Distance Learning Day 1

Monday, March 30, 2020, 5:10pm HST.

Greetings Students!

My sincere apologies for getting my "suggested distance learning schedule" up so LATE!
If you don't get to do the specific lessons I post on this blog, or email to your parents,
don't worry....just continue to do the BASIC enrichment learning:

1.  iReady (reading and math)
2.  IXL (math concepts) *optional to do other 2nd grade items listed on IXL
3.  KidBizz3000 (1 lesson per session)
4.  Reading (use Capstone or PebbleGo)


Be sure to set a Kindness goal for the week.
I know a few of you may NOT have your kindness project file folder.  That's fine.  Simply use a piece of folder paper, printer paper, or a composition book, to jot down a kindness goal you will work on this week.  If you need suggestions, ask me, or ask your parents!  Then on Friday, you will reflect on your goal.  I will have the reflection questions posted for you to reflect on.

Have a great evening and sleep well!
See you tomorrow! (virtually)😉
Aloha

We're All In This Together...

Aloha Everyone!
It's been a while (2 years) since I've used this link.
I am grateful that this is one way I can reconnect with my Room 8 `Ohana, as well as my former students and their `Ohana.

Getting adjusted to the NEW Normal is going to take some time, but if we stay calm, focused, and responsible, we can get through this and move forward with new perspectives.

Please continue to check your personal email on a daily basis, as I will update you with incoming news from either my principal (Mrs. Watanabe), the D.O.E.,  and/or my Union, HSTA. 

As of now, the latest update about public schools is the closure lasting till April 30th.  This may be the date stated today, but it may change, so keep updated via trusted social media sites, press conferences, news, and/or email.

This classroom blog will specifically be used for student assignments and links.  If parents have questions regarding assignments or school, please continue to contact me via the school email address:  alena.wong@k12.hi.us

I will notify students and parents via email if there is a new assignment on the classroom blog.
Till then, take care and much Aloha to all of you!
Mahalo,
Mrs. Wong
Smiles to last a lifetime! 
If you can BE anything...choose to BE Kind.
