Dear Families,

Sorry for the day late blog post. My internet has been very spotty the last several days. It has been a technology battle at my house. I hope you all are well and safe. New classwork was posted in our Google Classroom yesterday. It includes review and practice on adding and subtracting decimals as well as work on the Civil War.

END OF YEAR NEWS:

School Supplies: It seems as though there will be news coming this week or next about school clean up and access to the Marshall building. Decisions will be made once FUSD leaders hear from Doug Ducey. Once I know how students can access their supplies, I'll be in touch.

End of Year Grades/Transition Reminder: Per FUSD's announcement to families last month, all students will be transitioning to their next grade level. Additionally, no student's grades will be lowered this final quarter. Students wishing for the opportunity to increase their grades should continue completing the work provided through our Google Classroom. Otherwise, all grades will remain the same as the third quarter.

End of Year Calendar: The governing board will be voting tonight on the end of year calendar. Either we will be finishing according to our current calendar or eliminating the snow make-up days next week and our final day of school will be May 22. Expect to hear news from FUSD this week. See the links below from Mrs. Reasor if you're interested in "joining" the meeting tonight.

Dear Families,

Happy Monday. I know that each family is going through something different right now, but whatever your situation, I hope you had a safe and comforting weekend.

New "classwork" is up for this week on Google Classroom, as well as some other opportunities on FUSD's learning HUB. In social studies, we'll keep going with the Oregon Trail Diary and learn a little bit about how Native people were impacted by the expansion of America in the 1800s. Next week, we'll be switching our focus to the Civil War. Students have the opportunity to review adding and subtracting fractions in math as well as several STEAM activities in science. In ELA there is a Nearpod review on figurative language in poetry and some first hand accounts of what The Trail of Tears was like for two different Native American families.

One of our families is hoping to organize some virtual/video hangouts with students in our class. For anyone interested, please email Kim Owens at okhensley@gmail.com. 

Best wishes for another healthy and successful week,
Ms. Fisher

P.S. Here are some "old" pictures from our ski trip, Lowell Observatory, and a science lab. Enjoy:-)

Google Classroom Reminder from 3/30:  "Students should be familiar with logging in from past school work: once they've navigated to Google Classroom, they log in with their FUSD email (their 600#@fusd1.org) and their full birthday as their password (ex: 03/23/2020). Please email me if you need help logging in."

Dear Families,

Thanks for stopping in this Monday. There's not much new information coming from FUSD at the moment. I hope you all were able to stay safe and comfortable this past weekend. My kids were able to hunt for some Easter eggs in our house yesterday, and then they ate way too much candy. We're already feeling a little cooped up after only one day of rain! I'm looking forward to some warm weather to make it a little easier to get outside without all of the bundling up!

Take a peek at Google Classroom this week. Along with new academic opportunities, there are daily challenges and chances for classmates to interact. Unfortunately, we were officially given notice that no video chatting is allowed in more than a one teacher to one student/family ratio. Please let me know if you would be interested in a face to face chat, or if your child would like a chat with me for emotional or academic support. I know this is disappointing to many of the kids. While I'm not allowed to run these video forums, many families I know are setting up these types of meeting for their own kids and friends.

Don't forget that students have continued access to all past weeks of Google Classroom activities as well as other grade level resources in FUSD's learning HUB. As I have mentioned and will continue to mention, don't hesitate to contact me for any kind of help or with
suggestions for our Google Classroom!

Best wishes for another healthy and successful week,

Dear Families,

Welcome to another week of remote learning. I hope you all are well and hanging in there. I'm so happy to have spent a weekend with my kids playing outside. We needed it!

New material is posted to our Google Classroom for this week, including some great art ideas from Ms. Hobson! Students are welcome to work at their own pace and simply pop in to have some chats with their classmates or say hello! All past weeks of work are available for students to work on, even if that week has already passed. Additionally, FUSD has added specific grade level resources to the learning HUB. If students would like work outside of our regular Google Classroom this is a great resource. Similar to our Google Classroom, this work is available to you for the needs specific to your family, but is not required. I'm on Classroom several times in the morning and several times in the afternoon to answer questions, or students may email me if they'd like more private help.
