This is it! Our last week of school is beginning today! The 6th week of Instruction is May 22 and ending June 3 (the last day of school).

Please contact me if you have any problems at all. I do not want anyone to be frustrated over anything work wise. I am here to help in any way I can.
This is very upsetting to me…the last ‘This Week’s Happenings’ for the school year 19-20.
I want to thank you all for your support, help, cooperation and kindness throughout the year. It was an amazing class of students that I had the pleasure to teach. I will always remember them, not just because this year has been crazy, but because this group has been wonderful! I know the parents are the reason the children are who they are, and I appreciate all you have done.
Thank you SO much!
I would like to drop off a treat for each student sometime in June. If you are not ok with this, message me on Dojo, otherwise I will be in touch with more information. Please keep the Dojo app even though we will be out of school.
I hope your summer is filled with fun and good health!

PLANNED INSTRUCTION WEEK 3
Here we are in Week 3 of Planned Instruction, beginning tomorrow, May 1.
Hope this finds everyone well.
For ELA this week, the order does not matter.
In Math, please follow the numbers to complete each step.
Thank you for sending the pictures. I know this is a lot to put on you. I really appreciate all of your hard work, as parents, to make this successful.
It has come to my attention that the students do not get notified if there is a comment sent to them through Classroom. If an assignment is turned in to me and I give a comment about something that needs to be changed or redone, I will send you a message on Dojo. Unfortunately, there is nothing at this time that would alert a student of this on Google Classroom.
Office Hours continue every Tuesday and Thursday from 1-3. Use this link to join: meet.google.com/mrj-pogk-uvs
Paper Packet Pick-Up is tomorrow, May 1 (4-6pm) and Monday, May 4 (9-11am).
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. DO NOT let anything upset you. I will help navigate through any problem or issue you have.
Thank you again for getting me through this. I said it all school year…This is a great class, not just the students but the parents as well.

PLANNED INSTRUCTION WEEK 2
PLANNED INSTRUCTION – WEEK 2
Continuing with this Phase of our education plan…Week 2 will actually begin tomorrow, April 24.
I am trying to keep the same format as last week. ELA, Math and Science/Social Studies will each have their own headings.
This week I am numbering the activities in the order your child should complete them. If a number is not assigned, then just keep those until the others are finished.
Remember to click that you have completed an assignment.
Send pictures on Classroom or Dojo.
Office Hours will continue every Tuesday and Thursday 1-3pm. This time can be used for questions or showing the completed work or just for the children to say HI, to me or each other.
Here is the link for Office Hours: meet.google.com/mrj-pogk-uvs
Or you can go to the NSE Teacher Information page on the District website and click on Office Hours next to my picture.
Paper Packets have 2 weeks of work so there will not be a pick–up this week. The next time to pick up Packets will be May 1 and May 4 for those of you who signed up for them.
Please keep me in mind if you are feeling overwhelmed or upset. Send me a message and I will help in any way I can. We are in this together!
Thank you all for your participation and comments! Your support and cooperation have been wonderful.
Stay Well!

PLANNED INSTRUCTION WEEK 1
We are moving into Phase II of the Continuing Education Plan. This will begin on Friday, April 17.
Planned instruction means a new skill will be presented each week. There will be assignments on this new material, as well as some review.
This will look different than the last two weeks. Online you will see ELA, Math and Science/Social Studies headings. Under each heading are the lessons and assignments. Please follow the order from top to bottom.
We are now asking if you can either submit the work from Google Classroom or take a picture of it and send it through Classroom or on Dojo. Most of you are doing this already! Moving into this phase means we are looking for engagement or an attempt to complete some of the work.
This will continue for each week through May, and school will end as scheduled on June 3.
Office Hours will continue every Tuesday and Thursday 1-3pm. This time can be used for questions or showing the completed work or just for the children to say HI, to me or each other.
Paper Packet Pick Up will be April 17 4-6pm and April 20 9-11am. These will contain 2 weeks of work. The new packets will include new skills. There will be pages that will explain the new material. The assignments will be on the new material as well as some review pages. If you could send me a picture on Dojo or just let me know that the work is complete, that would be great. I will be checking in with you too.
Make this as easy for yourself as possible. I do not want anyone to get frustrated or upset. If something is not working please let me know and I will help or find help as soon as I can.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation!

Welcome to Online Learning
Hey All!
I know that a few of you have already logged on and got started with some of our online school work. Great!
For those of you who may not remember how to log on...Go to the North Schuylkill website, find classlink. Once there, sign in with your ID # and the password nse##### (nse and ID# together).
Then if it asks you to sign into the gapps account, use the same username and password.
You should find our classroom.
Good Luck and if anyone needs any help. Please let me know.
You may complete these using a plain sheet of paper and pencil and copy the work from the screen or if you want to, some of the activities can be printed. Printing is not necessary. Do whatever is most comfortable for you. :)

A new set of vocabulary words will be written in the blue notebook on Thursday.
The comprehension test the students took last week will be the last time I read the story to them. It will be their responsibility to read the story part of the test and I will read the questions. To help your children with this important comprehension skill, ask them to read a page in a book and then ask them some questions about it.

Thursday: Day 2 > Library
Friday: Day 3 > Music
In Language Arts……We will be assessing listening comprehension and phonics skills of short e and blends this week. I will give the students time to read the comprehension story independently. Then I will read it to those who need to hear it. This is our first step. With each new story, we will become more independent.
Please review the vocabulary words in the blue notebook. I will be listening to the students read the last set of words this week. If there is an index card stapled to the front cover, please practice these as well.

Math…We dove into Unit 4 last week. Some of the skills we will be building are expanded form, numbers to 120, place value, tens and ones and greater than/less than. Any pages that come home are yours to keep.
Missing numbers in Spring Math is our current skill. The students have really been doing well and gaining points.
