Sunday, May 10 - Week 5 Online Learning

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I'm sure you have heard that we will continue this online journey until the end of the school year.  Hopefully, we can join the classroom environment again in September.  It makes me extremely sad that I won't see my homeroom class all together in my classroom again... I have missed all my students and delivered some candies for some of my students on Friday.  I was planning on dropping off treats for everyone but the rain and cold caused me to end my deliveries early.  I hope to try again in the coming weeks to deliver treats to the rest of my students.  I am so proud that they are continuing their learning journey despite these challenging times.  Thank you for supporting them in their learning, it will help them so much when they go to high school. 


Below is the schedule for classes for this week.  

Reminder that Friday, May 15 is a prep day, so no class on that day.  ALSO, Monday, May 18 is Victoria Day so there will also be no classes on that day next week.  

Class takes place at 11am each day.  Students can text on Teams if they need help throughout the day. 

I have added THEME days so students will do a beginning activity at the beginning of each class.  This will take place from approximately 11-11:05am and class will start right afterwards.  I kept them mostly the same this week, let me know if you have suggestions for other Theme days.  

Remember that I am available for questions from 9am-5pm on Monday to Friday through SeeSaw or email for parents.  It is usually easiest for students to contact me through Teams.  I will most likely answer questions after or before these times but it may take longer for me to reply because I'm trying to find my own balance between work and home life.
