Room 7 Families,

I just wanted to give you an update with the online learning. 

The remainder of this week:

Thursday- ELA (everyone) 1:00-1:30

Friday- Math (both 3rd and 4th grades) 30 minutes of i-Ready math.  I do not care when you do this, but it NEEDS to be done at some point on Friday.  I will log onto i-ready at 8:00 am on Saturday morning to check who did the assignment. 

Going Forward: 

We will be doing math and ELA everyday.  The students will also need to do a special everyday.  This will be a total of 3 classes per day.

Sample Schedule:

Assignments: 

Work will be assigned during the “Live Meet” time, it is to be done by the next morning at 8:00am.  Students are to do 30 minutes of i-ready for both math and ELA weekly (see schedule) I suggest keeping it on the time they would have “class”, but you are able to do this at any time throughout the day.  I will log onto i-ready at 8:00am the next day to see who did their work. The students must work, not just log on...I can see how much they do :)

Attendance:

Students must either log on live and do the work, or watch the recording of the lesson and then do the work for the student to be counted at “present”.  If the students do not join the live meet, watch the recording and then hand in the work for that day, I have to mark them absent. The district is asking teachers to send their attendance in and then they will call, weekly, if there is a pattern of absences.  I will take “attendance” at 8:00am each morning for the prior day since that is when the work is due.

Office Hours:

9:30-10:00

2:00-2:30

If you have any questions, I will be available to meet with you on Google Meet during these times.

A HUGE thank you to all parents!!!  I know how much time and effort you are putting into helping your child, I appreciate it (and I know your kids do too!)
