We hope that everyone is staying safe, healthy and adjusting to our new normal. The switch to on-line teaching has had its challenges but it also has given us an opportunity to learn new ways of reaching our students while learning new computer programs.
We have now been on-line for 3 weeks and have been assigning daily assignments in all subjects. We have had lots of kids checking the Google classroom on a daily basis and completing all assigned work. But we have noticed that many students are not checking the Stream on a daily basis or turning in work on a regular basis. We understand that all families are faced with their own challenges around computer sharing, parents working from home and support with assignments. The teachers are available during the day for emails and we have bi-weekly open chat times that the kids can log on and access us for help. Please ask your child on a daily basis what assignments they are working on or what was assigned this week and if possible, assist them with the understanding of assignments.
Reminders:
-All assignments are posted on a daily basis by 8:30am and most do not have due dates as we understand that all students are working on assignments at different times.
-We have a weekly Google Meet on Friday. Times will be posted on the Stream at the beginning of the week but we are trying to alternate times from morning to afternoon to accommodate different times that kids may have access to a computer.
-Assignments should be turned in through Google Classroom.
-Jump math pages are to be completed in their Jump books and then the following day the answer key is posted. The students are to check their own work and then join us for our bi-weekly google chat for help if they are having trouble with concepts.
-Students are asked to complete all math assignments before completing the Review Check-in for those assignments.
- Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Baker will be available for math or other subject help, on Tuesday from 11:00 am -11:30 am and Thursday from 2:00 pm -2:30 pm.
-This week we are starting a daily read aloud from 1:00-1:30 of our read aloud book Among the Hidden, that we had previously started in class before the school closure.
-Teachers are available for e-mail during school hours from 9-3:30.
We know this has been a real change for everyone and we truly appreciate your patience while we navigate this new way of teaching and learning.
