Week 3

I hope you and your children all enjoyed the nice weather on Saturday before the rain came in. I actually liked the relaxation of a lazy rainy day on Sunday as well. 

I have updated the videos and sources on this page. If your child is looking for some enrichment ideas in addition to the choice board provided by the district have them take a look. 

This week I will be making my  Read Aloud videos from various Westford locations. "Where in Westford in Ms. Moores?" I will reveal my location at the end of each video. Just a fun way to pass the next couple of rainy cold days. Videos are posted on Google Classroom.

We will have our Monday Meeting on Zoom today at 1pm. Please refer to my morning email for login information.

As always, these ideas are not required just a way to keep everyone happy and busy during the school closure. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns I would love to see what your children have been working on and be able to give them feedback on whatever they are doing. They can share their work in their Friday letter on Google classroom or on the SeeSaw app.

Hi All,

I hope you all had a great weekend! It felt a little strange to have a weekend when every day feels a little weekendish now. I hope that you have all taken care of yourselves and found lots of time to connect with your children.

I really enjoyed our weekly wrap-up on Friday. The children that were able to make it really enjoyed themselves and it was a great way to connect. I have decided to hold a similar meeting, Monday March 23rd at 1pm. I hope that your child can join us today. The plan for now will be every Monday and Friday at 1pm. You will find the meeting invitation at the bottom of this page.

The district have released their enrichment boards. These boards are a great way to keep your child learning during this time. In addition I have updated the links and ideas on this page. The videos and ideas connect to current content in the classroom. Here is a summary of topics being addressed:
Science: What is Matter?
Social Studies: The articles of Confederation, Constitution, and Bill of Rights
Math: Multiplying mixed Numbers and Identifying triangles
Reading: What is theme?
Writing: Opinion writing

Here is the LINK to today's read aloud. 

As always please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Ms. Moores

Hi All,

I am sure that you are all still adjusting to the news that schools have been cancelled for the next two weeks. It is truly a new reality for all of us and I haven't quite wrapped my head around it myself. I wanted to start by letting you know that while we are not in session, I am still here and available for you and your children. Even though it is not exactly business as usual we can still continue to learn and grow together. 

Administration is working diligently to put together resources and enrichment for parents and students, more information in regards to this will be coming to you this week.This website is updated to reflect the most current curriculum. There are videos and links to applications that students are very familiar with. Feel free to visit and keep their brains active over the next several days. 

Report cards will still be available this Friday at 4pm. I am available through email if you have any questions or concerns after viewing your student's report. 

If you need anything please reach out. All questions will be addressed in a timely manner. Please let your children know that I miss them already. I will  be in contact again soon. 

Sincerely,
Ms. Moores
