Dear Parents,
Welcome to week two of learning from home. I hope that everyone was able to login to Hapara Workspace last week and take a look at our weekly workspace. Our goal with this workspace is to streamline our lessons and place them all in one easy to access location.
Some notes from last week:
- If your child is finishing the work quickly, and would like some additional work, please take a look at the calendar located at the top of the workspace. For each day, there is a suggested extra activity for students to complete (ranging from an Art Activity, to Prodigy practice).
- If you child is completing the PRINTABLE homework, the only way for me to see the work is for you to EMAIL a picture of it to me (marina.summers3@gmail.com). If you try to submit it through Hapara, I only see a blank PDF file.
- If you and your child are having trouble creating accounts with any of the online resources I’ve provided, please email me: marina.summers3@gmail.com and I will be more than happy to give you a call and walk you through the process.
Google Form:
The grade 3 team created a survey for parents to find out how the work we’ve been providing is working out for families. We want to make sure we are sending the appropriate amount, that it is easy for you to access and understand, and find out if there is anything additional we can do to support your at home learning journey. If you have a chance to fill out the survey, please take a moment to complete it this week. We appreciate your support with this.
Google Meet
I know that most of our students look forward to meeting with each other on Google Meet. It’s the next best way for us to meet when we can’t be together as a classroom. Going forward, I will have one Google Meet planned for your child a week. Some weeks, we will do large groups. Other weeks, I will have small group sessions that are focused on a Reading or Math task.
This week’s Google Meet will be scheduled on:
I will send an invitation to the meeting through your child’s school email.
This week will be a large group session, where we will do a little math challenge, a sharing circle, and if there is time at the end, a quick read aloud with them. Please remind your child about video etiquette and how stuffies should not be a distraction nor should they be silly on the chat feature. Just like the classroom :)
I will be publishing this week's Hapara Workspace titled "Learning at Home - April 14-17" in a few minutes with work from Mme. Caminiti and I for this week. The work tasks won't be live until tomorrow morning and will be due Sunday, April 19th.
I hope everyone was able to find some time to unwind this Easter Weekend, despite the change in our routines. At my house, we had many video calls with family. As well as our very first Easter Egg hunt with my daughter who just turned two - that was exciting! It wasn’t the same as years past, but it was still special.
As always, any questions, comments or concerns - please don't hesitate to reach out!
