An update on 4/21
Parents, my "office hours" will be every Tuesday from 12:30-1:30 PM. I will check email throughout the day, but this is dedicated time I will be at my computer and available to answer questions. Also, I have a Zoom link if you would like to have an "instant meeting" face-to-face. Email me to set this up.
Thank you for supporting your child's education at home!
Ms. Verner
Parents and students,
I'm sure everyone has heard by now that schools will now be closed through the remainder of the academic year. I was very sad to hear this news but know that my students are enthusiastic, smart, and prepared to face the challenge!
At this time, Dr. Walts, Superintendent of PWCS, is encouraging everyone to take care of themselves and to keep reading. Don't worry about the academics, PWCS and the state are working on a plan to catch everyone up.
I have now posted information and links to help review concepts covered so far this school year (2019-2020). The 4th grade team has worked hard to provide you with optional resources and activities now that school is closed through the remainder of the year.
We will also be meeting each morning at 10 AM using Zoom. Check ClassTag for the website, and join with a phone, tablet, or laptop.
It is on the left side of this page under "Resources for Material Already Covered 2019-2020." The title of the file is "Pacing Updated 2020 with learning resources." Let me know if you have trouble accessing it.
If needed, Science files and activities are on Mrs. Kaplan's page.
Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding. Contact me via ClassTag or email with any questions or concerns.
--Ms. Verner
About Me
I have been teaching 4th grade at Signal Hill Elementary since the year 2000. I received my B.A. in Sociology and Elementary Education from The College of William and Mary, and my Master's in Education in Social Foundations of Education from the University of Virginia. I also recently obtained my ESOL Certification.
I am married and my husband and I enjoy our new and very active cat, Gus. Please contact me if you have questions or concerns about your child. Email is the best way to reach me (verneras@pwcs.edu). I am happy to help with ideas for things you can do at home to support and encourage your child. I am always willing to meet to discuss issues, concerns, or questions relating your child and his/her progress. I look forward to working together.
