Mrs. Stone's Second and Third Grade
January 11-14
Remote Learning News
Hi everyone! Below you will find a schedule we will follow for the next several school days. We will hopefully return to in person learning on Monday, January 25. Remember that this Friday, January 15 is a teacher workday. Students will not have work to do on Friday. Monday, January 18 is a holiday, so students will not have school work that day either.
All work will be assigned through Google Classroom. Students have been working in Google Classroom each day at school and are familiar with how to find it and what my expectations are. You may need to remind them to make sure they mark each assignment as done when they finish. There may be some things that they have forgotten how to do virtually. I will explain those things on Zoom, so please be sure your child attends each Zoom. Any website that students will need will be linked on Clever. Clever should be bookmarked on their bookmark bar, so it will be easy to find.
We will continue to follow our specials schedule just as we would if we were at school. I will attach a link to the necessary specials class Smore in Google Classroom and here. On Wednesday, tomorrow, we will have Art. Thursday we will have PE. Both of those Smore links are below.

Happy New Year! This month is a big month for assessments in second and third grade. Last week, I started reading with students individually to assess their reading levels. This week we will be completing the Star Reading and Math Benchmark assessments. I am excited to see how much they are growing. In this wild year, they are pushing themselves and staying focused. Stay tuned for conference sign ups later this month and next month.
Classroom Notes and Reminders
Attestation Forms-
**IMPORTANT**
Before signing these forms each day, please be sure you have carefully read the whole form.
Thank you for completing this every morning!
Yearbooks-
Yearbook order forms were sent home last week. If you need another form, please let me know. Online ordering is available.
Assignment Books-
Please check your child's assignment book each night and initial it. I check these each morning for signatures and special notes from you.
Math Homework-
After Christmas Break, we added a tiny bit of math homework for each night. Students will be practicing skip counting. The expectation is that they skip count aloud while an adult listens. If they make a mistake, tell them the correct number, and have them start at the beginning and try again.
