Google Classroom
3rd Grade will be using Google Classroom as their main learning platform. We are trying our hardest to make this a one stop shop and streamline everything through it. We will be using other websites and resources throughout the year such as Khan Academy, CommonLit.org, Readworks.org, Accelerated Reader, and Newsela.com. However these sites should be easy to log into and links will be posted here and on Google Classroom. However, as Google Classroom takes some time to get used to we will roll these out slowly so as not to overwhelm the students or the parents of course.
To log into to Google Classroom please go to:
google.cps.edu
*In case there are technical difficulties getting into Google Classroom this week, students can click the meet link below to join. The meet link will only work once I have started the meeting.
meet.google.com/lookup/aw2shyvojj
Your child's username is their CPS email address WITHOUT @cps.edu. Once they are in their email they can click on the waffle (dot square) in the top right hand corner to access Google Classroom. We will spend a lot of time up front getting the students trained and used to using this platform. If your child does not know their password please email me ASAP and I will reset it.
Over the weekend please have your child practice logging it so they are ready for Tuesday!

A Few More Things:
I know this is a very different start to the year, but it is going to a great! I am so excited to be teaching this class! I cannot wait to get to know all of my students.
This first couple weeks we will spend a lot of time getting used to Google Classroom and remote learning with a new class and teacher. We will have plenty of stretch breaks and also do fun things together to get our brains reset throughout the day! Please feel free to have a morning and afternoon snack ready for your child. They will need the energy!
This website is updated usually every Monday and as we move through the year will not be as detailed, but since this is the first week a new year and we are learning remotely, I wanted to provide as much information as possible! Please feel free to reach out with ANY questions ANY time. Let's all work together to make this the best year yet!
