School Assignments

This is the first thing we need to do during this crazy time, BREATHE.  I know having school cancelled affects you in so many ways.  It is going to take some planning and changes to your schedules to make all of this happen.  I am aware and understand this may be difficult for some of you.

From a learning point of view, we would like to continue helping students continue learning as much as possible while they are home.  A large manila envelope is coming home today.  It contains some packets and their Math Student Activity Book.  They are also bringing home 2-3 classroom books.  I typically do not like to send home books from our class library, but this isn’t a typical situation.  Please keep them in a safe place and return them when we come back to school.

You do NOT need to do anything with the manila packet this weekend.  Please save it until next Monday when the 3rd grade team can plan and let you know what is expected each week.  We will help prioritize these assignments.  We will be creating videos for math instruction.  Also, Study Island and Moby Max will be part of assignments.

I will be checking my email regularly and can answer questions throughout the day as quickly as I can.

Remember to breathe and we will work together to get through this crazy time.  I hope you and your family stay healthy – wash those hands!!!

I also hope that you can enjoy this extra time with your child.  Put down the technology and bake together, play board games, play cards games (like the ones sent home from Christmas), draw, color, and read together.  Do those things that we typically “don’t have time” to do.
