Ok, I will admit it, us teachers were excited for that ONE snow day on Friday...the first Friday. However, enough is enough! We promise to never flush ice cubes down the toilet again in hopes of a snow day! :)
I cannot even begin to tell you how ready I am to be back in the classroom with my 3rd graders. We have learning galore to do and then some thanks to our little snow-cation that took place. I wanted to share a few things with you. One is about Valentine's Day and the other is ways to extend student learning at home. Valentine's Day Our Valentine's Day party is quickly approaching. Our party will take place on February 14th from 2:15 - 3:15. Following the party, we will clean the room and read a book or watch a short video. You are welcome to take your child early or leave them with me following the party! Please use this attachment to RSVP to our party. Keep in mind that I have to turn in a list of all the people who plan to attend our party and all have to have a background check filled out. If you think you MIGHT come, put your name down just in case. I will send notes about treats home this week! How to Extend Learning At Home Over these last few snowy and cold days, I have really taken a close look at what resources we have at our fingertips whether we are in school or out. These are a few really great resources that can be used to extend learning at home. Please use these resources as they fit into your schedules to help support the learning that we are doing in class. Thank you for your continued support! Moby Max: This is an excellent resource that has ALL curriculum available. Students earn points and raffle tickets through Moby Max that are even good for real life prizes! Please use your clever badge- emailed to you to login like you do at school. Kid Blog: This is a resource that is new to the class, but one that I have used many years. This is a platform for students to blog about learning, do creative writing, share hopes & dreams, and connect with each other. They are able to comment on the blogs of their classmates as well. All comments and blogs are approved by me before they are live so that all content remains respectful and safe. We will have a blogger of the week each week that will be highlighted in class. This will be primarily used at home, though I hope to have time to blog at school as well. Steps to Login: 1. go to kidblog.org - click "login" 2. click on "class search" at the bottom of the login screen. 3. type in my email [email protected] 4. click on 2018-19 5.Click "login" again in the top right corner 6. select your name from the dropdown menu 7. type in password - goeagles 8. you will have to create a new password. please use your last name as the password (no capitals). 9. To make a post click on NEW POST in top right corner. Readworks.org One benefit of many snow days was lots of time to dig around resources I have used to find amazing features that can benefit the class. This resource I plan to use in class weekly and will have new assignments up regularly. This is very closely matched to the way the M-STEP looks and hits our standards very well. Extra assignments completed at home will be celebrated in school. How to access:1. Have students go to www.readworks.org/student 2. Students enter class code H3CYJU 3. default password is 1234
