Choice Board Packet: Kindergarten – 2nd GradeHello Carver Families,Distance Learning during the time we are away from school is being created by our teachers on a weekly basis. Even though we aren’t at the physical Carver building, learning is still continuing. If you are receiving a packet through the mail, you have indicated that these boards are needed rather than using technology at home. For grades K-2, teachers are using Class Dojo and grades 3-5 are using Schoology. Both platforms can be accessed using a Smart Phone, Laptop/Desktop computer or an iPad/Tablet/Kindle. If you have one of these types of devices and would rather use those to turn in assignments, please contact Carver’s front office (719-328-7110 or 719-328-7111) to be removed from receiving mailed packets and visit Carver’s website (carver) on directions of how to access Class Dojo and Schoology. Only one packet in each grade level cluster (K-2 and 3-5) will be mailed to you if you have more than one child in a grade level cluster. Please be sure students are completing the work in this packet on notebook paper to turn in upon returning to school. Contact your child’s teacher or the front office for questions or concerns.
