Welcome

Hopefully you will find this web page helpful.  At this time we are teaching through distant learning using the Chromebooks.  If you need a Chromebook or haven't picked up your child's workbooks, please call Toni to make arrangements.  You may reach me at [email protected] or at [email protected].  I have created a list of your emails so I can keep you updated.  Please let me know if you aren't getting emails.  .  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.  My daily posts will consist of instructions for the student and notes on how to navigate this system.  I will also be posting instructional videos daily.  The students will be able to follow along as I instruct the lessons.  Please remind you child that they can "pause" the videos to finish writing or to take a break and then resume learning by hitting the "pause" button again.  Please save all of your child's work for me to get at a later date.  When I have "submit" on an assignment, it means that I can tell whether a child has completed the work.  The due date is noted on the post.  These are difficult times for all of us.  Let's do the best we can and be patient.
 
Welcome 1st grade families!
 
How will the end of the school year be handled?
     New instruction will continue through Monday, May 18th.
 
Starting on Tuesday, May 19- I will post review and enrichment lessons daily through June 2. These lessons won't be graded, but can serve as continued learning for your child, if you so choose. Again- there's no obligation to log on starting on May 19th if all of your child's assignments are completed.
 
I will send each parent a message on May 19 to let you know of any outstanding assignments, or to confirm if all of your child's work is accounted for. 
 
Students who haven't completed assignments through May 18th will have this time through June 2 to finish and submit work. Chromebooks will be collected closer to the end of the school year. More details about how this collection will occur with be forthcoming from administration.  
 
Collection of Paper Packets and Textbooks
Parents will be able to come into school on May 27, 28, and 29 from 8 am to 3 pm. Dr. G. asks that you please enter through the kindergarten doors. Please remember that masks should be worn. 
 
Boxes will be in the kindergarten lobby to collect the following materials:
 
-A box will be for library books.  If you had your library book in your desk, I have already placed it in this box.
 
-A box will be for learning packets.
This includes both the packets that some students are doing now instead of doing online assignments, as well as the Days 1-8 packet that were to be completed in March. Please be sure that your child's name (and my name) appear on the front of the packets.
 
-A box for the Reading textbooks.
If your child has me as his/her teacher for Reading class, you should have 2 Reading textbooks to turn in. (Volumes 1.4 and 1.5)  You may have a "Sleuth" reading book to turn in, also.  Envelopes will be available so you can label the child's name so we can account for any outstanding books.
 
-No Chromebooks will be collected during these days. More details about this collection will be forthcoming from administration. 
 
Opportunities for Summer Learning
If you'd like your child to keep up with their learning through the summer, they may still access Happy Numbers practice (by logging onto Clever) through June 30th.
 
In fact, they can access different activities on Clever at any time this summer...including, Brainpop and Splash Math! There's no obligation to do this, but I wanted to let you know that it is available and accessible on most devices like smartphones and tablets. 
 
Additionally, Epic, the book app from Mr. Minteer, will continue to provide free access through June 30th.
 
All of these are optional opportunities that you may choose to use- or not. It's totally up to you if you'd like to use these.

I want to extend a very big thank you for all that have helped their child continue their learning.  This process wouldn't be possible without your support and help.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Packet - Day 7

Hi girls and boys.  I hope that you got to play outside.  It was a beautiful day.  You could journal what you did today.  I got out your journals for your family to pick up.  I also got out your workbooks.  Next week we are going to start using them.  So take care of them and put all your school materials in a special place.
 
1. Read "The Rhyme Game" and answer the questions
2. Use what you know to finish the sentences on the "compare & contrast" page
3. Little Owl wants you to search for closed syllable words  
       (go to LINKS  look for Fundations  then click on "open and closed syllables")
      This short video will help you with this page.
4. "Making Words"  You may use these letters more than once.  You may want to          use the "ar" to make words.  Use "sh" to make words.
5. Do the "Let's Make a Sentence!" like you have been doing.
6. Complete the two math pages like you have been doing.  These should be                getting easier for you.

Packet - Day 6

A glance at day 6.  Forgive me because of the poor quality of this video.  It was my first time making a post in this form.  Look at the LINKS.  There are a few fun videos that you will enjoy.  Don't forget to read each day.  It is going to be a warm day, so get outside and get some exercise.  Brain breaks can be found on The Learning Station or at Go Noodles.  You can even sign in at Pearson to review some of the math lessons.  Check in everyday.  Miss you.

Missing You All!

Missing you all. I wanted to let you all know that I will be doing short videos to help you complete your work. I can be reached by email on this teacher web page.

Packet - Day 5

  1. Read "Stars" and answer the questions.
  2. Do the "Lazy Lizard" and "I Love You!" pages like you did yesterday - reading the story 3 times before answering the questions.
  3. Complete the "Glued Sound" activity page by picking one of the glued sounds to put onto the first letter in order to make a good word. (Ex. h  +ang  =  hang)
  4. Glue sounds are letters that go together to help make words - almost like word family endings.
  5. Complete the "Four Years Ago" page by describing some things that you can do now that you could not do when you were four years old.
  6. Do the "Let's Make a Sentence!" page like before.
  7. Complete the owl picture by trying to draw the other half of the owl exactly like the one you see.  Remember how we folded the paper to make a heart.  We made it is that the two sides were exactly the same.  We want the owl to look alike on both sides.  This is called symmetry.  Don't worry if the owl picture is not perfect.  It is hard to do, but it is fun to try.
  8. Do the "Basic Addition" page as before.  Remember you are adding.  Your answer will be bigger than the number you started with.
  9. Complete the "Problem Solving Practice" page as you have done before.  Remember to draw a picture and answer all the questions.  Showing your work is very important.
