be given.
If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Ms. Aishan at [email protected] for more information.
Thank you for making sure your child is ready to test. With your help, we can ensure that your child, as well as all students in California, are provided with the best opportunity to succeed and show what they know.

Agenda and Homework for April 12 - 16, 2021
Agenda and Homework
Virtual School (ZOOM) for Room 18
April 12 –16, 2021
Parents: This week’s agenda has a lot of information in it. I’m sending it early, so you can read it in sections if you like. Please see the school website for the English version of the letter below. It’s in a different format that does not transfer accurately to our agenda.
Queridas familias:
Escribimos hoy para compartir algunas noticias emocionantes mientras hacemos un descanso de una semana para descansar y recargar energías antes de abordar el resto del año escolar. Después de las vacaciones de Primavera, comenzaremos el proceso de regresar a los estudiantes al campus para que aprendan en persona.
A principios de este año, los expertos en salud pública locales, estatales y federales comenzaron a llegar a un consenso sobre cómo se ve poder brindar un entorno de aprendizaje seguro para los estudiantes y el personal de las escuelas. Desde entonces, hemos estado planificando la mejor manera de brindar oportunidades de aprendizaje en persona de manera segura.
A partir de la semana del 12 de Abril, brindaremos oportunidades de aprendizaje en persona para aquellos estudiantes que estaban interesados en regresar mientras continuamos ofreciendo una opción completa de aprendizaje a distancia para los estudiantes que aún no están listos para regresar al campus. Por supuesto, garantizar la salud y la seguridad de nuestra comunidad escolar es nuestra principal prioridad y hemos realizado cambios e inversiones importantes para estar lo más seguros posible, que incluyen:
- Escritorios espaciados a 3 pies de distancia
- Equipo de EPP (mascarillas, guantes, etc.)
- Uso del espacio al aire libre
- Medidas de filtración de aire
- Estaciones de desinfectante de manos
- Divisores de escritorio para estudiantes
Nuestro primer paso para traer a los estudiantes de regreso al campus de Hayward (1570 Ward Street Hayward, CA 94541) permitirá que cada estudiante pueda estar en la escuela un día a la semana. Hacemos esto por un par de razones. Primero, estamos siendo deliberados e intencionales acerca de una reapertura gradual que nos permita aprender y hacer los cambios necesarios con una cantidad mínima de posibles interrupciones. En segundo lugar, debido a los cambios en la ley de escuelas autónomas en 2019, actualmente tenemos prohibido usar el espacio en nuestras instalaciones de San Leandro. Como saben, estamos trabajando en nuestras opciones de instalaciones para continuar usando la Iglesia Luterana Epiphany o asegurar otra instalación antes del año escolar 2021-22. Sin embargo, durante el resto de este año, estamos limitados al espacio en nuestra ubicación de Hayward, lo que afecta la cantidad de estudiantes que podemos tener en el campus a la vez.
Horas de escuela: 9am –3pmEn-Persona9am –4pmDistance Learning
* Los estudiantes no pueden llegar antes de las 8:45 am al campus de Hayward.
* Los horarios de las clases de Idiomas del Mundo han cambiado y serán compartidos por los maestros de salón. No habrá clases de idiomas los días de aprendizaje presencial.
Para mantener a todos a salvo, se implementarán algunas nuevas medidas de seguridad:
- Se deben usar máscaras faciales en todo momento, excepto para comer o beber.
- Mínimo de 3-6 pies de distancia social en todo momento.
- Los padres / tutores no pueden entrar a la escuela. Los padres / tutores deben dejar a sus estudiantes en el frente del edificio y no deben dejar su vehículo.
- Todos los estudiantes deben completar un cuestionario de autoevaluación antes de venir a la escuela. Si alguna respuesta a las preguntas es “sí”, debe quedarse en casa y asistir al programa de aprendizaje a distancia ese día e informar ala oficina al 510-397-2524.
- Si necesita recoger a su hijo temprano, llame primero a la oficina.
- Se espera que todos los estudiantes usen una máscara y tendrán que atravesar las puertas de la cafetería y tomar su temperatura (cualquier persona con una temperatura superior a 100F o síntomas de COVID-19 será enviada a casa) y desinfectar las manos antes de ingresar al edificio.
- Los estudiantes deben ir a su área designada en el asfalto y pararse en la línea de su clase a 3 pies de distancia.
- Los estudiantes deberán desinfectarse las manos al entrar y salir del aula.
- Todas las comidas y refrigerios se consumirán en los salones de clases, al aire libre o en espacios comunes y serán monitoreados por el personal. Los estudiantes o el personal irán a la cafetería a recoger un almuerzo caliente para llevar.
- Las mochilas y chaquetas de los estudiantes deben colocarse en el respaldo de sus sillas.
- A la hora de salida, los estudiantes se alinearán afuera de la clase para esperar a sus padres / tutores. Por favor, diríjase a la zona amarilla para recoger a los estudiantes. Permanezca en su vehículo.
- La hora de salida es a las 3:00 pm. No ofreceremos cuidado después de la escuela en este momento.
- Las aulas se desinfectan con soluciones de limpieza EPA COVID-19. Cada salón también contará con desinfectante para manos y toallitas desinfectantes para usar durante el día.
A los estudiantes que no sigan nuestras medidas de seguridad se les pedirá que continúen el resto del año en nuestro programade aprendizaje a distancia.
Cada maestro enviará una lista de materiales necesarios para la instrucción en persona. También tendrán los horarios actualizados específicos para compartir con usted antes de que regresemos a En persona.
Mientras los profesores imparten clases en persona, también podrían transmitir la lección en vivo para los estudiantes en el programa de aprendizaje a distancia. Entendemos que puede haber algunos problemas de conectividad a Internet ya que todos transmitimos en vivo desde nuestras aulas, por favor, por el paciente mientras intentamos reconectarnos. Los maestro'sque no transmitan en vivo tendrán lecciones pregrabadas para que los estudiantes accedan. En caso de que Internet no esté disponible durante el resto del día, los estudiantes tendrán que completar un trabajo independiente.
A medida que hacemos la transición alperíodo limitado de aprendizaje en persona, evaluaremos continuamente sus comentarios y la orientación más reciente de nuestros expertos ensalud pública para satisfacer las necesidades de tantos estudiantes como sea posible.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo y paciencia. Esperamos verlos a usted y a sus hijos cuando reanudemos las clases el 12 de abril. Para obtener más información sobre la reapertura y otras medidas de seguridad que tomará la escuela, consulte el sitio web de nuestra escuela en "Padres" y luego en "Recursos COVID-19". Si tiene alguna pregunta, llame a la oficina al 510-397-2524.

Agenda and Homework for 11/30 - 12/4, 2020
Agenda and Homework
Virtual School (ZOOM) for Room 18
November 30 - December 4, 2020
Estimados padres de Salon 18: 30 de noviembre de 2020
Espero que hayan tenido unas maravillosas vacaciones de Acción de Gracias. En el salón 18, los estudiantes frecuentemente discuten acerca de reunirse con primos y otros miembros de la familia. Qué buena manera de pasar el tiempo.
En el salón 18 estamos comenzando a tener un problema de ausencias repetidas y no participación. Recuerde a su hijo que asistir y participar en una clase virtual es tan importante como asistir y participar en una clase física. Demasiadas ausencias afectarán negativamente la calificación de un estudiante, al igual que no participar en la clase.
Participar en nuestra clase virtual significa estar presente, preparado con todo lo necesario para la clase. La participación significa que los estudiantes responden cuando se les llama, se unen a las salas de reuniones e inician sesión en los sitios de computadoras de la clase durante el tiempo de clase. Para los estudiantes con velocidad interna lenta, esta es la única forma en que puedo saber si están presentes. Cuando la cámara de un estudiante está apagada, y ese estudiante repetidamente no responde cuando se le llama y no se une a las salas de grupos, se presume que está ausente.
Proporcione a su hijo un lugar tranquilo para participar. Los sonidos de fondo fuertes en el entorno de un estudiante interfieren con la experiencia ZOOM de todos. Si un estudiante asiste a clases desde otro lugar que no sea su casa, asegúrese de que traiga sus materiales de clase.
La clase virtual viene con algunos desafíos únicos. para los estudiantes, participar desde la calidez y la comodidad del hogar simplemente no se siente como en la escuela. Y las obligaciones de los padres pueden interferir con la capacidad de un estudiante para asistir. Con suerte, el refugio en el lugar terminará pronto. Mientras tanto, esta es la mejor manera de mantener a los estudiantes aprendiendo y mantenernos a todos libres de enfermedades.
Mire su correo electrónico para ver nuestra agenda semanal y el horario de tareas. Le mostrará lo que los estudiantes están estudiando cada semana, así como el tiempo que se enseña cada asignatura.
Gracias por tu apoyo
Sra. Robin
Agenda and Homework
Virtual School (ZOOM) * Room 18 * 6th Grade
November 30, 2020
Dear Room 18 Parents,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. In Room 18, students frequently mention gathering with cousins and other family members. What a nice way to spend time.
In Room 18 we are beginning to have an issue of repeated absences and non-participation. Please remind your child that attending and participating in virtual class is just as important as attending and participating in physical class. Too many absences will negatively affect a student’s grade, as will not participating in class.
Participation in our virtual class means being present, prepared with everything needed for class. Participation means students respond when called on, join Breakout Rooms, and log onto class computer sites during class time. For students with slow internet-speed, this is the only way I can tell if they are in attendance. When a student’s camera is off, and that student repeatedly fails to respond when called on, and does not join Breakout Rooms, they are presumed to be absent.
Please provide your child with a quiet place to participate. Loud background sounds in one student’s environment, interferes with everyone’s ZOOM experience. If a student is attending class from someplace other than home, please make sure they bring their class materials with them.
Virtual class comes with some unique challenges. For students, participating from the warmth and comfort of home just doesn’t feel like school. And, parental obligations can interfere with a student’s ability to attend. Hopefully, the shelter-in-place will end soon. In the mean time, this is the best way to keep students learning and keep all of us free of illness.
Please watch your email for our weekly Agenda and Homework Schedule. It will show you what students are studying each week, as well as the time each subject is taught.
Thank you for your support
Ms. Robin

* a visual that illustrates something about your civilization,
* a presentation in which you read your essay to the class and tell about your visual.
About the Essay
Your essay should answer the questions, who, what, when, where, why, and how. Attached is a worksheet to help you organize your thoughts and information.
Your essay should be typed on Google Classroom, using a 12-point, Times New Roman font (What you’re reading right now.). Line spacing should be 1 – ½. DO NOT DOUBLE-SPACE between lines or paragraphs. Remember to indent each paragraph.
Your essay will be graded on originality and accuracy. You must use your own words. Also be sure to use correct spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. The paragraphs should flow into each other in a logical sequence.
About the Visual
Your visual should be a PowerPoint or Google Slide show, and contain pictures that help you to teach about your civilization. Ex. a chart, maps, images of people, landscapes, etc.
Your visual will be graded on creativity, attractiveness, accuracy, and relevance.
About the Presentation
Be prepared to read your essay and tell about your visual to the class during the week of November 23. Practice ahead of time so that you are able to read fluently and speak loudly, clearly, and confidently.

How to Make a Paper Mache Earth
You will need:
½ cup of flour and 1 cup of water
several pages of newspaper
scissors and a spoon
about 24 inches of string
something to color with (markers, colored pencils, crayons, etc)
Step 1: Pour the flour into a small bowl. Slowly stir in water, until you have a paste the consistency of pancake batter. Set the paste aside.
Step 2: Gently tear, or cut, some of the newspaper into strips about 1 inch wide and 12 inches long; about the width and length of a ruler. Set the strips aside.
Step 3: Take several whole sheets of newspaper and ball them up into a ball.
Step 4: Immerse one of the newspaper strips into the paste, then, gently lift it out.
Slide the excess paste off with your fingers.
Step 5: Wrap the paste-covered strip around the newspaper ball. After you have wrapped several layers of newspaper around the ball, wrap the string around the ball once, making sure the ends are hanging down and are the same length.
Step 6: Continue wrapping paste-covered newspaper strips around the ball until it grows to the size you want. Cover the ball with a final layer of dry newspaper strips.
Step 7: Tie the ends of the string together, and hang your model up to dry.
NOTE: When your model is dry, we’ll color it and add some labels.
