Hello 2nd grade families! I hope you are all happy, healthy, and staying safe. I know Ms. Hayes has updated you on our distance learning extension through April 7 in an email today. Here are a few other things to be mindful of...
As of today, First Eucharist is still scheduled for Saturday, April 25. If that needs to change, I will update you the moment I hear about it.
Communion photo sessions that were scheduled for next week are being rescheduled for later during April. You should have already received an email about this.
We are starting a fun (and optional) all-school activity called Hawk Hunt Day. Ms Hayes sent home information in today's email that lets you know how to participate. Good luck!
Don't forget to check the Specials Teachers' web pages for online learning activities. Our Spanish teacher will be adding activities for grades 1-5 next week, so check them out. I've been learning some Japanese on my Duolingo app on my smartphone, and really enjoying it, but it is a much harder language to learn than Spanish!
Parents, if you feel your child is being assigned too much work, PLEASE reach out. I'm trying to find the right balance and keep our kiddos learning everything they need without causing undo stress on your family. I know homework can be difficult to manage when you are working from home yourself, have more than one child, and perhaps limited devices to share. The math videos on the PearsonRealize site that are assigned should be helpful with daily work, but if you or your child need help, let me know and we can set up a FaceTime session for help. Due dates can also be extended. I'm flexible.
I'm trying to figure out the photosharing issues so that you can view all the pictures I post without having to repeatedly ask for access. Hopefully I can get that worked out soon.
Here are the assignments I'd like you to snap a photo of and email to me sometime this weekend, if possible:
From the READING WORKBOOK: pgs. 421, 422, 430
From the ENGLISH BOOK: pgs. 150, 151, 152
From the MATH BOOK: pgs. 707, 708, 725, 726
From the RELIGION BOOK: pgs. 265-266
From your child's JOURNAL: this week's SPELLING TEST, given by you on Friday
From the packet sent home at the beginning of online learning: SCIENCE Lesson Check 2 Words to Know Worksheet
If you need additional time to complete and/or "turn in" photos of the written work above, please let me know.
Online assignments from the PearsonRealize site that I'll be looking at for Assessment are:
Reading - Weekly Online Test
Science - Online Quiz for Lesson 2: What Changes Land?
If you need me to extend the due dates for the online assignments beyond the weekend, please let me know.
AND TO MY DEAR STUDENTS,
I MISS YOU! I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY AND LOVE SEEING YOUR PHOTOS! IT WILL BE GREAT WHEN WE GET TO BE TOGETHER AGAIN! PLEASE BE KIND AND HELPFUL TO YOUR PARENTS AND YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
Watch for next week's work to be posted on the Homework link of this webpage by Sunday evening.
STAY HEALTHY, STRONG, AND SAFE!
