I will be online from 8:00 am - 12:30 pm

and then 3-4pm If you have any question please email me!


Welcome, ESL, to "distance learning", otherwise known as "going to school online at home"! Please come to this classroom EACH DAY to check for announcements and assignment information. First, here are a few rules for online learning:


1 - DO ask me questions. If you have a question for me, please comment under the assignment you are working on. I will reply to all questions.

2 - DO get help from your parents. This is new to all of us. If you need help from a parent, that is okay! But please read directions give it your best shot BEFORE you ask for help.

3 - DO NOT use Google Classroom to chat with friends. You may comment with questions, but comments simply saying things like "Hi", "Reading is radical", and "I love cheese", for example, are NOT permitted.


Your first assignment - type "I agree" in the comments below to let me know that you read this message. :-)


Thank you, and come back on Wednesday for your first list of "real" assignments!

    • Dolch Words

It is important that your child learns to say and understands the meaning of the words below. Learning these words will assist them in being successful readers and writers. In order for your child to learn the words, I will need your help. Each night please encourage your child to pick a word; have them say the word; spell the word and write the word five times. At the end of the week have your child read all the words which they learned for the week. To learn these words, children need to practice reading and writing these words daily. These words are learned by memory. The more they see and use the word, them more their minds will retain the meaning and spelling of the word. If you go to fun sites you will find the words for each grade.
