Good afternoon Haigh families. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.
Click here to see the plan for the week. You may notice the layout looks a little different. I made some changes to just include student assignments for you to view. Keep in mind that assignments and page numbers can change due to us not getting to all of the content. You will also notice that there is no live lessons again on Tuesday and Thursday. This is to allow time for NWEA testing at Haigh. If you have not signed up, PLEASE do so, the sooner I can get the testing done, the better! On the plans for the week there is a link for a recorded lesson that is currently not live. The reason for this is because I do not want to record today in case we do not get through all of the ELA content tomorrow. Tomorrow starts our 1st unit in our new reading program and I am unsure of how much we will get through virtually. Please be sure students have their Animal Adaptations paper booklet with them tomorrow morning.
Reminders for the week:
- Please be sure your child is on time to each Zoom meeting
- Link to the NWEA test sign up. PLEASE choose a spot.
- Learning labs are currently canceled per district
- Please make sure your child is completing homework and assignments on Schoology. Students have a 5 paragraph essay due tomorrow. Please review their work and take a moment to look at the example essay under the assignment tab ( This is an example of what their writing should look like at the beginning of the year). They should be using the outline from Monday to assist them.
- Math homework should be uploaded each night in Schoology. Please see videos on a previous post on my blog for help with this process.
- Please be sure your child is reading at least 30 minutes per day
- A reminder that once the week is over past assignments will be moved to a black folder at the bottom of Schoology page with dates for the week.
- Students should be doing one Zearn lesson each day. As of today they should be up to lesson 7. These lessons go directly with our Eureka Math curriculum
I just want to acknowledge and thank all of the parents for helping their child take on learning from home. I know everyone is out of their comfort zone, but we all have to work hard to do our best with the situation we are faced with. Teaching virtually places an extra struggle on teachers not being able to address and notice immediate needs in the learning process. It also renders huge struggles on parents trying their best to stay informed and connected. I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate all of you and as a teacher and mother of a 3rd and 4th grader, I know that it is a huge challenge. We must keep on swimming!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and go Lions 🙂
