Weekly Update 3/16

Hi KA families,

How are you all feeling after the first day of online school?  How is your child(ren) feeling?

I have to give you all a huge THANK YOU for logging in today- EVERY KA student was able to log attendance!  Hurray, what a great start!

I received many of your assignments already, great job!  Remember you can upload a photo or scan into the google classroom to turn it in, or you can email it to me too.  (*If you upload through google classroom, make sure that file(s) attach.  There were a couple of people who submitted “empty” assignments accidentally.  I have emailed you if that was the case and you will need to re-send).  If you haven’t submitted today’s assignments yet, please do so by midnight tonight.

Each day, after logging attendance, please watch the MORNING MEETING video first, for prayer and announcements.  Then watch the NEXT video to hear instructions for written work and other activities for the day.  Please note that some of the papers have specific instructions that are detailed in the video.  Each day I will also include some supplemental links such as online activities, videos, games, or practice.

Some of you have asked about the monthly homework calendar for March.  Please continue to work on this as you would normally (calendar activities and reading log).  I will ask you to submit the homework at the end of the month.

I’d love to keep a social and emotional link among our class as much as possible!  If your child has news to share (lost tooth, etc.), a special prayer intention, etc. please let me know and I will include it in the morning meeting.  I’d love to hear about family activities you are doing as well- backyard games, cooking together, science experiments, etc!  We can share ideas and pictures for the class!

I welcome any feedback or input you may have.  This is new to all of us, and I am learning right along with you.  Of course if you run into any problems, or have questions, please let me know!  I am here to help you and support you and your family. 

Take care, stay well, and God bless,

Mrs. Katie White
