4.10 Because of the Rabbit- the finale

Happy Friday everyone,

I'm not assigning any new work for today.  Fridays will be a day for your child to catch up on work, take a break or enjoy a family day. 

A note about "turning in" work: Please know that I'm seeing your child's work in Google Classroom.  The reason I've asked students not to select the "turn in" button is because once they do this the document is only accessible by the teacher.  This means the student is no longer able to open the document and revise it.  If your child has been "turning in" the work that's ok.  In the future, I would like to be able to comment on your child's work to provide praise and feedback.  Today, I'm celebrating that we've completed our first week of learning using Google Classroom!

 I'll be working on my plans for next week today and meeting with colleagues.  Please feel free to contact me as I'll be available to help with any questions or concerns.  

Enjoy a restful weekend and thank you for everything you are doing at home!!

4.6 Monday's Learning Opportunities and Because of the Rabbit

Hello everyone,

I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather this weekend.  

Beginning this week I'll assign daily work through your child's Google Classroom account and a daily email.  I will use both these modes of communication for the next few weeks.  A new lesson for writing and math will be sent early in the week.  The remainder of the week, students will receive activities to reinforce these skills.  The daily read aloud, Because of the Rabbit can be viewed through Google Classroom, the daily email and blog.

Your child may type their work onto many of the documents assigned in Google Classroom. You can also print the assignments if you prefer your child use more paper and pencil. Please do what is best for your family and child.

Here is the link I sent last Friday with information on how to log into Google Classroom.  

 4.3 Information on Google Classroom

Students are invited to a classroom meeting on Google Meet this Tuesday at 1:00.  You will receive an email with a link for the meeting.  Your child may bring a favorite stuffed animal to share. :)  Please know that this is OPTIONAL.
