Hello Room 16 Students and Families!

 

Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another week of distance learning.  Today, I am excited because I have MANY announcements to share with you.  First, I have 3 new video posts for you and your child to watch today.  Let us review each one:

 

1. Story Time-Today's story is, "The Duckling Gets a Cookie!?" by Mo Willems.  Do not forget to try and and answer the questions throughout the story.

 

2. Letter/Sound Identification-This video can be viewed anytime for letter and sound identification practice.

 

3. Math Lesson-This week we are going to learn about solid shapes.  Today we will start with the cube and also review the basic shapes.

 

As the video posts increase, it may become hard to keep track of them all.  There may be a certain story, or lesson you may want to go back and revisit.  Here is a helpful tip to always find the video you are looking for.  All the video posts are saved under the video tag in the black box under my picture.  After clicking on the video section, you can use the search bar to search for specific videos by typing in key words.

 

Another lesson I want to call your attention to, is a new link I posted under my picture titled, "Number Pages."  If you have access to a printer, these worksheets can be printed for your child to complete.  In class, we would complete these number pages once a week.  I emphasize to the students to write and cut neatly.  To extend the lesson, you can do a few rounds of box game and then transition into the number page.  The last page we did in class was number 15, but you may work on any number.

 

I also highly recommend you check out Mrs. Penaranda's page today.  She has posted an excellent link to the, "Scholastic Learning at Home" site.  This is definitely something I would look into, as the lessons are displayed in a daily format that is easy to understand.

 

Lastly, I saved the most exciting news for last.  Save the date, we are going to try a class ZOOM meeting this Thursday, April 2 at 10:00 (tentatively).  Parents check your emails for a meeting ID and password in the upcoming days.  We may even have a special guess going us!  ZOOM is an app that can be downloaded to your phone or computer.

 

I hope you all have a nice Tuesday and enjoy all the new content.  Remember, I may be calling or emailing you to say hi, and check in and see how everything is going!
