 Dear Families,

I hope you are staying cool this weekend.  It was our anniversary yesterday, so we decided to sneak away to Lake Tahoe for a couple days. Your children are doing a wonderful job doing Distance Learning.  I know it’s not easy, and I appreciate all of them and your efforts.

This week’s theme is “Think Like a Scientist.” Here are the Weekly Plans. 

Math Groups:

We will start practicing math groups this week. Math is from 10:20-11:20 am. This time slot will be split into 2 groups. Group 1 will meet with me first while group 2 will work on lessons in Seesaw & Zearn. Then we will switch at 10:50 am so I can meet with group 2. The groups are not skill-based groups yet. These groups will allow me to get to know your child’s math skills better. Here are our Math Groups for this week.

***Reading Assessment: 

Please help your child find a very quiet space to record themselves reading & retelling a passage on the Literably app to do their Reading Assessment from 12-1 pm this Wednesday:  Literably app. I will show them how to do the assessment during our zoom class on Wednesday morning. If your child attends daycare at that time, please find another time within the week for your child to complete the assessment. Please complete this by Friday evening.  If you need more time, please let me know.

School Supply Pick-up, 9/14: 

Monday, 9/14 is another supply pick up day from 12-1 pm for all first graders. Drive through the main parking lot to your teacher’s table and pick up the next month’s school supplies. 

Reflex Math App:

If your child has a personal device, NOT a school device:  Please download the Reflex Math Facts App. We will be using this app starting Monday, 9/14. This is what the app looks like: 

Parent-Teacher Conferences: 

Sign up for October conferences: Fall Conference Sign-Ups sent via email. I will share my assessment data with you and address concerns you may have. 

Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.
