“What We Do Here Shapes the World”

At Home Instruction Elementary 4th Grade

Week 1 (March 30 – April 3)

Week 2 (April 6 - 10)

Dear Falcon Family,

During this trying time, we have prepared to support distance learning for all of our Los Fresnos CISD students. Our teachers have created packets to keep our students engaged and learning. These packets can be accessed on our district website (www.lfcisd.net) and printed at home, picked up at your campuses (March 27), or dropped off at bus stops (March 30) with student meals. We are asking that these assignments be completed by April 10th. Teachers will check for completion by email or Class Dojo.

In an effort to support continued learning, we will also have:

● Free Wi-Fi available from the parking lot of each campus ● Accelerated Reader available for at home quizzes

While we miss our students dearly, we hope these learning experiences support the progress of each student toward the grade level’s academic goals. We appreciate your continued support and understanding during this time.

Querida familia Falcon, Durante este tiempo difícil, nos hemos preparado para apoyar el aprendizaje a distancia para todos nuestros estudiantes en Los Fresnos CISD. Nuestros profesores han creado paquetes para mantener a nuestros estudiantes comprometidos y aprendiendo. Estos paquetes se pueden acceder en nuestro sitio web del distrito (www.lfcisd.net) e imprimirse en casa, recogerlos en sus escuelas (27 de marzo) o recogerlos en las paradas del autobús (30 de marzo) cuando se entreguen las comidas a los estudiantes. Pedimos que estas actividades se completen antes del 10 de abril. Los profesores comprobarán la finalización por correo electrónico o usando el sistema DOJO.

En un esfuerzo por apoyar el aprendizaje continuo, también tendremos:

● Wi-Fi gratuito disponible en el estacionamiento de cada campus ● Lector acelerado disponible para tomar exámenes en casa (AR)

Aunque extrañamos mucho a nuestros estudiantes, esperamos que estas experiencias de aprendizaje apoyen el progreso de cada estudiante hacia las metas académicas. Agradecemos su continuo apoyo y comprensión durante este tiempo.
