Mrs. Jagielski's Class Rocks Zoom!

Congratulations to Mrs. Jagielski's class for having 100% participation on Zoom for over a week!  They are doing a great job logging in and engaging with their peers virtually.  To celebrate their success, I thought I'd give them their very own BRAG BLOG for a few days. Wow, will you be impressed!!!

Jacob Rubin's 3 headed cat creation is certainly interesting!  (Or, did 3 cats climb up into the man's t-shirt?) I guess you'll have to ask Jacob!

 

Jasmine Olumegbun drew a picture of an amabie (a symbol of hope) for an art competition at her father's work. Isn't it beautiful?!

Marco likes working with his hands, so he put together this model kit (from a raffle prize basket he won a while ago). It represents the Pearl Tower in Shanghai. China.

Yummy!  Neda Bazys made these delicious macarons that are seriously making my mouth water. She says she needs a little more practice, but I totally disagree!

Tejas Katira is working his brain and body during distant learning.  When we have nice days, he makes sure he gets outside to get some exercise!

Tyson Gralewski's ride is pretty amazing.  He sure looks like an expert to me.

Listen to this amazing composition written by Maddyn Flores.  Wow, such talent! Thanks Maddyn!

Thanks again Mrs. Jagielski's class for your hard work and dedication to distant learning and engaging on Zoom!

Week 6 - Distant Learning

On March 13, when we students left for the day and found out that we would be closed for COVID19 safety requirements, I don't think too many of us predicted we'd still be home 6 weeks later.  This week, during Teacher Appreciation Week, we found ourselves still working remotely in the best ways we know-how.  

Thank you to the many teachers in our children's' lives. To their classroom teachers, thank you for the extra work you have put in to try to engage students in their new remote classroom. It's not easy to design lessons, record videos, video conferences, and teach when your students are so far from you.  Kudos to you all!

To our "at-home teachers," our parents. Thank you for supporting your children by filling in the gaps where the teachers can't due to the distance.  Since the day your children were born you have been their number one teacher.  We appreciate you more than you know.

During this time, it's more important than ever that we become partners in our children's learning.  Thank you again, to all of the teachers in our children's lives!

This week we also celebrated National Nurse's Day. Glenbrook has 2 amazing nurses, Mrs. Barb Rutkowski and Ms. Amy Janis.  These 2 ladies have always looked out for the best interest of our kiddos and continue to do so even now.  Thank you, ladies!  

A final thank you must go out to our awesome food service staff, led by Jetha Fuller.  Each of these ladies has spent the past 6-weeks feeding our students 3 meals and 1 snack per day.  Rain, snow, or shine, Ms. Monica, Ms. Karla, Ms. Isabella, Ms. Vita, and Mrs. Rutkowski, have handed out meals.  Thank you, ladies, for your service; you are superheroes!

                             

                                  

                              

Week 5 Distant Learning

It's hard to believe that we have been confined to our homes for 5 weeks, and that distant learning is becoming a regular part of our routines.  I only received a few pictures this week, however, I really enjoyed the ones sent to me. Some photos were of students' work and others were Principal Appreciation Day photos. I also pulled some more artwork from Mrs. Schmit's site. The students have worked so hard!   "At home teacher, don't forget to submit your photos to cherylderoo@u-46.org .
