Now, let’s discuss our class meetings. After some trial and error, I think we’ve developed a learning environment to best meet the needs of first-graders. Hopefully, I’ve not added too much to your plate. We will continue to schedule the small group sessions. I will always plan for a short mini-lesson. Each weekend, I will clear the Google form that we used this week. You should now have access. You can sign your child up every Sunday night, but please be careful not to delete someone else’s entry. It happens. I think it would be best if only parents use that form. I will change times occasionally to make allowances for the challenges of your workweek. I’m also hoping that this will provide changing student combinations!

In addition, I would like to open up some “free chats” for students/parents. This would be your chance to ask questions or have your child “chit-chat” with the teacher. No lessons! I think we could all benefit from a little more human contact, but it will be optional. I will provide three half-hour windows. Please know that there is no scenario that will work for every family, but I will try to make accommodations when I can.

SISU!
