Hello Room 19 Families,

I hope you had a nice weekend and are doing well. By now, you may have received a couple of packages in the mail. There should be one coming from Roscomare that includes a new math book and other papers. The second is a box of materials from the district. These are all important materials and your child will need to keep these together. We will use them in class often. Once everyone has gotten them, I will start asking the students to bring certain items to zoom. There are many little pieces, so it might be best to leave them in the box until we start using them.

Please help our school by contributing to the Spell-a-thon. It would be great to have more participation from our class. We are one of the lowest in the school for fundraising. If you can contribute, please do! Thank you. 😀

Sometimes zoom is unstable first thing in the morning and videos are hard to show. I will attempt to show the morning assembly tomorrow morning at 9:00, but you may want to have your child watch it with you as we have been doing all year.  Class starts after the assembly at 9:20.

"Lunch Bunch," our class version of a lunch playdate, will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Students are welcome to eat lunch while they socialize with their classmates on zoom from 11:55-12:15ish.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I am available to meet by appointment Tuesday - Friday between 1:40-2:40.

Have a great evening!

Room 19 Updates - January 18

Hello Room 19 Families,

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend! I have a few important announcements and requests.

This week there is a Materials Distribution Day scheduled for Wednesday, but I will let you know tomorrow if the 1st grade is participating. Regardless of our participation, I am asking that you print two things for your child. One is a "Friend File" needed for Ms. Justine's class. Students should not write on it yet, but instead should bring it to class on Thursday. The second is a sheet of tens and hundreds base ten blocks. Please help your child cut out the tens and hundreds and bring them to class Thursday. These can be added to the baggie of small cubes that will act as our units or ones. Thank you so much!

We will be watching a small portion (taped, not live) of the Inauguration on Wednesday or Thursday to honor this important moment in the American democratic process.

Please make sure you are asking your child if he/she completed the daily assignments in Schoology. You can also change your notifications as a parent to receive updates. I find this helpful as a parent myself. You can also periodically check the grades page to see if anything is missing. There are assignments I have not graded yet, but if your child hasn't turned something in, you can see it easily.

This will be the last week that I need to meet with individual students for the Middle-of-the-Year Dibels and TRC assessments. 

We started Theatre on Friday. Students will be graded on participation and on their weekly journals. Each Wednesday, they will watch a video and then write a journal entry during the asynchronous learning time.

Please let me know if you are having trouble in any way. I know this is a hard time right now for many. My office hours usually start at 1:45, but because of the reading assessments, I am available to meet between 2:30 - 3:30 by appointment. 😀

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Warmly,
Christina Polay
