Welcome to Week 2 of Distance Learning!!!

 Hello Second Grade Families,

Welcome to the second week of our distance learning lessons.  Please know that the Second Grade Interactive Classroom has been updated for your children.  The same images will remain, but every link has been updated accordingly for this week's learning.   I would highly encourage you to print off the slides for this week, as they can serve as a schedule for your children each day.  Thank you in advance for all of your patience and support as we navigate this learning model together.  Also, I know there were some computer glitches with Brain Pop Jr. and Tumble Books last week.  Below, I am providing information you may need just in case either of those links get overloaded and will not work for you.  However, please do not have your children navigate through all that Brain Pop Jr. has to offer, as we will be utilizing specific videos that correspond with the proper content being taught.

The Tumble Books Library is through the Phoenix Public Library and it's absolutely FREE! 

Simply follow the following steps if the link doesn't work for your child:

  1. Go to the Phoenix Public Library online https://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org
  2. Then look at the top of the page and click on "Kids"
  3. Scroll down and look for the "Tumble Books" Library and click it!
  4. Your children may now select a Tumble Book that will read to them by clicking on Play Video!
Last of all, this week we will begin our optional small group learning on site in the second grade classroom.  Every student has been assigned a specific day and we will be working from noon to two o'clock.  The focus will be on practicing our writing skills this week.  The students will also have time to be assigned a specific desk, create their very own name tag and play a fun "Kindness Bingo" game with me.  Our numbers will not exceed more than 8 or 9 and all desks will be sanitized before and after our learning sessions.

Please continue reading to discover all that will be transpiring in our second grade learning this week!
