A Letter to Our Parents and Students Dear

A Letter to Our Parents and Students Dear Parents and Students, Week 4 is complete, only 3 more to go! We've got this! Fourth graders, continue working hard! Thanks for making us so proud! Here comes week 5! We are ready, and we hope that you are, too! We miss you SO much! Please note that teachers are viewing all student progress on all websites to see how students are performing. Khan Academy assignments should be completed in order. There are still many students who are missing videos and assignments. Please watch the videos before completing the activities and quizzes. Videos need to be watched all the way through to receive completion. Students have the option to redo any assignment on Khan Academy. Some students are getting zeros and low scores on the activities. These should be redone (you have unlimited redos). Online quizzes (Khan Academy, Read Works, Brain. POP, Epic Books): Please try your best. If scores are below a 50%, they should be redone. Please let us know if you need something reassigned to you. Freckle: Freckle minutes cannot be made up from previous weeks. If you have questions regarding your child's Freckle minutes for the week, please email us. Students are encouraged to ask us via Teams, too. We recommend setting a timer and adding a few extra 'buffer' minutes. When students are not engaged or in the Piggy Store, students' minutes do not count. Freckle minutes for ELA and math are on Power. School. Students need at least 40 minutes for ELA and 40 minutes for math each week. Power. School: Parents, please continue checking Power. School to see your child's work completion and our feedback for each subject and assignment each week. Please remember, we are monitoring completion. Assignments may have a comment with more information (i. e. scores and feedback), so please monitor the comments, as well. If your child goes back and completes something, please send us an email so we know to change it. Please have all students' work completed by 4 pm on Friday so that we can update Power. School. If you need additional time (we understand), please email us so that we can go back to check their assignments. MS Teams: For assignments on Teams, please make sure your child clicks on the assignment -> clicks edit in browser -> types in assignment -> makes sure it says 'save' at the top -> closes out of the assignment -> clicks the 'turn in' button. Some students are turning in blank work because they are not using the browser version. Also, do not save the assignments as a different name. Students should double check their work after turning in an assignment. We will return blank assignments to the students to fix. Check the feedback comments for assignments. If an assignment is returned to the student and does not ask for the assignment to be resubmitted, please do not resubmit the assignment to the teacher. Watch this video on how to turn an assignment in on Microsoft Teams: Turning in Assignments on Teams Video. Students, remember to ask your teacher for help on Teams if you need it! We are here for you! Participation for PE, music, and art is expected. Please check their webpages for assignments and participation. If you have any questions about specials, please email the specials teacher for support. Just a reminder that Fridays will be considered "Flexible Friday" and will be a day for students to catch up on any incomplete work or for them to go on any of the optional websites listed for that day. ABC countdown: To give students something fun to look forward to each day, we created an ABC countdown. Each day will have a theme or activity for your child to participate in. This is optional and is meant to just add some fun into the days! Look at the top of each daily plan for more information. We will continue to be available each day on Microsoft Teams and via email. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you have throughout this unprecedented time. We are here to support you in any way we can. We appreciate all the support you are giving us as we navigate through this new journey, and we cannot thank you enough for that! We are heartbroken that we will not finish the school year in person with our fourth-grade friends, but we continue to look forward to hearing from our students and making those connections as our remote school year continues. We love you all! Take Care, The Fourth Grade Teachers mfish@summithill. org ; jkane@summithill. org ; rmillner@summithill. org ; jreno@summithill. org ; broach@summithill. org
