Inclement weather makes the roads slippery and not good for travel. Some days we will learn from home with a remote learning day. A remote learning day means that you will do your school work at home. Today is a remote learning day!

Today you will work on 3 MUST DO tasks - read, do math, and write. These are required for you.

Then, on the "CHOOSE 2" list below, you can pick 2 activities to complete. Write any written work on regular paper. Bring your completed work back to your teacher when you return to school.

Be sure to use the "WILD ROBOT" page below for your reference. You can listen to Mrs. Bumgarner read today's chapters, draw a robot, or watch videos.

Your teacher will contact your family via Remind or by phone call to check in and take attendance. She will contact your parents early in the day.

For you to be counted present for school, your family will need to respond to your teacher. Your family can reply to your teacher's message, send your teacher an email, talk by telephone, or send a message to your teacher to let her know that you are okay and know what to do for the remote learning day. Your parents should send this message early in the day by 10:00 if possible.

Your teacher will be available via Zoom at 9:00 am and 1:00 pm if you need help or want to check in. Zoom sessions are optional for students. You can join the zoom session using the link at the top of your teacher's page - which can be found on this week's Eagle Connection page. You need to scroll to the bottom to find your teacher's picture and page. Your teacher's Zoom link will be on the top of her page. If your teacher is out of school, you will not have a substitute and there will not be a zoom available.

Complete your work. Bring your work to your teacher when you come back to school.
