“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. “
-Theodore Roosevelt
Dear Families, I am so excited to be your child’s second-grade teacher this year. It is definitely an interesting year none like we have ever experienced, but I know we'll make it through this together. Mapleton Elementary is a great school and I am so happy to be a part of your child’s school journey.
Schools PLP
● I will be providing info VERY soon on how to use SchoolsPLP. The platform is pretty straightforward so once you can get on and play with it MANY questions will be answered. Your log on information is included in the baggie that you are picking up in the drive-thru.
● You will use the SchoolsPLP platform to watch videos and can send and receive messages between teacher/student, but students WILL NOT be doing any PLP lessons this first week, you will only do the packets, videos and zooms the first week. These videos will be uploaded to the PLP program dashboard.
Expectations: Week 1 (August 31st- September 4th)
● The focus for your child's lessons and student (packet) activities this first week will be: getting to know you, social-emotional learning, and digital citizenship/online safety. This week is about getting to know your child, establishing relationships, setting expectations, and getting them ready for intentional distance learning.
● I am providing a packet of activities for your child this first week. You picked those up this week in the drive-thru.
-
I will record one lesson each day this week. These lessons will be uploaded into SchoolsPLP. They will explain the activity each day your child will complete in his/her packet.
-
I will also host a LIVE Zoom each day at 10:00 a.m. This will last approximately twenty minutes. We will share out the previous day activities during this time.

Student Expectations for the Week of September 8th and forward
I will use the SchoolsPLP as the platform of instruction while in distance learning. I will record an instructional video for each lesson in Math, ELA (English, Language Arts), Science and Social Studies. Once your child watches the instructional video they will then complete the assignments that correspond using SchoolsPLP. I will also hold a live ZOOM session for each subject area daily to offer help and answer questions as needed.
