Positive and Productive Childcare While the Kids Are Not in School
Presented by Randy Sprick
Choose one of these sessions:
April 1 at 4 pm ET
April 8 at 2 pm ET
As parents, there are times our children drive us crazy! In this time of rapid change and, for most of us, some kind of confinement at home, this can be especially true. Getting through the day can become tense, and we can be unsure about how to discipline our children.
Join us for this free web-based meeting with Randy Sprick. Randy is a parent (and yes, sometimes his children drive him crazy), a grandparent, and a world leader in effective behavior management. His presentation will cover things you can do to help your children learn to behave better and become more independent and responsible.
- Learn how and when to use consequences for misbehavior
- Learn how and when to use praise
- Learn to make daily life more pleasant and relaxed around the house
You will learn that you are already doing many things exactly right and add strategies for making things better! Come and join us for a fun and entertaining session.
Please share this information with parents in your community.

Science with Ms. Hoyle
For science this week students will be working on their Space Science Standards. All resources will be found or linked in our Schoology classroom. I have posted videos to help kids navigate Schoology, so that they know where to find things. The main folder that we will be using is the one titled, eLearning Lessons in there the students will see a folder that says live lessons. This is where students will find links to their live sessions for science. They will also find a folder that says week 1. Students will do most of their work in the Week 1 folder. They need to start by watching the short video on how to read our science PowerPoint, and then they need to click on the hyperlink to open the Week 1 PowerPoint. In the PowerPoint they will find their assignments for each day of the week.
Math with Mrs. Bange
Hello! I am excited to start teaching your child again! On Monday and Tuesday, students will review the syllabus and expectations for online learning. They will also be familiarized with how to navigate Schoology and find their math videos and assignments. On Wednesday and Thursday, students will work on converting fractions, decimals, and percents. Students will NOT have any graded assignments or assessments in math this first week of online learning. Beginning the following week (the week of the 13th), students will have an assignment each Wednesday, which will be due on the following Friday. Please see the attached syllabus. It can also be found on Schoology. If you have any questions, you can reach me at (785) 289-5662 (Google Voice number), or email at lindsaybange@usd475.org
Language Arts with Ms. Griem
Hey you cool cats and kittens! For the rest of the school year of online learning we are going to be focusing on nonfiction text. It is important that you are able to login to you commonlit.org account or create a commonlit.org account if you do not have one. We will be using commonlit.org for the rest of the year. IF you are having issues please try to get them resolved before your first live lesson with me next week (Starting Monday, April 6th). If you check Schoology there is a lot of helpful videos/instructions on how to troubleshoot some of the problems you may be experiencing, but you can always contact me with issues! I would also recommend checking your email/Schoology to see updates from your teachers. I am super excited to see your face next week and listen to all of your fun adventures you have been having while not in school.
World Geography with Mr. Akagi
Next week for World Geo, we’ll be getting into the swing of things by finishing up our unit in South Asia. We’ll be focusing on India’s large population of over a billion people. I understand this this is a very new system for everyone, and not everything will go 100% right for everyone. That is okay, we will continue to try our best, and adapt. I have the class syllabus in Schoology, where you and your student can examine expectations, and what we have coming up for the rest of the school year. While we won’t get to cover everything I had hoped to, we’re still going to learn about our very cool world.
