Act out stories after reading them to reinforce comprehension Create a reading challenge with simple rewards (not tied to money or food) 4.

Important Virtual Learning Update- Based on parent feedback we have made some changes to our Virtual Learning Plan. If we have a snow day, all teachers will be following the schedule listed below for Live Synchronous Instruction through Schoology. Each teacher will deliver 1 hour of live instruction, not just a check-in. Additional classwork will be posted in Schoology. We hope the staggered schedule helps families with students in multiple grades levels if they need to share a device. PreK-9am-10am , Kindergarten-9:30am-10:30am, 1st Grade-10am-11am, 2nd Grade-10:30am-11:30am, 3rd Grade-11am–12am , 4th Grade-9am-10am. The attached video reviews how to login to Schoology, navigate to your homeroom course and use Schoology conferencing… https://youtu.be/xfGbZVOYgYk. Please continue to check Class Dojo for any updates from your child’s teacher regarding virtual learning. Teachers are sending home paper packets and copies of choice boards outlining work for students who may not have access to technology. If a student is absent or cannot access synchronous learning, in accordance with Board policy, assigned work must be submitted within five (5) school days following the return to in-person learning. Assigned work will be graded at the teacher’s discretion. Technology help is available through the WCPS Help Desk at… https://tinyurl.com/WCPSHelp
