UPDATED Important Notices for Week Of April 6 to 10

Dear Parents
          Just a reminder that school is in session three days this week and then on Thursday our Easter break begins.THERE WILL BE A HALF DAY SCHEDULE ON WED. SO WE ARE DONE AT 12:00.   There will a Performance Based Writing Test on Monday which concludes  Unit 3 Module A and a Math End of Module Test on Tuesday which concludes Module 4.
           After the break you will need the Math Module 5/6 workbook to continue assignments. On my last days at school I brought these new set of workbooks downstairs and parents were informed that they could come to pick them up at the school  If you have it, then you are ready.  For anyone who was not able to pick it up, I did some research so I could provide you with a  link to this site It is:


 * Mr. Woods said that first grade parents are no longer allowed to come in for workbooks.  This link also provides many Math resources to help parents understand the Eureka Math program.

                I will also be assigning on www.discoveryeducation,com two Math videos which will help students continue their practice in learning about money, which we were working on just before we left school.  These are similar to the one on place value I assigned last week, which someone commented they liked.
               I am giving you this information now so that you have time to look ahead and prepare for the upcoming school work after the break  As for your concerns about any logins that are not working, I have already informed the coach and  am awaiting any further replies on this matter.
 
              In regard to grades, marks for students' daily work and tests (since the pandemic) have been entered on Educate so they can be included on your report cards.   Educate is always turned off for parent viewing during report card time; however the grades have been entered.  As of yesterday my report cards have been completed and submitted to Mr. Woods for review.  Only today's Math test cannot be included for now.  Report cards should be mailed to you within a few weeks.  I did send a few test grades to you by email using google classroom to see if that works but my main focus for now was to have them all entered on Educate so they could be included on the report cards.

            I want to thank every parent for their patience and cooperation in this matter and I want to wish you a healthy and peaceful  Easter.  Please do not be concerned, our class is doing fine!
