Week 2 of the 2020-2021 school year!

WELCOME! 

Ms. Reger’s nest is BACK and BETTER THAN EVER! I have been blogging for years and have enjoyed it so much that it has become one of my main platforms to share all that we are up to. I will be using this blog to share important information as well as to give reminders. This blog replaces weekly paper newsletters, excessive emails, and is always live and active for you to look back on at any point. I post to our weekly blog on Thursday evenings (of try to!) to review the week but to also share what is to come the following week. I hope you hop on often and read thoroughly about your child’s education. Thanks for being an active and involved member of our parent community! 


  • WAY TO GO, I have most of our families connected on Class Dojo. That is wonderful. That way we can message, you can see pictures of what we are up to, and it allows for you to see what points your child is earning. If you have not connected, check your emails! 

  • Please be sure your child is both LIVE and working on our days of the week. We balance the work day with online activities as well as with time together. 

  • We are working on having the very best online manners. These actions include having a quiet room to work in, we sit up straight, toys and household items are put away, and our eyes are on the screen. I enjoy seeing the students show these actions, it makes such a difference on how connected they are. 

  • Be sure your child is dressed appropriately, has a brain food breakfast, and gets ready for school, as they would if we were in person. 

  • The EXTRA EFFORT button is available to your child anytime beyond the school day if they want to continue playing learning games.

  • Your child will need access to their username and password for Xtra math next week. Have this ready for them at their workspace on Monday. A few emails were sent out this week on how to find this information.

  • Your child should have their work packets ready for Monday. These were at school ready for pick up on Wednesday and Thursday. Thanks for going to pick them up!

  • Need books at home? The Mesa Public Library offers curbside pick up.  It’s easy to hop online, request books, then arrive at the pick up times at your local branch. Use the link below to check out books from your branch!


A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK…

MATH

We will continue to work with GUS THE PLUS sign!  We will find more strategies such a counting up/on to find our whole as well as missing addends. This skill takes a little time to master, please do not worry, this is a skill we will work on all year long! The students will be working in his/her math work packet starting on Monday! I can’t wait!

ELA 

What fun our fictional stories have been! Next week we will continue to work with the 5 W’s as we make connections with who, where, and in what order of events. The students will be making connections while participating and working in their notebooks.  Be sure the module work is done as it reinforces our learning standards. 


SCIENCE

Newton’s Law, WOW, in first grade we are learning about how objects move! There will be a combination of activities on FVL and science videos. All activities will be found under the days of the week. 


SOCIAL STUDIES 

We will be working with the values of being responsible, respectful, and citizenship. The students will learn how we can be good citizens in and out of the classroom!
