Hi 1A families,
Thank you so much to everyone who has joined the class calls and made time to do 1-on-1 sessions with me on Zoom. It brightens my day to see all of the kids! Clearly, schools are doing our best to adjust to this new type of teaching, but it's still an adjustment. I want to be sure that I am providing opportunities for learning, but not overwhelming you. I know that in my house, some days are productive for the kids, others...not so much. It's tough, but just know that I'm available for whatever you need. Please reach out.
Please sign up for a 1-on-1 Zoom meeting with me for next week! They are a great way to connect with the kids. 17 students took advantage of it last week! I LOVED the chance to talk to the kids individually. 1-on-1 Meeting with Mrs. Barnett
I'm not going to do a big recap of what we did this week because I think that most of you heard it in your houses. We are SO LOUD! 😂 I am, however, going to give you the rough plan for next week. Every day we will warm up with skills review, and end with a story and comprehension questions.

Please, please just let me know if any of this is confusing (or overwhelming) - I am very flexible and want to do what works best for everyone.
Thanks for everything you are doing at home; I don't think I can truly express to all of you how much your support means. Seriously tearing up just thinking about it. The kids are so lucky to have such amazing families!
Be well!
Katie Barnett
