Hi Families,

We made it through week 1! Week 2 will look a bit different 🙂 Let’s just hope everything goes smoothly in regards to technology-sorry about the lagging and freezing on today’s Zoom meeting 🙁

I have emailed you all the Zoom link to access for all of next week and the schedule for week 2. We will begin to ease into long mornings of instruction, with a few breaks here and there. If possible, please make sure your child has a whiteboard, dry erase marker, pencil, and a notebook to use for next week. We will be starting with Community Circles (building friendships) and digging into Reviews and Routines in our new Benchmark Curriculum. We will also begin Module 1, Lesson 2 in Eureka Math. These live lessons will be recorded if your child isn’t able to make it on, please give me a heads up though.

The following week everything should be getting posted in Schoology (no longer through an email) with the lessons and links for the week. Thanks for being patient and flexible, it’s all we can do right now with this big change and challenge we’ve been given. I appreciate your support! Please let me know if you are not receiving my emails 🙂

Thanks!

Mrs. Izbicki

Hi families!

It was so nice to meet a lot of you yesterday 🙂 I posted above an informational slideshow here about how online learning will look. I will send a Zoom link to your emails by 4 pm today for our very first Zoom meeting tomorrow, that will be held at 10 am. Please have your child work on their “All About Me” paper that was in the folder I gave out yesterday. They will each have the chance to share out a little about themselves and learn about their classmates as well 🙂

Hello Families!

I am excited to be working with you and your child this year! I hope you all received an email from me on Friday with some general information about this school year and specifically the first 2 weeks of school. Although the first day/week of school will look so different than we are all used to, we will make the best of it!

Just a reminder that this Monday and Tuesday will be a drive-thru Meet & Greet! At this time I will give your child a bag of needed materials for the first month of school (packet, beginning of year activities, Math books, Reading Books) Times are from 10:00-11:30 both days, we will be outside on Robindale/Coburn! You can pull up and park on the side street.

I have also printed a “First Day of 2nd grade” sign that your child can take a picture with (and with me if you wanted:) If you’re unable to make those times please contact me and we will arrange alternate plans. I’m looking forward to “seeing” you and your child in person even if only for a moment 🙂

I am hopeful that we can have our first class Zoom meeting on Wednesday, more information to come on that soon. All information will be posted here to the blog for now, until Schoology is up and running. Thank you and take care of yourselves 🙏🏻

See you this week,

Mrs. Izbicki

School ReOpen Committee Parent Survey #1

https://forms.gle/DNx3eN8hcRpXsfSs5

We’ve made it to the end of the year and how bittersweet it is. I wish so badly we were in the classroom celebrating and doing all the fun things we do this week. My heart hurts that this school year went the way it did and that my time got cut short with my students. We had almost 7 fun months together and created memories that I will never forget. I am so proud of how hard everyone worked from home and all the learning that took place. I can’t thank you enough parents, for your support and partnership not only through this pandemic but the entire year. I am so thankful for all of you and my class. I made a video using the pictures I had from this year. I feel sad that we missed out on more field trips, field day, end of year picnic, assemblies. etc. I usually have so many more pictures but we lost out on 3 months, some of the best, exciting months of school 🙁 But I hope you enjoy the video, be sure to show your child!

There will be an optional, but highly encouraged, digital memory book posted to Seesaw tomorrow. Please make sure your child listens to the audio part for me, as I left them a little goodbye message. I am looking forward to seeing their memory books, and I hope they enjoy looking at their friends’ books and commenting on them as well.

If you have a chromebook, you can keep that for over the summer. Haigh will touch base with you in the Fall about them.

We are holding a goodbye wave parade this Thursday, June 11th, from 10-11:30 am. I will be standing on Silvery Lane, where I usually am for supply pick up, holding a sign for my students to see! I hope if you’re able to driveby you can, for I would LOVE to see my students’ smiling faces before we begin summer break, a well deserved break for all. Also, if you ordered a yearbook, I will pass it to you at this time as well.

I hope you all have a happy, healthy, relaxing, and safe summer break! I pray that we can all be together again at Haigh in the fall. Please know that I am here anytime, for questions or even just to say hello! THANK YOU!!!!!

Hi Families!

I can’t believe we are entering into our 11th week of distance learning and that it will be June tomorrow. What a crazy year we’ve had. I am so proud of the hard work everyone has put into learning at home. This is the last week of academic assignments, and there is only Math and Reading for the week. Your child can take pictures of all pages and upload to Seesaw. I won’t be making assignment spots on Google Classroom this week.

Next week, I will be posting a Digital Memory Book on Monday. The kids can complete it all on one day, or do a little day by day. It will be a fun last activity and they’ll be able to see the class journal with everyone’s memory books posted.

I hope everyone is enjoying these days with family and staying healthy. One more week after this one! Here is the schedule for week 11.

Happy Memorial Day and Eid Mubarak to those who celebrate! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and was able to enjoy the beautiful weather we had.

We are heading into week 10 of distance learning (I can’t believe it) and another 4-day week. There are no Spelling or Writing assignments this week. The only writing they will do is answering some short response questions in their Reading Books. We are focusing on Math, Reading, and Social Studies this week. You can submit assignments on Seesaw or Google Classroom. Next week will only be Math and Reading as we start to cut down on the workload. The last week of school will simply be a fun, digital memory book that I want the kids to complete and view their classmates as well.

For Social Studies, just try to do what you can. It’s one of the last standards we need to cover for 2nd grade so I want them to at least read and respond. Any questions, please don’t hesitate.

Here is the schedule:

Hi Parents,

We are ready to begin Week 9. I hope everyone is healthy and well. Hopefully, we start to see consistently nice weather and brighter days ahead 🙂 This week is a 4-day week, as well as next week, due to Memorial Day.

This week will be the last week for Spelling Words. We are focusing on prefixes this week and there are activities on Seesaw for each day, no Spelling Test this week. For Reading, we are moving on to Unit 4- Craft and Structure in Literature. There will be a short video posted each day for your child to watch as they complete their lesson. For Writing, I kept it simple this week with a short Memorial Day writing and discussing what our freedoms mean to us. The assignment is posted on Google Classroom (as well as on this schedule) with a video to watch for background info about Memorial Day and a writing sheet they can type directly on.

For Social Studies, the assignment for the week is posted under Monday. This ties in with Memorial Day and learning about The Pledge of Allegiance. You can print the papers or access this assignment on Google Classroom to type directly on. Submit there or on Seesaw if you print them.

For Math, I skipped a few lessons to get to the end of Module 6. Students will be learning about even and odd numbers this week. I will begin posted 3-4 lessons a week because I want to cover some content in Module 7 before the end of the year. I will go lighter on writing and eliminate spelling in the weeks ahead to make up for more work in Math. This week there are 4 lessons, 17-20. Please send a picture to Seesaw or upload in Google Classroom.

I will check work for Week 9 by Monday night, so there is extra time to complete the work this week. I hope everyone has a nice, relaxing long weekend ahead. I will post Week 10 schedule Monday night.
