Howard Special Area Weekly Announcement

Good Morning Howard Dragons!

While families are learning to use BBB with their classroom teachers, we plan to hold off on virtual meetings to give everyone time to get comfortable with it.

Please know that we understand how hard this has been to all families.  We have families ourselves and are juggling many of the same things that you are.  

Our lessons should be a FUN way to engage in school and are not intended to be a further point of stress, but a way to balance yourselves holistically.

At this point, the district is requiring us to give “grades” based on participation.  So we are required to provide lessons.   We are focusing on making those FUN and beneficial, not stressful!  You will all benefit from taking a break from your core subjects each day to participate in our fun!  Then, just show us the fun you had!

Connect in our blog., the Lessons are in our Google Classrooms.

Tomorrow – Math Book Distribution

Hello Howard Families,

We will be distributing the Eureka math workbooks to our students, as we feel it will be very beneficial for them to continue the learning in the area of math. We will have a drive-up format in front of the school (N. York St.) for the distribution of the math workbooks. It will take place, tomorrow, Thursday, May 7th, from 11 am-1 pm for grades K-2 and from 1-3 pm for grades 3-5 (please select one of the time frames if you have children in both groups). We ask that you remain in your car during the distribution for your safety and the safety of others. In accordance with the governor’s orders, no students or parents are allowed in the school building. We appreciate your ongoing patience, flexibility, and support!

Take care and stay safe,

Mrs. Sabbagh

P.E. Assignment for the Week of May 4th-May 10th

Hello Everyone,

I have added a new assignment in my K-2nd and 3rd-5th Google Classroom for this week. It is a new fitness log. The log should be completed at least three times this week. However, you can complete it more times, if you would like to. The log should only be completed one time a day after 10-15 minutes of exercise for K-2nd and after 20 minutes of exercise for 3rd-5th.

The new log also contains a new modified or regular push-up practice assessment that you will need to write down an amount for each me you submit the fitness log. I have attached a rubric and a push-up video to the assignment. Please remember that this is just a practice assessment to see where your at with your modified or regular push-ups.

P.E. Assignment for April-20th-24th

Hello,

I have added two new Google Classroom pages that I will be updating throughout the end of the remote school year. There is one for Kindergarten-2nd grade and another for 3rd-5th grade. I have also added a page for each one of them on the right side of this blog, which contains the class code.

There is a fitness log assignment to fill out and submit for this week. To locate the assignment, please go to the Google Classroom website (link below). Once you get to Google Classroom, click the plus sign + on the top right of the page, add in the class code for your grade level, and join the class. Once you join the class, you won’t need to add in the class code the next time you go to my Google Classroom. Inside the class, you can either view the fitness log in the stream or click on the classwork tab at the top of the page. I will plan to add my new assignments in classwork, so you will just click on that tab to find them.

Class Codes are Located Below:

I hope to see that you joined my new classroom!

Thank you, Mr. Haliburda
