Well, we made it through another week!! We have a few more to go and Spring Break will be here before we realize it. We began the week with finishing up our book clubs and are finishing the week with our "College Day". You will see pics from both below. We were out Thursday and I'm glad the district thought of our safety first. Another good thing was we do not have to make up a day for being out, thanks to the virtual world. This week, we will have 2 asynchronous days, in which the students will stay home but log on to our Google Classroom and go through the Pathway to complete assignments. The 2 days are this Thursday and Friday, March 25th and March 26th. No new learning will occur on those days, but students will still be responsible for completing and turning in assignments to be graded. Students will log on at 9 and will be working virtually from home on both days on material that we have already covered. My office hours both days will be from 9-11 AM in case there ...
Thank you for all of my awesome teacher appreciation gifts!! I even was treated to San Jose this week. I received a lot of my favorite snacks (popcorn, Werther's, and mini Chips Ahoy) as well as some gift cards to my favorite restaurants and stores. Thank you so much for everything!! Thank you for being so supportive as well. We are all one community and I wouldn't be able to do it without your support!! I hope what the kids take with them is always give their best, believe they can accomplish anything they desire!! Thanks for sharing your babies with me! Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see them today (though every week is Teacher Appreciation Week) because I had an emergency come up, but I will be back on Monday. With testing coming up next week (the week of the 17th), we are going to be spending the next week just focusing on math and reading. So, no new notes in science and social studies until after the 19th. We are focusing on geometry, measurement, an...
Well, I hope everyone has had the opportunity to relax and recharge this past week. We will come back in at 100 and then, Thursday and Friday will be asynchronous. My office hours will be from 9-11 on both days, in case there are questions. I will have the class on and they can pop in and ask questions. Some students took advantage of this last time. All asynchronous work is due by midnight Sunday. The following week we will begin MAP testing and then start reviewing and wrapping up for state testing. WE ARE READY for this and more. I believe they can and will as long as they take their time and read carefully. Sitting in class with them, I see and know what they can do. There are mistakes made and usually it's because they are not taking their time. This is shown when I go back and have them to sit with me, re-read the question, and redo their answer. And BAMMMMMM, they get it right!! I remind them there are no redos on MAP or state testing. We will continue to work on slow...
