Classroom News and Reminders
Please be sure that your child returns all of his/her learning materials that were sent home last week. (dry erase board, text books and crayon/pencil pouch)
Thank You- I just wanted to say thank you for a smooth transition to remote learning. Our class had almost 100% participation on EVERY Zoom. I can't tell you how proud I am of the students for continuing to work hard and thankful I am that they have such supportive parents. Thank you for being awesome!
Staying Safe- We will continue to follow the three W's at school to make sure that we keep everyone safe. If your child has ANY symptom that seems out of the ordinary, please contact our school nurse before sending him/her to school.
Valentine Cards/Snack- I plan on doing the same thing for Valentine's Day that we did for Halloween. I will ask parents to send in individually wrapped snacks for the students to have throughout the week. The students will create Valentine bags and can exchange cards. I will send more information on this later in the week.
CogAT- We will be administering the CogAT makeup tests on Tuesday, January 26th. This will only involve a couple of students from our classroom.
Check-Ins- ELA and Math check-ins will be administered January 28th and 29th.
Reading Homework- Your child should be reading for a total of 30 minutes each night. Please log the book that your child reads in his/her assignment book.
Have questions for the school nurse?
COVID - Please be overly cautious when considering when to send your child to school. It is VERY important that we all follow the guidelines when it comes to quarantining. If you have been around someone that is sick or has tested positive, please reach out to the school nurse to get information about what you need to do. Read over the attestation form each day to make sure that your child is healthy and able to come to school. Masks should be worn to school each day and washed in between uses.
Our school nurse Kimberly Sluder is here to help you navigate this challenging year. You can find her at school at 336-838-4261 or on ClassDojo. You can also reach her by email -- Nurse Sluder at sluderk@wilkes.k12.nc.us
