Ms. Robertson's Class

March 25, 2020

Hello!🙂
I have invited the class to google classroom so they may access daily assignments. These assignments will begin right after spring break. Please continue to access the activity sites I sent you in the interim period. To access google classroom, you may go to google classroom on line and enter that way of download the app. Your child will need to use their email and password I sent to you. If you need the class code please email me at larobert@k12.wv.us and I will send it to you.
I will be forwarding you a google classroom tutorial to assist in navigating the site. I am new to this as well, so I will try my best to assist you in any way I can. Please let me know if you have any suggestions along the way to help me and any other parents and kids as well.

Report card grades will be sent to you on this Friday via email. My report cards are actually in the room at school so I will be sending a grade without all of the subcategories marked.

If you and your family need nutritional assistance or family crisis assistance, please let Mrs. Johnson, Ms. Bubb or myself know and we will be glad to help in any way we can.

I hope you all are well and enjoying some family time together.

Good morning!☀️

I am heartbroken that we will not be in physical school for the rest of second grade. I have enjoyed working with all of you and will miss your smiling faces.

Please keep reading, writing, and working on math as much as you feel you can. Don't feel pressured at all. I understand that this is a difficult way to do schoolwork. You guys are better at digital than I am! 🙂😳

Please go to the site: powtoons.com. Search for opinion writing second grade videos. There should be four episodes to view. This will be our next writing genre. I will ask you to write opinion stories coming up. They are actually fun.

Mystery Doug is a cool way to view science videos. It's free. Just type in Mystery Doug and go to the site. There's actually one on germs.

Go noodle is also a great exercise site with many songs. You have to sign up but it's free.

I will be sending you reading activities through think central which us our journeys reading series. We are setting that up soon. The stories are on the site.

Keep working on happy numbers math.

Moby Max is a good site for practice and lessons. The kids are familiar with that as well.
We are working on adding and subtracting, but feel free to try other math ideas.

I am asking that you snap or scan a story that you gave written. I can't wait to read them.

Parents,
I am sending a few sites for your child to work on. Please do not stress while navigating through the sites. If you are having trouble with the sites, please email me and I will try to help. I totally understand that there may be issues with things getting turned in. Don't worry. My main objective is to have your child reading and practicing math skills so they can retain what they have worked so hard on thus year. This class is a super group of kids and they are all eager to learn and do what is asked if them! I am learning some of the sites as well, so I will try to respond as quickly as I can.

1. Please snapshot one story you have written and send it to my phone or email.
2. Seesaw.com. - you can download the app or go to seesaw.com for great lessons I gave assigned. There us a class code to type in after signing in. It will last for an hour. You can go back in after an hour by putting in the new code. After an hour or less you will probably want to go to another site anyway. The directions are in the drop down box.
3. Epic books.com has a wonderful selection of read aloud stories for enjoyment.
4. Tcmpub.org also has a wide variety of read aloud stories.
5. Math playground, prodigy, Sheppard math are sites the kids use regularly at school.
6. Happy numbers.com has student lessons added for them. They will take a pretest first and then go from there. I will send each of you in a separate email their password.

*I am in the process of setting up individual lessons for reading in read works.
**I am also in the process of setting up individual email accounts for each child to access and use google classroom as a tool to submit stories to me.

Please remember to not stress about what your child is working on. If they are facing trouble on the sites, just let me know and I will see what I can do to help. There may even be a case where I will exempt them from that site without worry.

If your family is in need of food/nutritional services, please contact Mrs. Johnson.

Enjoy this time with your family. I know it's a "weird" time, but please don't let school stress you.

Blessings,
Laurie Robertson
