PACKET CONFUSION

Hi everyone!

A few parents have reached out to me with confusion surrounding the Learning Packets for Diverse Learners. 

These packets should still be available for pick-up in the office. 
However, some parents were given the wrong packets. 
Please double check with the office that they are packets for Miss McCabe!

Attached to the packets were supposed to be a note from me. It seems that these weren't attached, uh-oh!  That's okay, we will get it right next time! :) 

New packets will be available in the coming weeks - I will send a REMIND text when they are available for pick-up. 

Here is the note from me explaining the packets and at-home learning : 

Dear families, 

Welcome to the At Home Learning Packet!
This packet includes 3 weeks of work from home assignments. Each daily assignment consists of 5 pages of math, reading, sight words and more! Please plan to work for about 60-90 minutes or 1.5 hours a day. 
This packet is designed to serve as a review and extra practice. However, please monitor your child as they complete the assignments and help your child review any pages that they find challenging. 

OTHER IDEAS TO EXTEND LEARNING THROUGHOUT THE DAY: 

• Name a letter, number, or sight word; then have your child find it on mail, magazines, or packaging around the house.
  
• Have your child write notes, letters, or signs. Encourage them to sound out words instead of asking them how it is spelled. 
  
• Choose a sound. Have your child find something in the room that starts with this sound. For an extra challenge, have them find something that ends with that sounds instead!
  
• Encourage mathematical thinking with questions like, “If I give you 4 more crackers, how many will you have now?”
  
• Encourage your child to make predictions and then see what happened. Ask, “What do you think will happen if we ________?” then ask, “What actually happened? Was it the same or different from your prediction?: 
  

If you are able, please continue to check my webpage for videos and lessons. There you will find videos of me teaching as well as social emotional learning lessons. http://patrickhenryes.cps.edu/room-117-ms-mccabe
