August 2020Dear Families,Welcome to the 2020-2021 school year, and to fifth grade!? Your child’s fourth grade experience was different than any other year, and the start of fifth grade will be like none other before.? Just know that I will be here for you and your child. We are all in this together!Since you are reading this, you have found your way to my classroom homepage. On this site, you will find information about the Summer Reading Program, Summer Math Packet, school supply list, daily schedule, and various links to educational websites. Throughout the year, I will update the webpage, but our main resource during remote learning will be Google Classroom.????Every day, your child will be online from 8:06 am until 12:06 pm, then again from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm. We will start each day with a Morning Meeting to check in with each other and to discuss positive affirmations for the day. Throughout the day, your child will receive instruction in Math, ELA, Health, Social Studies, and one special.? Our specials schedule has changed this year and will be running on trimesters.? For the first trimester, students will participate in Physical Education and Media Center specials. Please see our schedule posted on this webpage.?There is also a period set aside called, “WIN”, which stands for “What I Need”. This period is set aside for your child to receive what they need. It will be different every day and for every child. It could be extra help with me, or another staff member, depending on student needs. For instance, if your child is an English Language Learner, they might meet with Mrs. Berecsky, our ESL teacher. If your child receives Speech, this time might be used to meet with a Speech teacher.? I will keep you appraised as the year progresses.I cordially invite all parents to attend our first day of school on Thursday, September 3, at 8:06 am. ?I plan to introduce students to what remote learning will look like this year as there are some changes from the spring. I will be going over my expectations, our schedule, supplies needed, as well as using the time for students and parents to ask questions they may have. Remember, we are all in this together!??Before the first day of school, I will send an email with Google Classroom join codes.? Please have your child log in to their school Google account and join each one of the classes.? Our Google Meet virtual meeting on the first day will be posted on the Google Classroom for Homeroom.??If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at Maura.Towne@Monroe.k12.nj.usWe are about to embark on an amazing year, so buckle up and enjoy the ride!? Relish the rest of your summer.Sincerely,Mrs. Maura Towne ................
