It was good to be back into the routine today.
I need to apologize. I have students' report cards sitting on my desk completely ready to go home and I dismissed them before getting them passed out.
I will send them home tomorrow. As always, you can view their grades on the Parent Portal. I will be reposting grades Wednesday for anyone who finishes up missing assignments that hurting their grade.
I hope to see everyone all week long.

Update & Learning Ideas
This may be the longest Christmas/Winter break ever. My children have counted that by Tuesday we will have been out of school for 27 days. I know that students and parents are feeling a little anxious. It's one of those things we simply can't control.
ASSIGNMENTS
I have posted an assignment in each class that students can work on before Tuesday. If anything is difficult or confusing, students may ask questions in Google Classroom or be assured I will help them through it as soon as we return to school. Please don't stress if something doesn't make sense. Simply taking some time to go through the items will give everyone a head start when we return to school.
I am checking my email daily and appreciate how supportive you parents are.
GRADES
If your child has received a C- or below in any class, students are welcome to make up that missing work by Tuesday to try to remedy that. After Tuesday, all grades are final and I am unable to change them.
EXTRA PRACTICE
Language Arts:
Some wise activities that will help students are to keep a journal of daily events. It might be interesting for students to record their activities and feelings through all these snow days. Students can continue to practice their good writing and their cursive during this long break.
Math:
Students can also continue to work on Xtra Math to help with those math facts and any IXL practice on skills they know they need to practice.
Science:
We will be having a Science test on the Lithosphere when we return, but shortly after that test we will begin our unit on Weather. Students can help get ready for the unit by watching weather reports and making observations and asking questions. This is an exciting time to watch the weather.

Message from Mr. Keefe
Vision Family,
The family/personal circumstances that lead to me being away from the classroom have not been resolved at this point and unfortunately more time is needed away from the classroom. Though I do not know how long I will continue to be away, please know that I miss being in the classroom, the students, and the staff. I appreciate your support through this very difficult time. Thank you for your understanding,
-Tyler Keefe

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We all had a busy December trying to finish the semester, dodging the snow and enjoying the season. I am going to enjoy my family over break and I hope you all do the same.
In the chaos that made up the last few days of school, some students may not have finished assignments or completed missing ones. I will wait to post grades until after January 1st. Please let me know if an assignment that was incomplete gets finished so I am sure to update it. I don't want anyone getting a grade that is lower than it should be.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
