 Dear Parents,

We have made it through our second week together Distance Learning style. Our class is doing a fantastic job adapting to 6th grade procedures, curriculum and assignments. I wanted to let you know that there are THREE things to pickup on Monday 8am - 6pm: 

  • Our Studies Weekly Newspaper Week 1-6 and our 

  • Science World Magazine and 

  • Science World Packet

For those of you who have not done so, please sign up for the iGrade book and share the login information with your child so that they can see how they are doing in class. I e-mailed all of you invitations. If you didn’t receive it, check your junk mail and then e-mail me back. If you still don’t have the invite, I will resend it to you.


Each week I will send out the Weekly Overview Plan at 9am to the Google Classrooms. To view the schedule, simply click on the Classwork tab, then click Resources, and find the schedule posted. The kids can share this with you because they are already adept at locating everything!


I encourage each of you to check the blog and check-in with your child to make sure that they are doing the Asynchronous work each day. As the year progresses, they will become truly independent. However, at the start of the year, some definitely need more check-ins.


To clarify, each day we have Synchronous Learning with the teacher from 9:00am-12:20pm. Next, lunch is 12:20-1pm. Finally, they should be working on their Asynchronous work from 1-3pm. During this time, I am available for chat and video conferencing through Google Hangouts with students that need extra support.


Our Virtual Back to School Night Zoom will be on Tuesday, September 15th at 6pm for 6th grade.


Let me know if you have any questions, or concerns.


All the best,
Mr. Sweet
