Lowrey Locker Belonging Pick Up on Monday June 1st- see info below:

Lowrey Staff Members spent yesterday in the building cleaning out their FIRST HOUR student lockers. Any lockers that had student belongings were emptied into a large plastic bag and labeled with the student name and the name of their FIRST HOUR teacher(s).

On MONDAY June 1, 2020- we are asking students to come and pick up the belongings from their lockers. Staff members will be there to help students/family members to pick up their items.

6th graders are asked to arrive at Lowrey anytime between 10am and 12pm on MONDAY 6-1-20. 6th graders should go to the Bingham block at the back of the school.  Bags will be brought out and teachers will station themselves along the block as to not congest one area, and maintain social distancing.

We are also asking if you have any Lowrey textbooks, library books or classroom library books at home, to PLEASE bring them to return as well on Monday.

When you arrive at the school- please find your FIRST HOUR TEACHER’s station on the sidewalk- and use the number given to them by the first hour teacher.

MY FIRST HOUR CLASS- please see the list below for your Pick Up Number. Knowing your first hour teacher’s name and your Pick Up Number will help the distribution flow more smoothly.

We had a Big Blue Button Meeting today- and many students did not attend the meeting. It is important that you stay motivated until the end of the school year. Students can earn 20 points for attending each meeting and participating in the discussions we have. Please make the effort to be there every Monday and Wednesday at the designated time for your class.

The picture above shows the new assignments on iLearn for this week. We have a short week, so I’m keeping things reasonable and simple.

One of the assignments are 6 new Author’s Purpose IXL skills- I put a reminder page on iLearn to help you keep all of the assignments in one place. You have two weeks to finish these 6 skills- they are due 5/31/20.

You also have a Maria % CER Activity. We discussed this during the BBB session today. Make sure to read the directions. Only input NUMBERS into the boxes for the characters in the assignment- nothing else. If you have any questions email me, or reach out to a friend that was in the BBB session to possibly explain.

I will be discussing the Maria CER at Wednesday’s BBB Meeting. I would prefer that you wait until we discuss, but the assignment is open if you are confident and want to get started. Maybe start- but wait to submit your CER paragraph until after the meeting.

PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I AM HERE TO SUPPORT YOU AND HELP YOU BE SUCCESSFUL.
