Dear Families, I hope last week went well for all of you. When I spoke with many of you, you expressed a feeling of relief. While awaiting the unknown of distance learning, you were not sure of what to expect To be honest, I wasn't sure of what to expect either.. I hope as we have completed our first week, you found it to be manageable for your child as well as yourself. Our distance learning is not meant to be stressful, as we know you already have so many things going on at home during this time of uncertainty. Please review the learning calendar for Week 2 of Distance Learning. If you have any questions, please reach out via email, or call/text my TextNow number at 314-492-4094. This week, in our distance learning, the big project will be ELA. We are going to keep math simple with completion of just 3-5 dreambox lessons. In ELA, you will use the March/April edition of Storyworks Jr. to read an article titled, "Attack from Outer Space." With this article, you will complete 3 learning activities- you will find the directions in the learning calendar. In addition to this activity, you will follow the link below titled, "3rd Grade Online Learning Notebook ." With this link, you will need to use your Office356 account to login. Here, you will find our NEW 3rd Grade Online Learning Notebook in OneNote.
I wish you all a happy and healthy week! Sincerely, Mrs. Overman Scholastic Storyworks Jr. website password:vphawks 3rd Grade Online Learning Notebook ****if you end up needing a password for our online notebook it is 1234

Dear Families, First, and foremost, we are sincerely missing each of our students during this unsettling time. We hope this letter finds you and your family healthy and happy as you get to enjoy time together as a family. As we begin this new learning journey together, please be open and patient with us, as we are exploring new ways to engage you and your children through learning. We are excited about this opportunity; however, this distance learning never replaces our daily face-to- face interactions with your children. We are hoping these activities will find your child to be engaged and find structure within their days. During this time, much of our learning, will be reviewing what we have learned in the classroom. Each Monday, we will be introducing three activities in the areas of Math and Language Arts that can be completed at your convenience throughout the week. We will attach a Learning Schedule that will provide specific directions for each activity. Reading: Our goal for this week is to explore online reading websites that are used within the district. We will be using these websites in our learning activities for the days to come. Math: Our goal for this week is to focus on using Dreambox at home. We want you to complete 3-5 lessons before Sunday night. If you have questions about an activity, we will each be available on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9-10:30am to respond back quickly to you via email. We will also be checking in weekly with each individual family to see how you are doing and what we can do to support you in this journey. However, if you have a need of any kind, please don’t hesitate to email us at any time. *Another way to contact me is via my TextNow number. This will go directly to my phone- 314-492-4094 Points of contact could be via Zoom, email, Infinite Campus, or via the TextNow app. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reach out from our personal cell phones. Each point of contact will be dependent upon teacher availability and family need. Many thanks, The 3rd Grade Team P.S.- Please don't forget to follow the Hawk Way at home!
