I will be making one blog post for days E-I. I will update it daily with new photos. I am not sure if it emails you when I edit a post.. if so, I apologize. I want to make one post weekly for all of the photos submitted to me. If for some reason your photo is missing and you sent it to me, just let me know!

Thank you to everyone who thought of me during teacher appreciation week last week! I am planning on stopping by towards the end of May or start of June with the rest of their monthly books from me and their end of the year gifts. I will let you know the date closer to in case your child wants to wave to me through the window or see me from 6 feet away.

I still have no clue when everyone can get the items from their desks. I am hoping this can be done at the start of June, but nothing has come from the State or District.

Here is our weekly plan! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1q1XdVC9uYFG7WjOjENhr51XwdZzrc3KpUioZN0wjsDE/edit

Housekeeping items..

This is the link to the ABC Countdown starting tomorrow. I tried to make it easy enough where the kids can just wear something specific, or use items they may already have at home. Tomorrow is just animal print, or dress like your favorite animal, day! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yIjJxjMRbDFXJ1OZGwIy7f-yra088hN16UMVziicboo/edit?usp=sharing

Math workbooks are able to be picked up on Thursday, May 7th between 11am and 1pm. They do need their module 8 book since we are hoping to get to it before school is over. If you chose not to come get a workbook, you will be responsible for printing out pages on your own to complete them.

“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 on 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”

This Week 5/4/20-5/8/20

As of Tuesday we only have 26 days left of school. I will be attaching an ABC countdown on Tuesday, which is normally something we do mostly during the school day. There will be days dedicated to wearing something and sending in a photo (if you want to), or eating something, etc.

I am hoping I can give you all a date to pick up the rest of their belongings soon, but as of right now, no date has been set.

I am also hoping to stop by towards the end of the month with a few books of the month and a goodbye present from me (all of the photos dated from when they took place, and a special box for them to go into).

I am including our weekly schedule here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DXq4A4IhnUh4LA2AlcMLEFCefLNH-eZwfo8ATy6Yrog/edit?usp=sharing
