WEEK AT HOME #1 March 16-20



March 16

Dear 6th Graders and Parents of Room 20,


Rio del Mar Elementary  is moving to remote based learning from March 16 - March 27th. Below is a link that the district has provided for families to use at home. I encourage all families to set up a weekly schedule to ensure for adequate learning time. The best/productive time for our 6th graders is in the mornings from 8-10 then snack and some exercise time outside if possible.  Throw in a silent reading time from 10:45 for an hour and then work on some more of the assigned sets. Please always make sure there is exercise daily and time to play outdoors weather permitting.

Our classroom Chromebooks will be made available to you if you need it to keep up with our online learning.
Your family will need to provide the WiFi at home and a printer for assignments (if required). There are already Google Classroom assignments posted. 



Here is a link from the district to get started on at home learning:

Keep learning, loving and laughing! Oh, and wash your hands.

WEEK OF JANUARY 14-17th

CLASS UPDATE

Welcome back! I hope everybody enjoyed that extended winter break. A huge thanks goes out to all the parents and students for their thoughtful holiday gifts! My family went to the San Jose Sharks to see them play the Columbus Blue Jacket. They won, which made it even better. My wife and I  enjoyed a getaway to Carmel, as well. Thank you so much for the gift card to Amazon! I was able to buy a new golf bag and some tennis shoes. 
During the break I enjoyed re-reading a book East of Eden that kept me up late at night. Finally, I golfed with Mr. Kyle and played tennis with my family and Mr. McMillan.  I was excited to see "The Rise of Skywalker" with my son during the break.
Enough about me! It's time to get back to learning.
