Friday Update 5/15/2020

Friday, May 15, 2020
Happy Friday! Hopefully, you have or will be enjoying the wonderful weather we're having. We had a good week of distance learning; I hope by now you are all feeling comfortable with the work and routine of it all.

The only big update I have for you is in regards to CogAT scores. Cognitive Ability Test (CogAT) scores for second grade students will be available on ParentVUE starting today, May 15th. To help you understand how the CogAT scores are used as part of the gifted eligibility process, please read the CogAT Frequently Asked Questions document. If you have additional questions about these scores, you may email Mrs. Ciardiello, our SEARCH specialist, at julie.ciardiello@lcps.org. Please read the FAQ document above, BEFORE emailing Mrs. Ciardiello.
Quick Reminders for Friday, May 15th
  • IMPORTANT: Google Meet Prep!
    • Please print this life cycles sort for your child to fill out during the Meet. DO NOT fill this out with your child prior. We will be doing it as a class. Thank you!
      • If your printer is not working or you would prefer a digital copy, please send me an email and I'll post a digital copy to your child's Seesaw journal.
        • Please keep in mind that I will be expecting them to fill it out during the Meet. However, I will post the final copy to Seesaw for all to view as well.
  • The biggest points are that students WATCH the lessons on the hyperdocs and READ the directions of the activities.
  • Hyperdoc for 5/18 - 5/22 will be posted on Monday, May 18th at 8AM.
    • All hyperdocs are available on:
      • the blog
      • Seesaw (Inbox -> Messages)
      • Google Classroom
Remember to be kind to yourself and breathe! I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and safe.

Have a wonderful weekend,
