There will be two Google Meet Sessions a day:
Students can now join the Daily Google Meets at the assigned time by clicking the Meet link that will appear in the Stream Section of Google Classroom. These will be daily meetings that students are encouraged to attend.
Google Meet session (9:00-9:45 am): Instruction will occur during the first part of this time, but I will remain available for the whole 45 minutes, in the Google Meet session, to provide constructive feedback, provide extra support, and answer questions. (Morning Meeting, Math)
Google Meet session (12:15-1:00 pm): Instruction will occur during the first part of this time, but I will remain available for the whole 45 minutes, in the Google Meet session, to provide constructive feedback and answer questions. (Language Arts, Social Studies, Science)

Language Arts:
The Secret Garden Timeline, Assignments, and Activities
- Students will be working on developing a theme for the Secret Garden. Students will practice finding theme in picture books and apply their learning to the novel.
- Friday: The Secret Garden Test Part 1
- Students will continue to learn one type of poem a week.
- Students will practice reading and interpreting poetry. Students will be using CommonLit.org. Common Lit allows students to participate in close reading activities as they read, answer guided questions to support understanding, answer comprehension and deeper thinking questions. We used it last week together and I think it is a stronger tool than Readworks. This will be assigned through Google Classroom. Students can follow the link and click "Log In With Google".
Informational:
We will be focusing on reading poetry. We will be using Science this week for Informational Skills.
www.readworks.org/
Math:
In order to simplify, Math lessons by day of the week will posted on the Website and all assignment details will posted on Google Classroom. The order and structure of a daily lesson will be:
- Complete the Solve and Share (assigned through Google Classroom)
- Attend Morning Google Meet Session: 9:00-9:45

Social Studies:
The Southwest Region study will continue next week!
Science:
Students will focus on learning about Mercury this week in our Solar System study.
Enrichments:
Coonley has taken into consideration how difficult it is for
students and families to juggle all of the various classes and assignments. All Coonley
students will have the opportunity to participate in the enrichment opportunities that will
be blasted out weekly (in the same manner as previous weeks). To ease this added
responsibility we ask students to focus on participating in 2 "focus" enrichments per
week. Other enrichments will still provide weekly activities for engagement. This week
Music and Art will be our focus. If students participate they will all
receive a "pass" for the 4th quarter and then their final grade will be an average of the
1-3 quarter grades.

Newsela: Due to all the changes this week I am exploring other options for e-learning and teaching opportunities. Newsela.com is a site used throughout Coonley to bring students news articles covering all content areas at differentiated reading levels. They are allowing teachers during this time to use their pro versions which offers online assignments. I have created a class. Please go to the link below:
newsela.com/quickjoin/#/KA8ZX9
And enter the class code below to join:

Google Classroom: Google Classroom is another tool I have set up to assign work, and help students along the way. This is great resource in these times. However, I am still exploring how this works too. I have invited all the students to join so I can begin trying it as well.
I will let everyone know when there are assignments posted when there are Google Classroom and/or Newsela when I learn about the best practices for using them.
My email is kjsullivan3@cps.edu.
My personal cell phone is 773-580-5661.
Please feel free to email or text me directly with any questions or concerns. I will work on keeping this web site as up to date as possible. Take care of yourselves and wonderful children. STAY HEALTHY AND HAPPY EVERYONE!
