Updates:
Zoom meetings this week:
Students should bring about 15 index cards and a dark marker to write with. Alternatively, they can cut rectangles out of paper (approx. 3" x 5"). If they have a dry erase board/marker this can work as well.
Poetry Recitation:
Last week your child selected a poem to memorize and recite for the class. Your child should make a video reciting the poem from memory, and post it in the Student Work Gallery on SKIES by Friday April 24th.
Epic:
You will be receiving an email from me inviting you to create your child's Epic account. Your child won't need this to for his/her classwork, but it is a good resource for free, online reading they can use for self-selected independent reading.
Distance Learning Outline:
1. Students should check their email each day for any communications from me.They will always receive an email on Monday with their weekly Zoom time and instructions.
2. Students should log in to skieslearn.com each morning. Think of this as a "homeroom" that students should check in to and find the day's work. I will also be on Skies (see #4 below). After you've logged into Skies, navigate:
My Class
Week of _____ (Choose current week. You will see 4 tabs:)
Click on each tab to see that day's work. (Students will have a math, ELA, Enrichment, and Social Studies or Science assignment each day.)
