Good Morning,
We have a few things coming up. Yesterday you should have received an email from the office here at school with details in regards to pictures which will happen next week on Monday and Tuesday. I am copying the email below to make sure that you received it and have all the information you need. Picture Day will be held on Monday, October 19th and Tuesday, October 20th. Hybrid students will have their photograph taken during their regular school day. Parents of remote students should have received an email last week with a link to a signup genius to book a slot to have their child's picture taken. This year, paper packets are not going home. All ordering can be done online. Please click on this link to order your photo package. Our order code is 0033374. The library books that went home a couple of weeks ago, can come back now. The books have to quarantine for a while once they return here to school. So please send the library books back to school with your child, in the bag the library provided as well as the paper showing their choices in types of books they want for the next time. Once the kids bring back all their books, we will send home another bag of books for them to enjoy for a few weeks. This Friday our zoom session will be a bit different. We will start our zoom with sharing our High's and lows from the week. We usually do this daily so they should be familiar with the question. "What was your low (bad part) for the week and what was your high (best part)?" and yes, it is ok for them to say that their at home day was the high (😊) This question gives us a chance to talk about things that are going well and things that are not, as well as giving the kids a chance to share experiences they may be having. When we are finished, we will be doing some fruit and vegetable printing. You will need an assortment of fruits and vegetables and some paint or stamp pads. We will be talking about the differences and similarities of fruits and vegetables, shapes, and using the fruits and vegetables to create works of art. I hope you will be able to join us. See you soon, Ms. SAM What a great zoom this was today. Thank you all for your support in helping to teach the kids this new step in our zooms. This will be an expectation each time we zoom so they will get better and better at it as we practice. Thank you for taking the time to sit with us and help us learn and grow. Have a wonderful weekend. I will try and send some pictures of the butterflies. They have all hatched and are so beautiful.
Good Morning,
I am so excited to see everyone this morning! Don't forget you will need an adult this morning to help me teach the unmuting procedure for our zoom meetings. I am also sharing the recipe for the donuts that we made this week. Maybe you'd like to make more this weekend, now that you are all experts. I don't think I need to share the teeny tiny turkey taco recipe, because I just made regular ground turkey with taco seasoning and gave the kids small samples of all typical taco ingredients and then we put them on Tostito Scoops. Maybe on your next Taco Tuesday you'll want to make teeny tiny tacos too! The rest of your Friday can be spent catching up on your seesaw work, going on real time letter scavenger hunts, playing outside, and enjoy your family. Over the weekend try to make a list of the things you do this weekend to help you on Monday with your weekend news! See you soon. Good Afternoon,
This Friday our group zoom session will be to work on muting and unmuting ourselves on our computers. I would like each of you to bring 3 things that you can share with us that makes you special. The beginning of the session will be our noisy check in with everyone, after that I will mute everyone. I will need an adult member to be sitting with your child in order to assist them with learning this process. Once the kids get good at it the adult assistance will be less and less. Once I mute all the kids it will be their job to stay muted unless I have called on them. We will talk about the computer like it is a walkie talkie. When I call on each student they will press and hold the space bar, talk about their three things and then when they are done talking take their finger off the space bar. I wanted to give you a heads up so that you can plan to have someone sitting with your child during this session. It will save us all in the long run. I am also going to cut my open office ours down to Wednesday and Thursday after school. I am always available by email or phone if you have any questions at other times. Thank you for your help with this, See you Friday at 9am. |
