Hello Families,

Can I just say all of you have done a great job this week. Students and parents, I really appreciate all the hard work you have done. I can see what a priority your kids (and their education is to you). We (teachers) have needed a lot of support from you since this virus and I think everyone has been doing the best they can with all of this. Please celebrate somehow as a family because all of you deserve a pat on the back.

I really enjoyed the “google meets” session on Wednesday. I’d like to do another one, same day and time. However, we have been asked to put it on hold until further notice. Some older students (not elementary kids) were not displaying proper behavior at their google hangouts or google meets, so the district is looking into how they can remedy that situation so it does not occur again. I will keep you posted. So as of right now that is a tentative date. If we get to do it, I’d like for it to be a show and tell. I’d like students to share with the class a pet they have at home (no pet, then choose a stuffed animal, doll, or action figure), by showing it to us and then providing 3 adjectives (describing words), that describe their pet. They can choose one of these 2 ways to present the adjectives or if they have their own way, they can do that too.

Example 1. This is my ________. His name is _________. He is, ____________, _____________, and _____________.

3-adjectives soft, cuddly, fast

This is my cat. His name is Rex. He is soft, cuddly, and fast.

Example 2. This is my _______. His name is _______. His _________ is __________. He is ___________________. Also, ________ is as __________ as a ____________.

3-adjectives-black, small, fast

This is my dog. His name is Skip. His fur is black. He is small. Also, Skip is as fast as a cheetah.

I will try to get pictures on here tomorrow or Sunday that you have sent me so you can see some student work. I will be putting up the new schedule sometime this weekend.

I want to say “Happy Ramadan” to those of you who celebrate and even if you don’t 😉

Some of the staff have made a “Happy Ramadan” video. Please enjoy.

You can find it under Class Links

Stay Healthy and have a great weekend!
