Remote Learning Assignments

Good morning!

 

It’s the last day of school!!!!!!

This is definitely not how I expected our year to end and I am saddened by the time I lost with your students in the classroom. However, I am so grateful that you helped me continue to be their teacher remotely. I have seen them work incredibly hard to adapt to this new way of learning and I am very proud of their continued growth. I am even more grateful that they are all healthy and safe. Thank you for being my team through this all! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of families to navigate this uncharted territory with. I hope that you enjoy a much-deserved break!  

 

For our final Zoom session today we will do one last review and read a book together. Students have RazKids and IXL assignments as they did the last couple days but I hope that they will also spend some time continuing to explore Freckle.

 

Students can attend P.E. class at 11:00.

 

Please remember that tomorrow is book drop off and report card pick up day. Our scheduled time is 9:30 – 10:30 AM. Please review Mr. Ambriz’s email for instructions. Remember your masks! Students need to return their Wonders textbook and any school library books they have at home. I will not be able to give them their report cards if I don't receive their Wonders book back. If your student collected money in their CRS rice bowl during the Lenten season they may also turn that in on Friday. I look forward to seeing you!

Art Project: CIRCLE MADNESS!

Hello Second Grade Artists! Your job is to find interesting items that have circle bottoms to trace into a geometric overlapping design. 

First click the youtube link below to look at my demonstration of how to turn the create this masterpiece. 

link: https://youtu.be/90pQEd8OVxI

 

Step 1: Collect 4 items around your house that have a circle edge you can trace like cups, bowls, erasers, etc. 

Step 2: Hold the object down with one hand and use your other hand to trace the circle item on your paper using a pencil. Trace each circle three times in different places. You should have between 10-12 circles in total. 

Step 3: Use a black sharpie or marker to trace your circles.  

Step 4: Use crayons or colored pencils to color in the sections, remember you should not color over your black borders so that you have many beautiful colors throughout your project. You may add patterns or use solid colors. 

Step 5: Mom or Dad email me a photo of your student's work by Tues. 3/24. My email is [email protected] 

Please hold onto your student's artwork for later submission.

 

Feel free to contact me through email if you have any questions or concerns!

Have fun creating those Masterpieces.
