Hello Room 115 Families!
I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are having a great start to the week! It is hard to believe that conferences are beginning next week! This is a short and simple email of reminders and heads up. You will also be getting an individual email from me letting you know of your conference time later! 1. This week is the Virtual Book fair! Please check the News You Can Use for more information about it! There will also be different activities throughout the week that you can log into virtually and see or watch pre recorded readings of books from teachers! (You will see a read aloud from in there!) 2. Braeside library is now ready for book check out!!! Please watch this video so you can start to check out books from school to read at home! Click here for the video! 3. PM CLASS ONLY: There is no live art zoom tomorrow, Tuesday 10th. Please check in your asynchronous lessons for information from Mrs. Pressman 4. Now that we are comfortable in our zoom synchronous sessions, I ask for your help on one thing. Please remind your students that toys and stuffed animals have to stay on the side until learning is done. I have reminded students that just like in school, we cannot bring our toys with us, the same goes for our zoom sessions. This will help us to stay organized, follow directions and be ready to learn so that we can continue to be successful! If you could also reiterate this with your students, it would be greatly appreciated! 5. Change of Student Schedule - Due to conferences, we do have a different schedule for students on Friday, November 20th and Tuesday November 24th. Friday, November 20th:AM Synchronous/Asynchronous class is cancelled. only PM class will be held (Asynchronous & Synchronous 12:55-3:10) Tuesday, November 24th: PM Synchronous/Asynchronous class is cancelled. Only AM classes will be held, synchronous (8:40 - 10:55 am) and asynchronous. I know the schedule change for next week is a bit confusing, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Again, I will reach out to you later with your conference time in a separate email!

Hi Room 115 Families!
We hope you are having a great week! Here is the sign up for conferences. This year conferences will be held on November 18th, 19th, 20th, 24th and 25th. Conferences will be held in the afternoon on November 18th, 19th, 23rd and 24th between 1:00pm and 8:00pm. If you prefer a morning conference time, they will be held on November 20th and 25th between 8:00am - 12:00pm. This year conferences will be done through Zoom or a phone call. On the sign up, you will be able to choose whether you’d like Zoom or a phone conference as well as a day and time preference. Please make sure that you choose two different days and times that work for you. We will do our best to give you the day and time that you have requested. We are looking forward to having a conversation with you about your child and how they are doing in kindergarten. Sign ups will close on Tuesday, November 10th. We will send you your allotted conference date and time on Monday, November 16th. Please email me if you need the link to sign up for conferences! Hi Room 115 Families!!
I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend and Halloween! It was so much fun celebrating with your students on Friday, I hope that you were able to enjoy it yesterday! I just wanted to share with you the instructions for your students for the assessment and remind you of that schedule change for tomorrow. Please read the directions on how to set up your students assessment here: Otus Assessment Directions. Please remember that I will be letting your students leave our class zoom 25 - 30 minutes early so that they can spend the end of our class time taking this assessment. The assessment does not work while your student is on Zoom which is why they will leave our class time early. While your students are taking the assessment, I will continue to be in our class zoom until our time together is up. If you have any questions or something is not working, you can come back to our class Zoom and I will be available to help as best as I can! Again, I please, please urge you to allow your student to do their best work and do the best they can with answering the questions from the assessment. I appreciate your help in getting them set up or moving from question to question. But the best way I can truly see how your students are doing is if they send in the answers however they do. Especially with conferences and report cards around the corner, it is important that I can see what your students know independently. With that being said, please also keep in mind that I am well aware that learning like this and that this assessment does not provide a full snapshot of who your child is and that I use this as just a series of things to measure how they are doing. Reminders: 1. No School Tuesday, November 3rd - Election Day 2. Look out for my next email with Conference Sign Up and Information 3. Otus Assessment Directions Thank you for all your continued help and support with learning at home. I truly appreciate it! Please, please reach out if you have any questions or you need any help with anything! |
