Manatee Virtual School Edition – Week 5
 
Hello Parents,
Four weeks of Manatee Virtual School under our belts…half way home!    

1. Grades will continue to be updated every Wednesday and Sunday on FOCUS.
2. Interims will post on May 4th.   
3. Reminder that I opened up a Microsoft Teams Class just for individual instruction.  If your child would like to take advantage of this, they can simply email me and ask me to set up a time and date.  Furthermore, they can pair up with a friend(s) from any of the 3 classes and we can do a small group session as well.   I’ve already held numerous successful tutoring sessions 
4. Please use the following email address to reach the front office of Mantee: manateeelementary@Brevardschools.org
5. All math assignments are posted to Google Classroom.  Be sure to check for assignments that say “Week 5 MVS” as their prefix.  The easiest way to access them is to use the link ‘Classwork” found on a tab on Google Classroom.
6. Meetings every Tuesday: Please note now that we are getting into newer academic curriculum, these meetings will now focus almost primarily on the topics, so I would highly recommend your child attending!   
   1. Mr. Zgonc’s homeroom will be held at 9am.
   2. Miss Schachner’s homeroom will be held at 9:30am
   3. Mr. Bailey’s homeroom will be held at 10am.
7. Math assignments this week consist of:
   1. 45 minutes of My Path on iReady
   2. iReady Assignment 1:  Practice Adding and Subtracting Integers
   3. iReady Assignment 2:  Strategies to Add and Subtracting with Integers
   4. iReady Assignment 3:  Practice: Strategies to Add and Subtracting with Integers 
8. IXL…please continue to take advantage of the school’s purchase of this website!  The lessons all correspond to the iReady lessons and have a quicker pace and feedback available that is very conducive for learning.
9. Please check out the website created by our guidance counselors at: http://www.manateecounselors.com/  There are many great resources for self-care and social/emotional awareness.
10. If you don’t get an email from me at the end of the week, your child is making satisfactory progress with their virtual math curriculum.

Please see past newsletters as I attempt to streamline the amount of information I am giving you.   Thanks and have a great week.
Mr. Zgonc
