If we go to full remote learning, please have your child attend our daily Zoom Meetings. Our class will meet at 8:30 until 11:00. We will have our morning meeting, math, reading, handwriting, story time, science, and social studies. We will take a break for lunch, recess, and rest and then met again at 1:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Mondays, Mrs. Silvernale will join us for music from 9:10-9:45. On Tuesdays, Ms. Lindsay will join us for art from 1:00-1:30. On Thursdays, Senior D. will join us for Spanish from 1:00-1:30.
Please have your child sit at a table. Children should not be sitting on or laying in their beds. They need a work space that is clutter free and without toys.
Your child should have 2 pencils, crayons, some plain paper, and a white board and dry erase marker if you have one, ready to use during each Zoom meeting.
No pajamas, please! Please consider having your child wear their uniform shirt. This will help set a productive and positive tone for their learning.
Please do not allow your child to eat while we are learning via Zoom. Sips of water from their water bottle is fine. But, your child should not be eating a meal or snack.
Please have your child mute their microphone when they are not speaking. Show them which button to push to mute themselves on their device. Remember, background noises are amplified over Zoom. Please be aware of this when you are in the room with your child. Take your phone calls and conversations into another room. Please be mindful of background noises, they are very distracting to your child and for our class.
Please do not do the work for your child. Remember that your child is learning new concepts, and that everyone learns at different paces. It is important to help your child and encourage them to keep working and doing their best, but please do not give your child the answers. Instead, help them work towards discovering the answers with your guidance, support, and patience.
Our Kindergarten Zoom link and passcode are always the same for every meeting.
****Thank you, thank you in advance for all of your help and support if/when we have to turn to remote learning. Remember, it is being done to keep everyone safe and healthy. It will not last forever.*****
On weather realated school closure days (snow days), our Zoom meetings will have a delayed start. We will start at 10:00.
