Good morning everyone!
Parents, please check your email for important information about this week.
Students, we will be having story time on Friday at 9:00. I will send you a Zoom invitation soon.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Check back daily for any announcements.
Ms. Smith

Happy rainy Monday morning everyone!
 
I hope you were able to enjoy some free time over your Spring Break.
 
From this point on, please find all information on our Edlio page.
Look at the 2nd tab on the right for the weekly overview. You can use that as a check off as you do assignments.
 
Look under each subject tab for more specific information. Email me with any questions you have, and I will do my best to help you.
 
Please watch the videos about how to use the Wonders website. They contain information about how to use the "To Do" section, which is where your Wonders work is assigned. You can access all assignments from the To Do section. If you are assigned something to read, it can also be accessed from the "Read" section.
 
At the end of the textbook assignments you may be assigned a question or two to answer. You will find those questions at the bottom of the pages. Next to those questions is a little black circle with a picture of notebook paper inside. Click on the black button and a writing area will pop up. You can answer the questions there. After typing in your answer, click on "save" at the bottom right. Then click on "submit". You should see the assignment is checked off on your To Do list. There is also the ability to type your Your Turn Practice Book assignments directly onto the page and submit those in the same way. In that way I can see the work you did. You may still do those assignments in your actual book though.
 
I will be posting the Science review sheet later today, so don't worry if you don't get to that today. I am having some problems with that file.
 
I will be doing some trainings this week so that I can add more ways to connect with you, and our class can become more interactive. I am hoping to use Microsoft Teams, which is another way we can chat and submit assignments, so I will send information about that soon, and we can get started with some practice using that this week hopefully.  You should also try using Outlook from the portal to email your journal work today. If that doesn't work, just write it on paper, or email me from your parent's email. I haven't seen how it works for students yet, so I can't really answer questions about it.
 
When we get more direction from the district office, I will be able to give you more information about what we will be doing in the future about grading and other concerns you may have.
 
I miss seeing each of you each day and our classroom interactions. 
 
Sincerely,
Ms. Smith

Good morning everyone!
 
It was nice to see so many faces of room 8 yesterday. I've really been missing seeing all of you each day. I was experiencing audio delay on my end, so I'm working to fix that. Hopefully the next time we check in it will be better. 
 
Next week is Spring Break. I hope you enjoy some down time. I will post the plan for the week after Spring Break by Sunday evening,  April 5th, at the latest. 
 
Have a wonderful break!
 
Ms. Smith

Good morning students,
 
Please look for your invitation in your parents' e-mail to join our Zoom check-in meeting to say hello to each other. It will be tomorrow, Thursday, March 26th, at 10:00 am. If you are unable to join us, we will have more check-ins in the future. Looking forward to seeing my Room 8 students then! 
 
Also science for the rest of the week has been posted in our science section.
 
Thank you!
 
Ms. Smith

Good morning students and parents! Happy Monday!
Assignments are posted this week just like last week. 
Please email me with any questions you may have.
 
Students: I will be checking in with you using Zoom this week, most likely on Wednesday. 
 
Parents: You will receive an invitation in your email for your child to join the meeting. The directions are self-explanatory. I know many of us are sharing devices at this time. If your child cannot meet with us at the meeting time, I will try to arrange a second time. No worries. It isn't mandatory. It's just a check-in to say hello. Also, this is my first time doing this type of check-in meeting, so there are bound to be some glitches. Bear with me! We'll figure out what works best over time.
 
Looking forward to seeing you then.
 
Ms. Smith

Good morning everyone,
Here we are at Friday.  Mrs. Pastell will be giving the teachers more direction today as to what next week will look like. Please bear with us as we go through this transition. We will continue to post assignments on the group web page, and science will still be located on this page. I will add resources to this page as needed. I will post updates here as I find them out. Thank you for your support this week. I miss you all!
Ms. Smith

Good morning students and parents,
Our next 3 days of assignments have been posted to the shared digital learning page for 2nd grade. I added science assignments yesterday to the page you are currently on. Look at the science link in the blue side bar. Please email me if you have any questions or something is not working correctly. Thank you.
Ms. Smith

Good Morning: Tuesday, March 17, 2020

Good morning boys and girls,
I hope you are doing well today and are getting used to learning at home.
I have added the science lessons for this week. Please see the Science Chapter 7 tab in the blue sidebar section for this week's lesson plan and resources. 
Email me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Ms. Smith

Announcement about next 2 weeks of school

Dear Parents and Students,
An email has been sent regarding our next 2 weeks of school.
On Monday, please check our Edlio page entitled "March 13- April 3rd" at the top of the blue sidebar section. Weekly assignments will be posted there along with links and other information.
Also check the regular homework page which is now the 2nd item in the blue bar section.
Please feel free to email me anytime during the 2 week period. I will be answering emails between 9-11:30 daily regarding assignments. If you do not have a printer, please use the assignments as a guide for your child's learning. Any assigned worksheets can also be written on scratch paper rather than printed or can be done on a whiteboard, if you have one, and checked by an adult .
Thank you for your patience and understanding. 
Sincerely,
Ms. Smith
