Monday March 23

Welcome to Day 1!
For language arts, you can practice whichever popcorn words your child is on whenever you want. These are listed on the side for your availability. When students have a list mastered, you could take a video and email it to me. :) We will still practice spelling words weekly. The words this week are: give, house, tell, them us
You can practice spelling words whenever you would like. I am going to divide language arts skills up throughout the week - Monday will be for journal writing, Tuesday will be working with words (spelling practice), Wednesdays are for listening to and responding to stories, Thursdays will be sentence writing or making words and Fridays will be spelling test/read to self or stuffie, or parents. I will try to keep this kind of language arts schedule to make an easy routine for children. I would say try to read together every day if you can. I will also try to add links on the side to websites for reading, listening to stories and other activities.

Today we will just be dipping our toes into online learning. I have assigned a practice log-in post in Google Classroom for students to make sure they can get into Google classroom. After that, there is a language arts game and a math game that they can try by clicking on the links in Classroom. These games are on ABCYa, which the children have used before and should be fairly comfortable with.

Here is a link to a video of logging in to Classroom:

Getting into Google Classroom

The best thing about your Google log-ins and passwords is that they are the same for all Google apps. If you take a picture with a device, you can save it in your child's Google Drive. If you are already logged into classroom, just go to the Google Drive website and you will be able to add new files like pictures in here. If you save them in Google Drive, they will be easier to share on Google classroom as well. I may be able to make a video about this in the future.

I will also send an invite to your child's account for Google Hangouts. This is an instant messaging platform that works through you child's Google password, and I can just send a message to your child individually.

This week in math, we will finish up some skills for Numbers to 100 before Spring Break. I'll be posting activities in Google Classroom and on here for you to try at home.

Have fun with math and language arts games today. I will have a new post about tomorrow's activities soon! I will do my posts for the next day's activities in the afternoons. Take it easy today and we will go one day at a time!
Take care, Love Mrs. B
