Hello 4th grade families! Welcome to our distant learning home base. Homeroom change this week- We will gather after the whole school alma mater sing. It's not mandatory you attend but if you can I would love to see you. It's an opportunity for us to share announcements and be silly!
What is Process vs. Product?
Process is an assignment that provides practice to best help you child understand the product. The product is an assignment completed independently by your child. I will check the product for understanding and provide feedback. The product can be returned to me by snapping a picture or scanning it and sending it via email or text. All products are in red and should be turned as the work is completed that week.
DynaMath answer key (The answer key is for parents eyes only!)
What is significant about the words in purple? Anything in purple is a link to something else. It could be a video, worksheet, or photo of an example piece of work.
Below are office hours that I will be available via text, FaceTime, or Zoom. My phone number is 804-517-2255. You can reach me outside of office hours too.
Zoom Homeroom: Mondays @10:00
Zoom Office Hours: Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays @10:00 - Quick check-in to ask questions about assignments or say hi!
