Happy Monday :)

Good Morning Oakman Families! I hope everyone had a relaxing and safe spring break!

Please make sure to read everything below:

We are in week 4 of remote learning, I hope it is going okay for everyone. I have set up several occasions for asking/answering questions, keeping in touch, and doing as much as I can to help everyone in several ways. Every week, twice a week, Tuesday and Friday, I host a google hangout video conference for our class. I also have a separate one-on-one document for students to sign up for any extra help, questions, or any parent help that is needed. Make sure you take advantage of these opportunities.

With our remote and online learning continuing for the rest of the school year, I wanted to inform you I have been tracking who does and does not complete their work. I will continue to be tracking, the information of who does their work and does not do their work does go to Mr. Abu-Rus and the district. I am and have been sending individual messages to those who are not completing every assignment, please make sure you do so. Moving forward, as I submit the information of who does and does not complete their work, you may receive phone calls or messages from the principal, myself, or anyone from the district if you are not completing your online tasks, it is vital to complete all assigned tasks.

Please continue to email or ClassDojo message me if you have any concerns or questions please feel free to contact me.

There will be a video conference session tomorrow from 12:00-1:00pm, make sure you click the link in your student email to join 🙂

There was a form sent to your student email to vote on which dance you would like Miss. Norton to do, if everyone completes their assignments this week then I will do the GoNoodle dance of the classes choice, this dance will be posted on Monday, April 20th, only if every student completes every assignment for this week.

Here are the assignments for today: (Make sure you complete them all, do not just do one or two of them)
