October 26, 2020

 Good Afternoon,

  I hope you are all doing well.  I don't know about you but I was quite surprised to see the snow this morning, when I went out to cook my breakfast on the grill.  As I said last week, if your child is wearing boots to school, please make sure he/she has a pair of sneakers or shoes to change in to.  They are welcome to leave the shoes here at school,if you wish.  

A view from my deck this morning.

Today the students recorded their New Hampshire learning using Flip Grid.  I will go through them tonight and score them.  If you want to see/listen to their recordings, click here.  The goal of the passport entries, at the current time, is to get 1st graders writing sentences and for the 2nd graders to write paragraphs.  As we progress, we will change the criteria for each grade level.  The writing has been great and the kids seem to be enjoying this study of the states.  Below is a picture of a 2nd grade passport entry.  It is great to see what catches their interest as they study each state.  


Wednesday's off site day.  We will have a meeting at 8:45 on Wednesday.  We will be working on a literature project using the book The Day the Crayons Quit.  The students will also have to do several asynchronous activities,  Please see this schedule or check the last few emails that I have sent you.  PLEASE note the homework schedule that is on the linked schedule.  

NOTES:

*Several students did not complete their remote writing assignments while they were remote this past Thursday and Friday.  Your child will have that assignment in their plastic bag tonight.  Please have him/her complete it and bring it back tomorrow.

*Reading Groups Started today.  Your child will have a book to share and/or read, this evening. If you child doesn't have a book, it means that they still have one of mine at home.  Please find it and return it ASAP.

That is all for now.  I hope you have a great week.

Peace,

Tommy
