Post Conferences and Online Assignments

Parents,

Hello!  I wanted to thank all of you for attending your child's conference last week.  Hopefully you were able to gain some insight to your child's education and progress.  I was very impressed with how well the students shared their work and were honest about their behaviors.  Thanks again for coming in!

One area that I wanted to mention was online assignments.  Your child is given different assignments throughout the week.  Rather than running off the assignments on paper copies, I am working towards assigning some of your child's work online to complete and submit to me.  Your child is very familiar with using Google Drive for Google Docs, Edmodo, Kids Blog, etc.  The assignments your child will have are typically completed on those sites.  Currently, we have assignments that are given that can be completed here at school.  However, some students have incomplete assignments from classwork and need to finish up.  Those assignments can be completed at home.  

Starting in a few weeks, I will be assigning homework assignments that your child will have to complete at home using either Edmodo, Google Drive, Kids Blog, etc.  Your child will be assigned an assignment for a night and will be expected to complete it on the computer, much like a math sheet/journal page or fluency passage.  Your child is expected to complete the assignment, unless it is an extended assignment that he or she will have several days to complete.  While some of your children have access to going onto a computer at home, others do not.  If your child does NOT have access to a computer at home, your child can come to the classroom at 8:00 before school, and complete the assignment at that time.  Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you!

Throughout this week, we are preparing for a "Mystery Skype" that will take place on Monday, February 25th.  We are going to review our geography skills and prepare questions that we can ask the class we are skyping, as we are going to try and figure out their location.  We will let you know if we figure out where our class is from next week!  Stay tuned!

If you have any questions, please contact me.  Have a great week!

Sincerely,
Mrs. McCarville
