Week of February 1

 Good afternoon Parents,

I am so glad we had another splendid week. We finished our "edible rocks". I think the kids really enjoyed the activities. Thank you all again for sending in the supplies. Hopefully, by now, you have had the chance to read the email from Mr. Williams about Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, in the circumstance w are currently in, it would be too much moving and transferring of items going on to celebrate Valentine's safely.

Also, today begins our Virtual Book Fair. The kids should have already shared the flyer from Mrs. Medlock with you.

Last week was awesome! We finished the addition section of chapter 8 in math, summarizing in reading, and took our assessment on rocks and minerals. Our writing unit will be ongoing, focusing on text dependent analysis (TDA). This will incorporate reading and writing skills. This week, we will focus on point-of-view, subtraction with regrouping, natural disasters, and our text dependent analysis writing.

Grief Support for Students and Families

Camp Hands of Hope is a weekend long bereavement camp for youth and their loved ones who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past three years. This camp is hosted by the Hospice & Palliative Care Foundation. Due to COVID-19, the camp is in an ONLINE ONLY format. The upcoming camp will take place March 5 and 6, 2021, and will involve a mix of independent family activities and live sessions facilitated by clinical bereavement professionals. 

The camp is open to youth ages 5-18 and their caregivers who have experienced the loss of a loved one in the past three years (must have at least one adult attend with the camper). Materials will be mailed in advance, including grief journals, activity supplies, and t-shirts. There is a $20 administrative fee (per family) to help offset the administrative time of processing applications; HOWEVER if that fee is a financial hardship, families can apply for an application fee waiver after their applications have been accepted and confirmed. 

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd online at www.camphandsofhope.org. Registration will remain open until spaces are filled. To learn more, see the brochure/flyer.

 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 ...

 Well, here's to another long weekend!!! I hope their asynchronous day went smoothly. I was in the Google Classroom during my office hours and a few of them reached out to me. Remember, Monday, March 29th, is the new Spring picture day. Students can bring a change of clothes so they can feel comfortable after taking their picture. Also, remember we are out Friday, April 1st in observance of Good Friday! Y'all, I can't believe Spring Break is already here. We will be out from April 1st-April 9th. We will return on April 12th. MAP testing will happen the following week. Are you ready for the countdown to summer?!  Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see their bright faces on Monday!!

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...
