Good Morning!!
I hope everyone is ready for another week of digital learning leading into spring break! I saw this post the other day on facebook and thought it was very fitting: It was March 2020... The streets were deserted, the stores closed, and the people couldn't get out of their houses anymore... But spring had no clue! The rosebuds started to bloom, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping, the swallows were to be returning very soon. The sky was blue. The students had to do digital learning, and find some chores to do at their homes. People couldn't got shopping anymore, nor go to the hairdresser. Hospitals filled up and people kept getting sick. But spring had no clue! It was time to garden and work the yards, and the trees started waking up and getting green again. Before we know it, this will all be a memory. This is when summer arrived! Because spring had no clue! She kept going despite the virus, despite fear, despite death. Because spring had no clue! He taught people the will and power of life. Everything is going to be okay. Continue to be safe and stay healthy. Although my seasonal allergies might despise the green/yellow dust that is everywhere, my eyes are happy to see the beauty in spring! I hope everyone has a great Monday and an even better week! Hopefully a little bit or rain will wash away this pollen! To Do Today: Blue Math:

Remember, your child is an independent learner and you are in no way expected to keep tabs on their work. I will reach out if I do not hear from your child or they miss an assignment. However, if you would like to check on them, the video above will show you how to check their work in Google Classroom and Illuminate.

Good morning!
I just wanted to remind everyone that today is a teacher work day. I am very sorry this was not indicated in my email on Sunday. I was unaware it was going to be a teacher work day until yesterday. I have updated in students in a message in "The GREAT Class" in Google Classroom. If your child would like something fun to do today, I suggested a passion project! A passion project is a project of choice that brings you joy or lets you express your passion. It could be as simple as reading a book you have been trying to read but have not had time or researching and learning about a topic that you have always wanted to learn bout like planting a vegetable garden. If they choose to do some sort of passion project today, they can share what they did in a FlipGrid linked to Google Classroom. Students may also work on ZooTopia if they signed up to have some fun with this collaborative project! Have a great day and as always, let me know if you need anything! Good morning parents!
If you have any questions about my update from yesterday, please let me know! I have assigned students their work for today and provided them with a video as well to show them how to complete their work. To do today: Blue Math: Must Do's
Yellow Math: Must Do's We are starting our new unit on integers today!
I will provide different options for students to take notes. You can use an ipad and write on the PDF copy on the notes linked to the assignment in Google Classoom OR you can open the Nearpod (code: SGIUN)vand takes notes during the “draw it” feature OR you can simply print out the notes to put in your notebook.

Happy Sunday Parents!
I hope everyone had a great, relaxing weekend. As we look ahead into next week. I wanted to provide you with your student's work ahead of time just in case anyone wanted to prepare. The weekly choice board is attached with what students in each group should complete as well as some optional work including a fun project! Please remember students should be spending about 35 minutes a day on math, 35 minutes a day on ELA, and 20 minutes a day on specials. I will continue to update you with the work each morning and will continue to communicate with your student each morning as well. I will be holding help sessions through Microsoft Teams 3 times this week. The dates and times are: Monday at 10:30am, Wednesday at 3PM, and Friday at 10am. If your child needs any additional help with either a concept of technology, we can set up a one-on-one help session as well! To use Teams, I suggest you download the Teams (microsoft) application on any phone, iPad, or computer. Students can access their Teams through Classlink and will be redirected to the app. The app is not required but might help. HERE is a link to show you and your child how to log into Microsoft Teams. Don't forget about the Dolvin Virtual Spirit Days ! Tweet pictures of your students "working" from home using the hashtags #DolvinGoesDigital and #FCSrising ! If you need any help with technology tools at home, check out this helpful Parent/Student support website made for you by Dolivn teachers! SUPPORT WEBSITE Good morning!
Please remind your child how important they are to me! I end every class by saying "Don't ever forget!" and the students respond "I AM IMPORTANT!". I hope the first week of digital learning has gone well for you! Your students have been doing GREAT!! I have heard from every student or parent and the students are doing a great job being good digital citizens and independent learners! Next week will be very similar to this week with the exception of the worksheets. IF there is anything that you would rather have printed, please just let me know and I will send you a PDF of the file for you to print. Here are a few updates moving forward into next week:
To do today: Use fractions WS You may print this out, write your answers in the google doc attached to the lesson in Google Classroom, write over the PDF on your ipad, or write your answers on a piece of paper and upload a picture to the assignment in Google Classroom Optional Activities: Blue Math :
