Happy Monday, Everyone! Today marks the beginning of our 4th to last week of school for the 2019-2020 school year. This week, you may notice that I have included a new page on the website titled, "class photos." It was fun loading these pictures to share with you. It's amazing how much the kids have grown through the school year. I even have a picture of each student on the first day of school- if you want me to send it to you, I would gladly send it your way. This week, learning will look slightly different. All of the lessons for language arts will be found in a PowerPoint. Just follow the lessons as you work throughout the week. I have included the link to the PowerPoint. Additionally, in the PowerPoint your child will be asked to respond with their thinking or ideas on padlet. The link will take them directly to the padlet page. The goal for math is to complete 5 or more lessons on Dreambox and at least 1 lesson from Mrs. Kulik and Mrs. Garlich's website. Our next Zoom session will be on Wednesday, May 6th at 10am. I hope to see you ALL there! I will send the invite early next week. Best, Paige Overman
Dear Families, Welcome to week 6 of distance learning. I apologize for just posting this message for you all, however, our little Charlie has been running a fever the last few days. I’m hoping it’s just teething and we will return to normal soon! Attached below, you will find your week 6 learning calendar as well as your week 6 learning activities in a word document format. If you are having trouble with submitting via Office 365 in OneNote, feel free to type in the document, save, and send back to me at the end of the week. I will save it in your child’s OneNote folder. I hope this email is finding you all happy and healthy. We will Zoom again on Wednesday morning at 10am. Please look for an invitation to come later today or tomorrow. Best, Paige Overman
Families, I hope this email finds you all safe, happy and well! I do not know about you, but today sure gave us a taste of what is to come... warm spring air and sunshine! It was such a beautiful day and just was I needed. My family and I stayed out until it was too dark to play. My kids loved every minute of it! This week, in your learning activities, you will be using three different websites. All of the links can be found on the classroom webpage or through the links provided on the learning calendar. You will use Dreambox to complete at least 5 lessons, explore Mrs. Kulik and Mrs. Garlich’s website, and use a new website Abdo for your reading assignments! Check out the learning calendar and PLEASE let me know if you have any questions or concerns. This week, we will have our classroom Zoom meeting on Wednesday morning at 10am. Please join us for some fun and learning: Topic: 3rd Grade Meeting Time: Apr 22, 2020 10:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada) Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/98780279932?pwd=YndoSVhGOVBpam1SRkRIYURMKzgyUT09 Meeting ID: 987 8027 9932 Password: 1WuLLy Finally, Wednesday will start our ABC's countdown to the end of the school year (how is it so, just 26 days left?!?). Please see the attached calendar for fun and exciting activities as we approach the end of our 2019-2020 school year. Wednesday will represent the letter "A."

Dear Families, As many of you, I am still processing the heavy news we received last Thursday. Knowing we will not return to school to finish out the 2019-2020 school year has made this situation much more real than it has been these last three weeks. I am so disappointed that we will not return to the classroom together this year, however, we can continue our learning and community building through our Zoom meetings and participation in our Distance Learning activities. I have LOVED all of the emails and text messages I have received with pictures of things that are going on within your families- I will start to post these on our class website. I think the kids will look forward to seeing new pictures added. This week, we are going to be using SuperScience as our main source for our Language Arts activities- have fun with these. I know Mrs. G, Mr. B, and myself had fun planning these activities for you. In addition to Language Arts, we will be continuing with Dreambox lessons. My goal is to have the kids complete ATLEAST 5 lessons this week- please push your child to meet this goal. As we have in the past weeks, we will continue to submit work through O365 OneNote. Also, please do not forget to log your reading on your reading log located in your OneNote notebook online under the Homework tab. If you are struggling with this, please use the document below for your child to type their responses, and email back to me. Either way will work! As always, please feel free to call, text, or email at any time! You will notice that due to the shortened week, 3rd grade teachers, and several others, have changed their office hours. Even though we have “set hours,” I am usually very quick to respond unless it is a crazy day with my littles (today was one of those days… thank goodness it is almost bedtime for these sweeties.) Our next Zoom session will be this week on Thursday, April 16th. Please look for the invite below. We will talk about our science activities and spend time chatting about whatever else the kids decide. This meeting will not be nearly as long as last weeks J I love allowing the kids time to talk because they are missing their friends so much! However, please know, you can set up Zoom sessions for your kids and their friends, too. Finally, Please join one of our Math Interventionists, Mrs. Garlich, for a math lesson tomorrow, Tuesday, April 14th at 11:30. You will need some scratch paper and a pencil (or any writing utensil will do!)

I hope this letter is finding you happy, healthy and safe. Best, Paige Overman Paige Overman is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Dear Families, I hope this past week has found you all to be happy, healthy and safe! I'm not sure how you are feeling about distance learning as we enter into week three, but I sure am missing our routines and most of all, the kids!! This week's ELA lessons will be structured the same way you saw last week- all activities will be focused around a fiction story from Scholastic Storyworks Jr. titled, Enemy Pie. In addition to ELA being structured the same, Math will continue to be the same. Students are asked to complete ATLEAST one Dreambox lesson, with the goal being 3-5 lessons each week. As an additional learning activity, we have included science as an OPTION. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, remember these activities and structures are not meant to be stressful to you. If you find that things are not working well, please reach out to me! I am here to help! All assignments for ELA will be submitted via OneNote, as they were last week. . I have attached a quick video (in progress...) of where to go once you are in OneNote. All students have received an invitation through their email address. The students' email address is their graduation year, 29, with their first initial, and last name. For example, if I were a third grade student, my email would be [email protected]. All students passwords should be Hawks followed by their lunch pin. This week, we will Zoom on Tuesday at 6:30. Hopefully this is late enough that it will not interfere with dinner, but early enough to not push bed times back.
