End of Week 1

Dear students and families,

Thank you for all of your hard work during our first week of online learning. I know that this week has been crazy and difficult, and we are proud of your focus and perseverance. I want to take a moment and clarify our expectations for online work.

Our expectation is that you complete all assignments from all 4 classes each week. After the statement made by MDE, these assignments will not recorded as a score (meaning you earn a score showing how many you got right and wrong). However, we will be continuing to send you your scores on Google Classroom so that you can see how you are progressing, and so that we have these grades ready if the state expectation changes. All assignments will still be recorded for completion (if you did the work or not).

All Week 1 Online assignments are due today at the end of the day! This includes the “Nadia the Willful” theme CER, “Nadia the Willful” Figurative Language Activity, and IXL 6th Grade B1- Match the Quote to the Theme (get a 90% or higher- if this is difficult, move down a grade level or 2 and try 5th grade B1 or 4th grade B1). I will post all assignments for Week 2 TOMORROW MORNING (Monday, March 23).

We do not want you guys to fall behind when we return to school! Take opportunities every day to make sure you are taking ownership of your own learning and challenging yourself to grow. There are so many things you can do after your assignments to make sure you are still pushing your brain to grow! Read books, teach yourself to draw, try to invent a new game, challenge yourself to write a story! (If you do any of these…I’d love to hear about it!)

You guys are the best part of our jobs. We are proud of the work you have put in all year, and this week especially. During the crazy events in our world this week, it warmed my heart to see you guys continuing to work hard and put forward your best work. Special shoutout to those students that completed the extra credit! 🙂

Stay safe and take care! As always, email us with any questions or concerns!
