Week 4- Learning Tasks

Mrs. Singh’s Class’ Tasks- April 27- May 4^th, 2020

Hello Parents!

I hope you and your families are doing well. Students have been doing some really amazing work and I am so proud of them.

I wanted to just give a friendly reminder to all families that it is VERY important that students complete ALL the work assigned to them on their own. It is wonderful to help your child when they have questions, but it is imperative that we allow our children to complete their work on their own just as they would in class to build their independence and confidence. All assignments that are posted are made in such a way that students should be able to do them on their own with very little support from a parent or sibling Please understand that I want what is best for your child and the way for them to grow is to allow them the ability to make mistakes and as a result, learn from those mistakes.

Week 3 Learning Tasks

Mrs. Singh’s Class’ Tasks- April 20-27^th, 2020

Hello Parents, 

Thank you so much for all of your help and support at home helping your kids transition to online learning.  This has been a very steep learning curve for us all, but I am very impressed with how these first two weeks went. 

  

A few important pieces of information: 

GOOGLE MEET 

This is a time where I would like ALL students to join in and participate. Students will have an opportunity to chat with their peers to have a sense of normalcy. I will also be doing short lessons on topics we are learning about. This is a great time for students to connect with their peers and ask questions J

Next meeting: Wednesday, April 22 at 1pm 

Class Nickname: sksingh51 

OFFICE HOURS 

These are times that I will be in our Google Meet space, available for online help for children.  If they have a question or need help with assigned work, they can sign into our Google Meet space any time during these times, and I will be able to help them.   This time is scheduled for student help.  If parents have questions, please email me and we can schedule a separate time to talk.  I am always available via email to answer questions.  This is a wonderful time for students to have some one-on-one time with the teacher. Please note that this time is not mandatory for all students to come at these times. It is meant for anyone who has questions or needs help with assignments J

Mondays: 1:00pm-2:00pm

Fridays: 11:00am-12:00pm

  

If you were having trouble getting onto Google Meet, please email me and we will figure it out.  I have figured out a better way to view students.  You can install this free chrome extension onto your computer and it will allow your child to see everyone in the class and make it way easier for them to follow what is going on. Plus, they get to see all of their friends at the same time!! This is completely optional, students do not need this to participate in Google Meet conversations….it’s just a neat little add on! 

  

You can install the FREE Google Chrome Brower extension here if you would like:
