Good afternoon Haigh families. I can’t believe Halloween is next weekend! The month of October is going fast. I hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed watching the football games! Go BLUE!
Last week the district canceled in person learning labs. While this was a bit disappointing, I am so thankful that we are still able to meet virtually. Reading group time is a chance for me to work with your child on reading skills and help them fill gaps they may have in their learning. Please be sure your child arrives on time to their “Virtual” lab and has their assignment completed. We are having a bit of a problem with that part. Your child should be reading their online reading book EACH night to work on fluency and comprehension. Almost every meeting I try to give them a small assignment to hold them accountable for their learning. You can help support this by setting the routine of reading their book each day and asking about any assignment they may have. Please note your child can read and listen to the book with the audio option.
Learning lab Schedule Did you know you can find this schedule on Schoology? Click on resources and look for the link that says reading group schedule.
Your child should be feeling a lot more comfortable with navigating Schoology. Whenever we have an assignment for the day it is located under the days button. Please be sure to check to make sure your child is submitting assignments. Did you know you can see what work they may have missing and work comments by clicking on grades on the left hand side? This can also be a routine to encourage your child to get in the habit of checking. Having your child take responsibility for their learning will help them develop confidence and keep them on track.
This week is Halloween and while we are not able to have a traditional class party I would love to celebrate! Please have your child dress up (this is optional) in their costumes for Friday’s Zoom sessions. We will take a break from our normal routine and engage in some Halloween fun!
Reminders for the week:
- School board meeting is tomorrow at 5:30.
- Topic A Quiz is Wednesday. PLEASE encourage your child to catch up on Zearn. We are in Module 2 lesson 4 and some students are still in module 1. Today looks like a great day to catch up!!
- Review telling time to the minute on an analog clock with your child. Many are struggling with this. On schoology I did put a link to an interactive clock they can practice with. There is also a link to a interactive game.
- Half day Friday
- Wear Halloween costumes on Friday!
- This weeks assignment sheet (Subject to change). Did you know you can also find this on Schoology? Click on resources and you will see a folder that says weekly lesson assignments.
Have a great Sunday!!
