Distance learning consists of many components, so we have put together some expectations to prepare your child for second grade. These tools will allow you to introduce skills that your first grader needs. Attached you will find daily routines that we feel are essential.  

• Raz Kids
  • Read and complete a Raz-Kids quiz each day.
• IXL
  • Earn one gold medal each day.
• Math
  • There are two math packets (unit lessons and practice pages).  Begin unit lessons with Chapter 9. The “Reteaching” box is your lesson for each day.
  • Pink practice pages will correspond with each daily lesson.  Complete one lesson per day.
  • For fun, play a dice game of your choice!
• Reading Lesson
  • Read 15 minutes each day.  Students should read independently and have stories read to them.
  • The hardcover book contains a weekly story.  There is a skills packet that goes along with each story.  Complete 2-3 pages per day to finish the packet by the end of the week.
• Journal
  • A journal entry is required each day.  You can do this in many different ways!  You can use your monthly journal, journal pages from the reading skills packets, or in your own notebook.  We may ask you to send us a picture of your journal. 
• Science/ Social Studies
  • Complete an activity from the Science / Social Studies packet every Friday.  YouTube has many great videos on most of these topics. Have fun exploring with your child!

We wish we could be delivering these lessons to your child, but we know that they are in good hands. Enjoy this time with your first grader!

We have established a new normal and I’m sure that you have many questions. You will be receiving a lot of information in the coming days, but I wanted you to know that I’m here to help! I plan to offer Q & A “Live” sessions via Google Meet! Expect invitations in the near future. I’ve also listed classroom contact hours in which you can expect almost immediate feedback. As always, don’t be afraid to reach out outside of those windows! The official contact times will formally begin on Friday, April 3rd.

DAILY CLASSROOM HOURS:

9:00-10:00

1:00-2:00

5:00-6:00

Choose the time-slot that works best for your family. These times may need to be adjusted, as this is new to all of us.

To request a video meeting, send Mr. Cole a “Remind” message and use the following link:

Many of you have been using these tools since the beginning of the school year, but I wanted to make them available once again. I’ve limited the options to those I will be using most often. As always, reach out if you are having difficulty.

The school library has created a landing page with important resources for families in our community. There are links for each grade-level and teacher … It is evolving, so check back often!

The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year, but good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses like the flu. (CDC)
