Update as of 5/5/2024
Hello,
I hope everyone had a good week while I was out. I missed seeing you all and working in a classroom, though my trip was both busy and fun! This week, we will wrap up our insect learning and next week we will have a day of review and a day of celebration of learning. We will then start our unit "Transition to a New School Year". We will highlight change practices as some children will move into kindergarten and many may be changing schools or classrooms next year. We will work on solidifying current knowledge, following the children's interests, and building friendship skills. I will continue to develop slides and post lessons.
Upcoming dates:
5/6/2024: Year-End Teaching Strategies Gold assessments and IEP progress notes will go home for students. I will have some availability for conferences on 5/10/2024 for students going to kindergarten next year if there are any questions on reports.

We use "Google Slides" to provide visual supports for students during our classroom lessons and post them here. You can review them anytime to get a sense of our classroom and use them if your child is learning remotely for a short time. If our entire class enters remote instruction temporarily, lessons and links to live meetings will be posted here.
In the case of remote sessions, Teams meetings links will be posted here and emailed to families. Additional video content (with teaching strategies will be embedded in slides above.
