Sunday Night Shout Out - March 15, 2020

What a different Sunday night Shout Out this will be.  Who would have ever dreamed even this time last week that we would be facing what we are facing tonight.  However, we will do what needs to be done and pray for the absolute best to become of this. 

****First of all, if you do not feel comfortable coming in to work at anytime, because of sickness or pre-existing conditions, you do not have to do so.  Coming in to work is not mandatory.

With that being said, we do need people that feel comfortable doing so, to come in this week.  We have some initial work that needs to be done.  As time goes on, we will adjust the schedule as we need to.  We will not ask people to come in if there is not work to be done.

Monday, March 16th

Please sign in with this Google Form. 

When you come to work tomorrow, go straight to your classroom or assigned work area.  We strongly recommend that people do not congregate together in a location.  I understand that grade level teachers may need to get together to work on your Sled choiceboards.  If you do, please keep your distance from one another.  If you bring your children, they need to stay in your classroom.

We know that most of you will probably not want to go out and eat lunch.  You can bring your lunch with you and when we are finished - you can go home for the day.  

HOMEROOM AND SPECIAL ED/SPEECH TEACHERS:

You will be working on your Sled Choiceboards. Our game plan has changed since Thursday afternoon.  We are not doing two different plans like we talked about.  We are doing one choiceboard for each day (11-20) just like we have the other days.  There will not be additional sheets added to the packet.  That means that each activity needs to fit into the box.  Students will still choose three activities to do each day.  At least three of those activities need to be paper and pencil activities.  Here is the link to the template for teachers to work on these. 

1.  Open the link above.
2.  Make a copy of the doc and save it as ____ Grade SLED Choiceboard Day 11. Don't make changes to my template. Make a separate doc for each day. Each grade level should have 10 separate docs - one for each day.  Share that with all your team members, special ed collaborating teacher, Valerie, Andrea, Whitney, Sonya, Michelle Cash and myself. 

I would also suggest that each grade level add other activities that are optional for parents to do with their students.  These may include links to resources, reading together, math facts, etc.   

Our goal is that these choiceboards are done by the end of the day.  

*If you were to finish early, you can always begin cleaning on your rooms.  

SPECIAL CLASS TEACHERS, GRANT/RTI TEACHERS AND INSTRUCTIONAL ASSISTANTS

Your assignment for the day is to call and make contact with families who have not signed up for meals.  We will meet in the library at 8:30 to divide up the names and numbers.  Please spread out in the library and do not sit together.  This is the easiest and fastest way to get the information to you. Before 8:30 - please be cleaning your work area.  

Here are some links and information you will need to make the calls.  But I will explain all of this tomorrow.
