Good Morning,
I hope everyone is doing well and feeling healthy. This weather certainly helps pump some energy into all of us and the feel of spring is quite refreshing. I wanted to take some time to clean up a few things. We are in the final stretch of the school year and I want to be as efficient and productive with in person and remote learning.
Homework Bags and Books:
This group is having a rather difficult time remembering to bring back their book each day. I actually didn't send any home yesterday because so many had forgotten. As i have mentioned, I let kids take a book each day, then next day they bring it back and then can get a new one. This way I don't have to write each book down and it saves time so I can focus more on instruction. If kids forget (yesterday 8 did) the system start to break down and I loose books. So, we will start again on Monday but could I ask that you have your child check their room/house for any of my books and bring them back on Monday.
Wednesday Meetings:
I am going to ask that kids not lay in their beds during meeting. Sibling are welcome to join meetings as long as they are sitting with their brother or sister. Let's be honest, Zoom was not invented with the idea of teaching 6 and 7 year olds. So, we have to set them up for as much success as we can to allow the experience to be the best that it can be. I thank you in advance for this help and support.
This week we got back into our travels around the United States. This week we visited the tropical paradise of Hawaii. The talk of surfing, warm water, and coconuts certainly got me in the mood for traveling.
Notes:
*I will not be in school on Monday. I have to have my car serviced in Burlington and need to be there for 7:00 am. Drea, from after school, will be the substitute and my daughter Abby will also be here.
That is all for now. Have a great weekend.
Tommy
