Assignment Help

Parents we are so thankful for your amazing partnership as we navigate virtual learning together. We are looking forward to learning about your child's academic strengths and areas of growth this week as we dive into content-specific assignments. In order to do this, it is important that we have an authentic understanding of your child's abilities through their assignments. We would love for you to help your child understand assignment directions and answer simple questions your child may have during the day. We are asking that when they are working on their assignments for you to not intervene if they make a mistake. Mistakes are how we learn and seeing what your child is able to do independently is an important part of our roles as teachers. Thank you so much for all you are doing to partner with us this year. We could not do this without all of YOU!
