Weekly Learning Outline for October 19th

We had another great week last week. Students have done a wonderful job sharing their ideas with one another while listening to one anothers personal narratives. They also did such a good job asking insightful questions while learning why people immigrate to new countries. I am very impressed with them! 

Weekly Learning Outline for October 12th

Have a wonderful week! 

Weekly Learning Outline for October 5th

Happy October! I can't believe we have alread been in school, learning remotely, for 4 weeks. I can't express how impressed I am with the hard word that students are displaying everyday. I know it's not easy, but they have been quite inspirational. In my email is information about Scholastic Book orders. It's so cool that book orders can be directly delivered to your home during the pandemic. Also, I am in need of a family photo from each family. Thanks so much!

Room Reps

Thank you to Linda Hattar and Dana Sutan for being our room representative this year. 

Weekly Learning Outline for September 28th

Again, I can't express how proud I am of each and every student in room 207 for the hard work they are displaying every day! Way to go!

As stated in my email, on Wednesdays, students will only be seeing one enrichment teacher from now on. For the next 3 weeks, they will have gym on M, T, and W, and Spanish on TH and F. Then on the week of October 18th it will switch so students will have gym M and T, and Spanish on W, TH, and F. I will also share this information with the class throughout the week so that they know of the change and know where to go on Wednesday. 

Curriculum Night Presentation

For those of you who missed our curriculum presentation, I have attached it for your reference.

Weekly Learning Outline for September 14th

We made it through the first week! I am so proud of each of my students for their hard work and I wanted to take a minute to express how thankful I am for your patience and flexibiltiy as we entered into this new world of teaching and learning. For your information, I sent an EPIC Books invitation to your emails this weekend, so students have access to this digital library. Also, students will be venturing to Khan Academy on Monday to take a pre assessment. Below is the weekly learning outline for next week. It has been upgraded, thanks to Ms. Behan, so that you and your child have have a better understanding of what is being done during our synchronous live sessions and what is being done during independent, asynchronous sessions. As always, please let me know if you have any questions. 

Curriculum Night

The 3rd grade curriculum night will be on Tuesday, September 22nd @ 7:30. Similar to our Meet and Greet, we will begin as a whole grade level then separate into individual classes to answer questions. I hope to see you there!

Usernames & Passwords

Usernames and passwords to educational websites, like RAZ Kids, EPIC Books, Envision Math, Kahn Academy, etc., will be shared with students in the near future.

CPS Volunteer Process (for in class volunteering and chaperoning field trips)

CPS has expanded the official online volunteer process to include all school volunteers. In previous years the official process has been reserved for those parents that are volunteering more than a 6 hours a week and for those that were volunteering for overnight trips. We ask that all parents that want to volunteer at any level get officially cleared through CPS. Please complete the online form through the link below. Please sign up as a Level I (overnight trip) or a Level II (day field trip, classroom help, school event etc.)
