Three weeks left!  This school year has flown by.  I cannot believe we have been distance learning for six weeks already.  It has been a tough road, but you guys are doing great.  I miss our classroom and I miss you, but we can still finish strong!  Keep working hard! A

This is still where you will find:

• documents for assignments 
• video lessons and powerpoints-these will be the same as the Zoom lessons
• Mrs. Hafner reading Charlotte's Web

The new website were you will complete the asignments is edulastic.com.  Each subject has its own class code:

• ELA-KN6JT
• Math-3D9L6
• Social Studies-9RI5
• Science-XJ602

Student login is the same as Google Classroom.   

*We will still be using iReady, StemScopes, Studies Weekly, and Think Central for assignments, so pay attention to where the assignments shoulf be completed. 

Also, I am starting an MTSS/Intervention group.  We will be meeting Wednesdays on Zoom for a 30 minute reading lesson, choose between 9am or 5pm.  I have contacted those students who are expected to participate, but all are welcome for a little extra reading help, please let me know if you are interested and which lesson you will be joining.  The pages for those lessons will also be available on Google Classroom. 

Please read the Distance Learning Guide-there is important information in there that you should be aware of.

Review the schedule, I have added live lessons for Science on Tuesdays and Social Studies on Wednesdays. 

Thank you for the feedback I have recieved, this is great as it helps me make things better for everyone.  I have added to the assignments suggested daily plans.  This is a suggestion, please continue to do what works for you.

Students should have picked up a packet at school that includes their workbooks so there is less printing and copying needed.  I will specify in the assignments whether the pages they need are in the workbooks or not.  Copies will also be available in Google Classroom.

Ms. Rodriguez-my para-has offered to help students who may need extra help, or just someone to read with.  She is flexible in her schedule and is eager to be a part of your learning.  Please let me know if you would like her help and I will give her your name and contact information.

I also am asking again that you sign up for a weekly conference with me, whether it be through Zoom or I believe I can call through one of the apps.  I just need to know days and times that are best for you.  I would like to meet with each student/parent for at least 30 min each week individually (we can do more if needed).  I prefer to keep the times between 8am and 3pm, but I am flexible as I know many of you are still working. Please contact me with this information as soon as possible.
