Hello Room 115 Families!!
I hope that you had a wonderful first week back last week and a good weekend! It has been so nice to see all of your students again and get back into routine! Last week we created our new zoom rules and expectations for learning online together! We focused on our 1 is a Clam and 8 is an Octopus book! We learned new reading strategies about how to predict, think about the problem, predict a solution, and compare our solution to the actual solution of the book. This week, we will do our last sort, work on some more writing and reading strategies. As you know, we have a word of the day. By the end of this week, we will complete the first three columns of sight words that your students should know. I will later share with you a copy of the first three lists in case you want to continue working on them as well! In math, we are completing the 1 is a Clam and 8 is an Octopus book. We will have a catch up day tomorrow where students will have the opportunity to check and make sure each page has the right number of animals and work, as well as finish the pages they need if they are behind. If for some reason your student does not complete all 20 pages by the end of the day tomorrow, it is at your discretion on completing the book. Please hold on to this book, for we will be placing it on our binders when we eventually come back to school! We then will be reviewing and learning new math strategies and practices the rest of the week. Important information 1. iWeek began on Saturday! While this is optional, it is a great way to dive into books with your students and help create a motivation to have the most minutes not only as a school, but as a class as well!

There will be a student material pick up this week. It will most likely be on Wednesday, January 13th. I will share more information with you about that later. 4. I have had some emails and questions about next steps for virtual v. hybrid learning coming back. Please know that there is a board meeting tomorrow if you are interested in learning more about the plan. 5. I will be adding to our GoodReads bookshelf soon for new and updated books if you are looking for some suggestions for iRead! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Have a wonderful Monday and you will hear more from me soon!

Good morning Room 115!
I hope you had a wonderful winter break and happy New Year! Welcome back! It was so great seeing your students yesterday and being able to get back into routine! I wanted to give you a bit of an update as we begin learning again about materials, topics and school information! 1. Student iPads were updated over winter break! Please make sure that your student is logged into their gmail account to have access to activities and videos that may be shared through smore or Seesaw 2. Weather Unit Asynchronous Work: For the next couple of weeks we will be learning about weather in literacy. Your student will be completing a weather journal everyday. They will be drawing, looking at the temperature, and keeping track of the weather in tally and bar graphs. There will be a Seesaw activity for your student to do this online, but, if you have a printer and would like your student to do this with paper and pencil that is an option as well. Or you can mix and match, and print up the data page and have your student do the drawing and temperature page on Seesaw. You can download the pages here or use the smore board to print from! Journal Page - Weather Data Page - Weather 3. January book order: This month we are doing another scholastic order. Please CLICK HERE for the scholastic catalogue. Please remember to press select SEND TO HOME so that your books can be delivered straight to your home instead of school! Our class code is: email to ask 4.iRead is here!! For the month of January we will be participating in a virtual iRead. The kickoff is this weekend, Saturday, January 9th! Checkout Mr. Hailpern's latest News You Can Use to learn more about it.
