Here are two podcasts that I have heard that have helped me during the uncertainties of the times we're in. https://robbell.podbean.com/e/grounding-1584635259/ As parents, you may like how the married couple has a 10-year-old who they have not allowed much

10:00 a.m. today, we are trying the Zoom meeting. We muddled through yesterday, so we will see how Zoom goes today.  Today's Padlet is all about TGIF All of our CNN10's The CNN10's are for staying in the loop on what is happening. Questions about Epic Books Every mom received an email from technically "Epic Books," but it says I invited your child. It takes less than a minute.

This email is my stab at this... You received this via email yesterday: Teachers are, to the best of their ability, pushing out enhanced learning opportunities for students today and tomorrow.  All enhanced learning opportunities provided to students will not be graded. We have not received much more guidance than that. So if you want your child to work on the paper-packet,

Hello everyone. So we are down to our final 1.5 months of the school year. A few things: 1. The 50 states and capitals exams were originally going to be given out on 4/11, 4/18, 4/25 and 5/2; We are going to start that up on 4/18. So there will be an exam on 4/18, 4/25, 5/2 and 5/9; Here is a link with all of the study materials needed to dominate the tests: https://

As you know, students will be heading off to  @ Camp Arroyo in Livermore within the next month. Technically, we leave a month from TODAY. We have a few "next" steps in the process. 1st STEP-- Student Survey I explained this entire process to my class and Mr. Newell's class on Friday.

I apologize for the long delay in communicating. I came down with the double whammy of strep-throat and a worse than normal ear-infection. I still get ear-infections on a regular basis, and this one is a doozy. Then being sick, not being 100% and the Dublin teachers "working to contract" -- it has made for some fast days of plugging holes in the boat. What has been going on? JAWS-A-THON 1.

Circle Time: We had a special circle time where we could get to know our student teacher, Ms. Quon. We also spent time sharing out how everyone tried to address the record heat days on Friday afternoon and Saturday.  Brainpop Update  Quickly, all the students who couldn't log in had their passwords reset to a common password. So everyone should be able to sign in and use Brainpop. They

Brainpop -- the saga continues  Brainpop congratulated me on discovering a bug in their software. Currently, teachers are unable to change passwords of their students. Our situations are further complicated because teachers are never shown their student's passwords. So we have cases where students can't log in because they don't remember their password and I can't change it right now.

Brainpop Drama  Please let me know if your child is having problems signing into Brain Pop at home, as I see issues on my end when resetting students passwords. Also, some students can't sign in even after Brainpop themselves emailed me that they corrected it. I'll be calling New York tomorrow morning while they have P.E. to get to the bottom of it.

Let's catch up on the last two days... Eclipse Day At first, I thought the big guy upstairs was trolling us and we were going to have clouds cover the sky during the eclipse. Then around 9:50'ish the clouds cleared off and we could observe the eclipse. We looked at 10'ish, 10:15 (when it was 75% covered), 10:40 and then 11:15 when it was pretty much the regular sun again.

Solar Eclipse  The famous solar eclipse will be this Monday morning. We were lucky to have the Joshi family donate glasses which ensures that everyone in our class can safely observe this historic event. Because we live in 2017 and everything and everyone can be sued, it does entail that I share with you an informational legal document. You ONLY return it if you would like your child to
