I want to thank everyone for the wonderful gifts. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. As we are half way through our break, I hope students have taken the time to practice using Achieve 3000, IXL and I-ready (third and fourth grade only). Parents , as you have noticed students went home with their reading and social studies notebook. They should be looking at their notebooks and the vocabulary links on the previous posts to make sure the have all the vocabulary words for module 1 and 2 in their notebooks. Remember that at the end of January students will be taking midterm exams which will cover module 1 and 2. Fourth grade should be reading through chapters 4 and 5 from the social textbook to review colonial New York and get a head start on the American Revolution.
Quick reminders for when school resumes on January 3rd;
-Make sure students have working pencils
-They bring their books back to school
-Extended day is no longer in session

PRESENTATIONS and GOOGLE CLASSROOM
Third and fourth need to upload their presentations to Google classroom. If second grade types their questions you may upload to Google classroom as well instead of printing. Here is how you do it:
1.Log on to classroom.google.com
2.Select my class'
3.Scroll to the post that says "Native Americans Heritage Presentations"
4.Click on the button that says "open"
5.Then Click on the button that says "add" located on the left side.
6.If its your Google drive ( which for third and fourth it should be) because in class you started using Google slides. You select the drive icon ( triangle shape). (Go to step 7)
or
If its saved on your computer/drive/usb you select "file" which has a paper clip symbol. This will take you to your saved documents and once you find your work you select it and add it and take you back to the "Native Americans Heritage Presentations" post and in a few seconds your presentation or document will be be attached. (Go to step 9)
7.This will take you to your drive where your work is saved.
8.Double click the presentation and this will take you back to the "Native Americans Heritage Presentations" post and in a few seconds your presentation or document will be be attached.
9. BUT you MUST PRESS SUBMIT. IF not , it will show up as not done.
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
In the past three weeks we have been using Google classroom for a variety of different things. It is a technology tool that allows students to do work and save it without ever losing it and allows students to submit to teachers. It also allows us to communicate as a few students have done about their presentations by sending projects in early and receiving feedback/comments without it having to be a school day/time.
With that being said parents should be looking at this with their children so they too can see what students are doing and the feedback teachers have sent back. ALL students in third and fourth grade have been told numerous times by Mr.Badia and myself how to submit work. So that is not an excuse they can use for not completing work. Many have failed to submit classwork on time and are completing it during lunch this week. Others have not submitted homework and have till Sunday to make it up and submit it. BUT after This week there will be no work accepted late. NOT GIVING HOMEWORK IN WILL RESULT IN ZEROS. NO COMPLETED WORK DUE TO LACK OF FOCUSING ON THAT TASK IN CLASS WILL RESULT IN COMPLETING DURING LUNCH DETENTION.
AS FOR THE NATIVE AMERICAN PRESENTATION: THIRD AND FOURTH HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR NOT COMPLETING THIS AS IT WAS POSTED ON SUNDAY NOVEMBER 20th. IT HAS BEEN ON THE REMINDER SECTION OF EVERY WEEKLY POST AND FOR THE LAST WEEK HAS ALSO APPEARED ON THE TOP SECTION OF THE BLOG. NOT HAVING THIS COMPLETED WILL RESULT IN ONE WEEK OF DETENTION. HOPEFULLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR ANYONE AS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOUR WORK TOMMORROW.
