Distance Learning Instructional Packet

Third Grade

March 19, 2020

Dear East Central ISD Families,

While our school district is closed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students, staff, and community, we are providing you with some materials to engage students in learning from home. All students will have choice boards that include activities to reinforce learning. Student choice boards will be posted on the ECISD website under the Our Families link which is located off of the main page of www.ecisd.net. ​ ​ Our staff has created two options for your child to access learning at home. The first option is Google Classroom. Your child’s teacher will be reaching out to you/your child to share how they will access Google Classroom. The second option is a version of the same material just in a paper format. We will begin with learning activities that will reinforce previously learned content. Students can submit their completed work online through Google Classroom or they can keep evidence of their work in a notebook (spiral, composition) or on paper. Evidence can be presented in many ways to include things like pictures/videos, notebook entries and/or more traditional written responses. Students who utilize the paper format can bring evidence of their work once we return to school. During this time, our gradebook will be frozen. This means students will not receive any new grades for learning that occurs while we are out. Teachers will communicate with students/families regularly to provide feedback and assist with student learning. Once students return, teachers will evaluate student work and make adjustments to grades that represent student learning that occurred during this period of time. We appreciate your patience and look forward to working together in an effort to best support you and your family. We miss all of our students and look forward to seeing them again once school resumes.

ECISD Choice Board for 3rd Grade 19 de marzo de 2020

Estimadas familias de East Central ISD:

Mientras nuestro distrito escolar está cerrado para asegurar la seguridad y el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes, el personal y la comunidad, les estamos proporcionando algunos materiales para que los estudiantes aprendan desde su hogar. Todos los estudiantes tendrán acceso a una plataforma de aprendizaje en línea (choice boards) que incluye actividades para reforzar el aprendizaje. La plataforma se publicará en el sitio ​ ​ web de ECISD en el enlace Nuestras familias que se encuentra en la página principal de www.ecisd.net. Nuestro personal ha creado dos opciones para que su hijo/a tenga acceso al aprendizaje en casa. La primera opción es Google Classroom. El maestro de su hijo/a se comunicará con usted / su hijo/a para compartir cómo accederán a Google Classroom. La segunda opción es una versión del mismo material solo en formato papel. Comenzaremos con actividades de aprendizaje que reforzarán el contenido ya aprendido. Los estudiantes pueden enviar su trabajo completado en línea a través de Google Classroom o pueden guardar evidencia de su trabajo en un cuaderno (espiral, composición) o en papel. La evidencia se puede presentar de muchas maneras para incluir cosas como imágenes / videos, entradas de cuaderno y / o respuestas escritas más tradicionales. Los estudiantes que utilizan el formato de papel pueden traer evidencia de su trabajo una vez que regresemos a la escuela.

Durante este tiempo, nuestro sistema de calificaciones estará suspendido. Esto significa que los estudiantes no recibirán nuevas calificaciones por el aprendizaje que ocurra mientras estamos fuera de la escuela. Los maestros se comunicarán con los estudiantes / familias regularmente para proporcionar comentarios y ayudar con el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Una vez que los estudiantes regresen, los maestros evaluarán el trabajo de los estudiantes y harán ajustes a las calificaciones que representan el aprendizaje de los estudiantes que ocurrió durante este período de tiempo.

Agradecemos su paciencia y trabajaremos juntos en el mejor esfuerzo para apoyar a usted y a su familia. Extrañamos a todos nuestros estudiantes y esperamos a verlos cuando regresemos a la escuela.
