Home Work Plan For Kindergarten While Schools Are Closed

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

Due to the school closures related to COVID-19, we are now moving to a digital learning plan in order to continue our learning.

Each day your child should:

• Complete at least 10 minutes or a lesson on ReadingEggs or read on Raz-Kids and complete quizzes 
• Complete at least 10 minutes or a lesson on MathSeeds or Dreambox -- Dreambox School URL: https://play.dreambox.com/login/xe2y/9d4dSchool Code: xe2y/9d4d
  Classroom Code: 95668
• Read a story with your family

·       Write a sentence or more about your favorite part of the story in a journal or on a piece of paper.

• Work on the homework for the week which will be posted Monday March 16^th by 9:00 am.
• If your child attended school on Friday March 13th you can also complete part of the packet that was sent home as well. 

While we operate this digital learning plan, please keep the following things in mind:

• Kindergarten teachers will post/email assignments daily for students. 

• Emails and Blog Posts will go out by 9:00am each school day we are using this digital learning schedule. 
• Assignments will be up to a 1 hour total for all subject areas. 

• Virtual office hours will be offered each weekday we are operating under this digital learning schedule. The elementary teacher virtual hours will be from 9:00am - 10:30am. This time will be used for answering questions, communicating with you and your student, and providing feedback as needed. We will be available via email during this time.
• Communicate directly with your child's teacher if you have a question concerning an assignment. Please continue to use their preferred means of communication while we use this online learning plan. 
• Students have accessed all of the above digital tools (ReadingEggs, Raz-Kids, MathSeeds and Dreambox) throughout the school year but if you need their login information email your child’s teacher during their virtual hours from 9:00am -10:30am.
• Check out the following YouTube channels for fun educational videos and songs we use as well.

Please make sure you share our digital learning plan with your child so they understand what we are going to be working with during this time. 

Thank you for your support as we embark on this digital journey. We are excited that the learning will continue and are looking forward to the opportunity to be back together soon. 

Wishing each of you health during this time. You are all in our thoughts!

Sincerely, 
Kindergarten Teachers

Here is information for the digital resources. Papers with login information have been sent home during the school year but if those have been misplaced see the information below! 

ReadingEggs and MathSeeds are the same website once logged.

Your child's login is their student ID number for username and password. Most of the students already know their numbers but we also wrote them in the front of their agendas at the beginning of the school year.

Raz-Kids

Step 1: Go to www.kidsa-z.com

Step 2: Enter or choose the teacher's username, jrodgers4

Step 3: Their username and password is their student ID number again

Dreambox:

School URL: https://play.dreambox.com/login/xe2y/9d4d

School Code: xe2y/9d4d

Classroom Code: 95668

Their usernames are their student id numbers but Dreambox generated their passwords and I was unable to change them. I sent a paper home with those logins a little while back but if that has been misplaced just email me and I will get it to you when I can. 

Your children should know how to login to ReadingEggs, MathSeeds and Raz-Kids. The only one they might not know is Dreambox because it is new. I'm sending this out now because I won't be available 9:00-10:30 am on Monday because of a doctors appointment but I will check my emails once I am home from that appointment on Monday. The rest of the days I will be checking emails during those hours. 

As always you can supplement with more than what we are asking you to do but also check the homework when we post it. As we will have assignments that will support not only reading and math but also science and social studies. 

Thank you for your flexibility and patience during this time, 

Mrs. Rodgers
