Weekly Newsletter Week of April 13

Hello Families!  We've all made it through another week!  We hope everybody was able to find some sort of rest and relaxation over this long weekend.  We also want to thank you all for doing your best in guiding your children through these times.  We know it's been challenging to say the least.

Choice Boards
This coming week we will continue with the same choice boards.  We ask that you guide your child to choose different activities they may not have gotten to, create their own extensions for the posted activities or chose a different extension (the language choice board activities had different choices/directions with which to take the activities), and the math choice board has seven activities to choose from.  They may also go back and make work they already turned in even better!  Also, if you find other engaging activities, go for it! 

The week after next we will introduce new choice boards, with a new theme, for math and language arts that will span two weeks!

Letter Exchange
We will be sending everyone a message with their pen pal's name and mailing address today, Sunday. We are so excited for this project!  Please remind your child that letters have a specific format that needs to be followed.

Seesaw
We have been enjoying seeing your children and their work on Seesaw!  We have just a few reminders regarding Seesaw.  
  • Please help your child find the correct assignment to turn the work under. 
  • When responding to a journaling prompt please remind them to begin with a topic sentence, add supporting details, and end with a conclusion (beginning, middle, and end).
  • Before they turn in/upload and assignment they should ask themselves if they did their best work.  If they didn't, then they should not turn it in until they feel they gave their best effort. 
  • Reading logs are to be turned in at the end of the week, not daily. 

Zoom
We will use the same link and password for or weekly community meeting.  We hope to see everybody again, and those that were unable to join us last week.  The link and password will be sent out via Transparent message that goes to your email Monday morning.
