Sending A positive Message to yourself and Others.

Check out these posters we have up all around our house. 

Why do you think we put them up for everyone to see?

What could you make and put up at your house?

Think about your spacing and try to Goldilocks it! Not too small not too big. 
 A pencil first can help you be sure it's exactly how you want it before you make it juicy with color to pop!

Hello Families,
I recently received word from our district about the guidelines I am to follow while we are distantly learning together. It changes some of what I can do and I want to share our latest plan for learning. I have posted this email on our BLOG so it's easy to find later. I will share each email I send on the blog to help keep us connected. I am committed to doing whatever I can to make this new way of teaching and learning work. I miss your children very much! 

At this point I am only allowed to provide instruction for up to 30 minutes each day for our students. This will be a combination of Zoom time with me and completing activities/assignments I post on Seesaw. The amount of time I can deliver instruction will extend over the next several weeks. I am going to reduce our Zoom time together so that I can have kids do some work on Seesaw and IXL. Kids are always welcome to do more if they want!
Reading at home together is always a great idea! Anytime you can do this together please go for it! Let me know how I can support reading at home.

Please always do what is best for your family. Let me know your needs. I am here for you! I have created office hours for parents to be able to connect with me. See below

Daily Class Schedule for "required" distant learning:
11:00-11:15 - Zoom with Ms. Christie - use the email link I sent.  ( email if you need it again)
11:15-11:30 - Students complete assignments/actives on Seesaw and/or IXL.

Zoom 
We will Zoom each day for 15 minutes. We will meet from 11:00-11:15am, Monday-Friday. During this time we will have a morning meeting to connect. Kids will share thoughts and feelings on a given topic or experience. The daily classwork will be discussed. 
If you need another invite to our Zoom meetings please let me know. We will use the same link each day.

IXL
I would like your child to log in and complete the diagnostic for math. Allow your child to take as much time as they need. This can take several days. 
If you need access information for IXL - please email me.

Seesaw
Have your child log into Seesaw and begin exploring the tools and resources available. There are several activities up to practice with. 
If you need access information for Seesaw - please email me.

Office Hours
Please email me ahead of time and I can be available to talk with you on the phone or over Zoom. 

I am available to talk/zoom:
Tuesday - 9:45-10:45 am
Wednesday - 5:30-6:30 pm
