Signing Into Zoom
The district has let us know that all students will be required to be signed into Zoom with SSO. If your child is a virtual learner, please help us by having your child check to be sure he or she is signed in. If a student comes to a Zoom without being signed in, he/she will have to sign in before being let into the Zoom. If you're unsure how to sign in, you can use
this presentation to help you. You can also reach out to your teacher to ask for
help.
We thought it would be fun to include some student shares about what they enjoyed from the past week.
"My favorite activity was preparing for the Social Studies debate. We had to listen & read about a Patriot or a Loyalist. Then we use'd that person to get ready for the debate so you can say whether someone else is wrong or you're right. It was fun." -A Face to Face Student in 5D
"My favorite lesson from this week was Finding Main Ideas in a Text. This is my favorite assignment from this week because, I thought it was fun to read about the different topics. I also liked finding multiple main ideas in my nonfiction book. I thought the Boxes and Bullets strategy was interesting to learn and I thought it really helped me to keep my main ideas organized." -A Virtual Student in 5D
Seven Habits of Happy Kids
We have continued teaching our kids about the seven habits of happy kids. The fourth habit, Think Win-Win, has already led to some great discussions. As your son/daughter about what it means to Think Win-Win?
We have also been playing some games in our class meetings so that the kids have a chance to talk and have fun with each other. One of our most popular games so far has been Scattergories. The kids love it! It would make for a great family game, too.
