Hello families! I am so excited to see all the students tomorrow for our first Virtual class session. I would appreciate it if your students could have the following items with them:

 

1. paper or a notebook

2. pencils or pens

3. ruler

4. the packets

 

If they do not have these items, they will not be in trouble, but it will make our first three days of learning easier.

 

I am going to go over expectations, review the packets, review the schedule, and check in with how they are feeling and doing over the first three days.

 

Thank you for all of your help, and hope to see many of you later!

Hello families. Just a reminder that tomorrow is Back to School Night at 5 P.M. I have already sent out the link with the Zoom invite yesterday. I am very excited to see all of you including the children if you would like them to join us.  I have really missed all of you, students and their families, over the last few weeks we have not been in school.

I am attaching a PowerPoint presentation with information on it to my webpage. I would greatly appreciate it if you have time before tomorrow night to look it over so you can formulate questions and we can make the Back to School Night event the best use of our time and help you all get a better understanding of what is expected from your students over the next few weeks.

While I will be teaching academics and assigning work to do, your student’s social emotional being is also important to me and we will be having more discussions about feelings, kindness, emotions, and coming up with ways to help ourselves still feel connected even though we are apart. I will be doing a kindness challenge and as soon as I have figured out what that looks like I will let you all know.

I am so excited to see everyone tomorrow and to see all the students on Wednesday!  Please take care, stay safe, and reach out if you need anything.

Thank you for all that you are doing to help your students succeed!

Ms. Lauren

Hello families. I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy.  I know it has been a bit of a chaotic and confusing time as we have shifted to online learning. I wanted to reach out on my webpage and tell you all of the things I sent out over the last few days:

 

1. Zoom Meetings for ELA/Math 9-11 AM - starting April 8th until May 21st (will send out a second batch later as we approach the end of this window)

2. Zoom Meeting Office hours for Monday/Wednesday 11:30 - 12:00 starting April 8th (this is a time for questions, concerns, or students needing help or parents needing help to Zoom with me)

3. Zoom Meeting Office hours for Tuesday and Thursdays starting April 9th from 11 to 12 (This hour is more for parents to ask questions if they have some)

4. Zoom Meeting for Thursday lunch and story time with Ms. Lauren - 12 to 1 starting April 16th

5. Back to School Night Zoom Meeting - Tuesday, April 7th at 5 to 6 P.M. (questions, comments, concerns, clarifications)

6. Individual One-on-one Zoom meetings (if you need times adjusted please let me know and I can see what I can do to accommodate you)

7. I sent out your student's school email account which they will use for Google Classroom, which will be another access point of assignments and materials.

8. Lastly, I sent out a Google Classroom invite to my students.

 

If you did not receive something please let me know as soon as possible so I can send it to you.  I appreciate all of the hard work and patience you have been putting in during this challenging time. I am really excited to get back to working with you and your students! I have missed them so much since we left on that Friday.

 

Ms. Lauren

Please check your emails being that I am sending out Zoom meeting information for ELA and Math blocks, Office hours, and individual one on one sessions.

 

Hope everyone is doing well. I really miss seeing all of the kids every day and am very excited to begin online instruction Wednesday.

Hello families. Hope you are all doing well and the students are enjoying their spring break this week.  I would like them to have the homework packets with them when we begin online learning next Wednesday because we will review some of the pages they have completed.  I am going to go back and review the last lesson of Chapter 7 and the practice test before giving them an online assessment on that chapter then we will move on to Chapter 8 material.  For ELA, we will be reading the story, The Goat in the Rug, and practicing using the suffixes -y, -ly, and -ful.  We will also be practicing the use of irregular verbs.  We will do reader’s notebook pages whole class and then take the tests online on Friday. I am going to ask Ms. Karly if we will be doing spelling tests; however, if we do decide to do spelling tests, we will probably just have one list so that it is easier for everyone.

 

Please take care and continue to reach out with questions or concerns. I am looking forward to seeing the kids next week on Zoom and begin our online learning journey together.

 

Thank you for everything you are doing.

 

Ms. Lauren (This was also sent out via email).

Hello families. I have sent out a variety of things to you over the last two days. I have invited you to Epic, which is a reading website. I also sent out the login information for Let's Go Learn, IXL, and both the Math and Language Arts curriculum. These websites will be very helpful to you and your student in the next few weeks. I will probably assign work on the Math/Language Arts website once we begin online learning. I have already assigned some books through Epic. Lastly, I wanted to remind you to register for the Six Flags Read to Succeed Program and make sure to log your hours by April 1st.  If you need the code or have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
