Dear Students:

I have missed you dearly. This past month without you guys has been brutal. It had never occurred to me that we could be apart for so long. A million virtual kisses and hugs I am sending out to you. I truly hope that you and your families are doing well during this time.

Now that you guys have received your laptops, it is time to continue learning. There will be weekly assignments posted on my third-grade page on the rmjs.org page. You will need to click on third-grade, then click on the arrow and scroll down to my name. In that page, you will find your weekly assignments.

Hang in there! Remote learning is new to all of us. I will start with easy assignments; then gradually walk you through different activities. With the help of several technology trainings from the school district, and some done on my own; I will try my best to incorporate new things. Let’s continue our path to success by persevering to work hard during this remote learning time.

Love always,

Ms. Machado

PS. I have included our class song. The moral of the song is the following: Distance can be temporary but true caring teacherly love is permanent.

Be strong,

stay safe

and

never give up!

Dear Parents or Guardians:

Grades for the 4th marking period will be Credit or No Credit. For purposes of determining whether a student earns credit, each student should have one assignment per week, per class or subject that is submitted to their teacher for feedback. This should be an assignment that can be completed within the amount of time spent on that subject during the week. (Students should be working remotely a minimum of 3 daily hours on assignments sent by teachers.) Teachers will provide feedback on submitted assignment and can request that the assignment be revised and resubmitted. Earning credit for a given assignment, and ultimately the marking period, is based on submission of assignments to the teacher.

Respectfully,

Ms. Machado

Dear Parents or Guardians:

Grades for the 4th marking period will be Credit or No Credit. Each student should complete one assignment per subject (Reading, Writing, Math, Science and Social Studies) that is submitted to their teacher for feedback.

Till this day, I have 11 students in my class that have not completed any work. This will result on these students getting a no credit for the 4^th marking period. Students can go to rmjs.org and complete their Reading, Writing and Math work. Then, they can go to reaworks.org and do their Science and Social Studies. I will extend the Science and Social Studies activities at the Readworks site.

To help students out, I will be requesting that they only complete the work for the following weeks:

· May 4 - 8, 2020

· May 11- 15, 2020

May 18 -22, 2020
