There are still a few spots left for meeting this week! See what works for you and fill in the time or let me know so I can put you in the lineup!
Monday's meetings were really good and everyone showed on time! I appreciate the alliance I feel a part of in helping to create an accountable and productive learning environment for our students!
Thanks to everyone for being on time and taking a quick peek to see if the meet is ready. If not, please hang up and give us one minute to close our deal.
Looking forward to seeing you soon,
Mr. Kyle

Above pic is the schedule so far for Google Parent Teacher Conferences Meets! Please find the route to this link in the email sent to you. Once there, open with Google Sheets and add your name to the time that works for you! Please get any needed IT help from your student! Thanks and I look forward to meeting with each of you next week!
I have sent out some emails to students and bcc'd some parents as well to make sure late assignments could still receive credit. Check in with your student and see if there is anything that they need to take care of as the trimester has ended and report cards are being filled in as you read this.
Hope this week will have better weather and sunny days!
Learning to breathe!

Today the class and I worked on closing out the assignments that we have been doing this past trimester!
We went into our Google Class and checked each assignment in each subject. Most students have been consistent with keeping up with this and check off that the work is completed and attached. There are still others that need to do this asap in order to save their grades for T1. One thing that was a smash hit was having the students team up and check with each other and answer each others questions.
We completed our Small Moment narrative write last week and today students made copies and submitted their writing to Google Classroom. Some of our students will need to wrap up their write with the big thing that happens and or the take away, what they learned. Please ask your 6th grader how their paper turned out and if they will share it with you. Many of the small moments involve you, the parents, and they are great adventures that y'all have created!
Please check your email for invites to iGrades Plus and also the sign in for parent teacher conference times.
There is a snag when the doc opens for you to edit, and it needs to be opened in Google Sheets. Let me know if it does not behave for you and I can write you in for your preferred Meet time!
Looking forward to talking with everyone and making the second trimester a great one!
Thanks for all your help with our students so far this year! I appreciate all your work!
Mr. Kyle

Hope y'all had a great weekend and got some rest! I was able to catch up on some of my surfing and hiking habits! I even took a nap Sunday!
Thanks for taking a second to read this and keep up with room 18 and our students.
Please remember, that everything students are working on or need to know is now in their Google Classroom. Please help show them how to navigate through Classwork and check which assignments they still need to work on.
AR Accelerated Reader has been an issue with our class and I am finding that many of my students did not frequently tap in to it much to gain some of the value it offers. So, I have put together some instructions here for helping your student get logged in and reading!
Students need to go through the RDM https://www.riodelmar.pvusd.net/ portal. Follow the link on the student's page https://www.riodelmar.pvusd.net/students to the orange icon for Renaissance Learning https://global-zone53.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/283532 then log in as a student. Now book mark it!
Hope this helps!
All the best,
Mr. Kyle

Please visit the MRP Monday between 8-6 and pick up any papers from last week, graded paper, or extras from our box. Please only grab your students papers by their name and be careful not to disturb the piles so they do not get mixed up.
There are no new handouts this week as per MAP testing, however, there are graded papers to pick up and things that the students need to turn in to help me update our grade book. Asia Maps should be complete and put in the box so they can be laminated and returned Monday afternoon!
I have sent out email invites to students and parents whose emails you shared from the iGradePlus app.
Please follow the directions and set up your own password and help your 6th grader stay on top of their assignments. Remember: Incomplete assignments need to be finished and turned in right away. If there are issues with the grades, please allow students to advocate for themselves. This is part of their learning to take ownership of their performance and gain further self confidence.
If you did not receive an iGrade invite and would like access, simply send me a quick email and I will get cha goin'!
Learning to take deep breathes, when the air is clear anyways!
