Good Afternoon,

 I hope you all are doing well and found today's navigation, of remote learning, a bit easier.  We had 10 students on for our Morning Meeting today.  I knew 2 students were not going to make it.  It seems like the Neck of the Woods Program is still trying to work out the kinks on their end.  I hope they can figure it out sooner rather than later.

Today we read the story Try A Little Kindness.  I love this simple book that demonstrates so many ways to share acts of kindness.  In a world where looking for the positives in life, is a must, this book demonstrated how simple acts of kindness can mean so much for others.  When the students come to school this week, he/she will receive a mini composition book (see picture).  The idea is they will keep it with them and when they do an act of kindness, they can either draw a picture or write about it.  They should date each entry.  Below is a reading of the book, if you would like to hear it too.

 During our writing time, the students each came up with an academic goal that they wanted to work on this year.  This was after a discussion of why e come to school.  If your child missed this meeting today, please watch this recording, discuss it with your child, and then email me their goal.  They will need their goal identified to do a project later in the week.


To Do List:
*Make sure your child brings in their completed poster, self portrait, and their writing prompt, when they return to school this week.

*Your child should have their Zearn binder, charged chrome book, and their blue writing folder too.

*Please make sure your child is getting to 4 Zearn math lessons a week.  I will start giving progress updates in two weeks.

*PLEASE, PLEASE if your child is in Person on Thursdays, make sure to stop by school and pick up two pieces of card-stock.  The bins are located outside my side classroom door, in the clear tub.  The Tuesday students will be given their sheet tomorrow at school.  We will be using this paper on Wednesday.

That is all for now.

Peace,
Mr. Young
