Update 3/17/2020

Hello Everyone!

I highly suggest bookmarking this email, as it contains a variety of important information that will help your child be successful as we take on at-home learning over the next few weeks. I will try to organize this the best that I can, but please let me know if you have any questions! Daily work assignment emails will begin on March 29th for assignments beginning March 30th.

  • District Packets: It is required to complete assigned pages each day. The assigned pages will be in my daily email. Each "day" is actually 2 days worth of work. For example, Day 1 should be completed on March 30th and 31st (Day 1 and 2). Please DO NOT work ahead in these packets, as they count for days of learning. I may also provide daily games and/or videos that match each lesson, so you will need to be on the correct day. These WILL be returned.
  • Miss Lister Packets: There are 3 extra items I included in students' folders. These items are optional, yet I highly encouraged that you complete them. Students can complete these pages at any pace. These should be returned in any state of completion!
  • Office Hours: Beginning March 30th. I will be available by Remind app and email. 
    • I can assure a quick response if you contact me between 10am-12pm. If contacted outside of these hours, I will respond as quickly as possible, but cannot guarantee an immediate response. I will also be emailing or messaging over Remind every few days to check in! 
    • In addition, please feel free to share pictures of your child work, videos of them having fun, or any other things with me during this closure! I want to stay connected and in touch with your family and your student!​
  • Work Expectations: Students are expected to begin packet/school work on March 30th. 
    • You will receive a daily email from me with expectations from the district work packets (ELA, math, and science). Other work inside the folder (daily journal, health packet, and Miss Lister's reading packet) are all extra work options. In addition, I have MANY digital copies of extra math/ELA work, if you feel you do not have enough things to do!
      • These emails will begin the evening of March 29th.
    • It is expected students get free time throughout the day as well! I'd love to see your child spending time outside, playing board games, doing chores, making family memories, cooking with you, enjoying some quiet time, or working on social skills (how to be kind, using manners, or helping others) during this time at home. ​Make this a fun and memorable time.
    • Please check over your child's work each day. Discuss any errors or areas of improvement. Have your child make corrections if necessary.
  • Twitter: Follow along with my Twitter account! I will be sharing resources I find throughout the time we are closed. You can find my account herehttps://twitter.com/msklister
  • Blog: http://teamlisterbeu.blogspot.com/
    • This blog will be updated with the copy of daily emails. I will send the blog link through Remind each day for parents who do not have access to email. It will be a copy of the email, so if you read the message over email, you do not need to access the blog.
  • Websites/Apps: Below are some educational learning apps, along with access codes, etc! These can be a part of your day, or an option for break times in between paper/pencil learning. Use them as you see fit!
    • ABC Mouse (website or app): abcmouse.com​  OR abcmouse.com/redeem (initally)

      • Logins are attached to this email. If your child is not on the list, they already know their login and have it memorized.
