While I wish we were back at school, I'm so happy to see the kids on Zoom. I hope that they look forward to it as much as I do each morning. :) It really brightens my day!
- The kids should have paper and something to write with while we work.
- Here's a link to the poem that we will work on this week: Spring Poem
Reminder: The first type of work that the kids should complete is the Beyond The Classroom assignments. Thank you if you have already sent this work to me! Every student in the district is required to do these assignments. When we created the activities at the beginning of the year, we tried to make them as manageable as possible. Do 2 choices in each for ELA, 2 for Math, 1 for PE, and 1 for Art. If you have any questions about them, please let me know. Happy to help! Here's the link to the assignments: Beyond the Classroom
At this point, no other work is required.
I truly hope that you are all doing okay. We're having our ups and downs at my house, and I'm guessing that it's the same way for everyone. Some moments, I feel motivated to keep the whole house on track, and at other times, not so much. I know I keep saying this, but do what feels right for you and your kids. No one really knows what is the right thing to do.
I'd like to make myself available for 10 minute 1-on-1 meetings with the kids this week. Again, this is totally optional. :) I've set up a schedule on the Sign Up Genius site. If your kiddo would like to read to me, do a little math, or just chit chat about what they are working on for 10 minutes, please sign up for a slot. I'll be on Zoom and they can just join the meeting when it's their turn. Please only take 1 slot this week, so there are enough slots for everyone.
As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks so much!
Katie Barnett
