Winter Break is almost here, and this will be the last Blog post of 2018. If I don't see you this week have a wonderful vacation!

Please remember that that the Visions' offices will close on Friday around noon. This means there will be no vouchers or orders processed between noon this Friday and Monday, January 7th. If you need vouchers or materials in early January, please make sure to place your orders early this week.

Share of the Week

Thank you to Elyse Prunty for sharing the Sacramento Bee's list of fun holiday things to do in the Sacramento area!

https://www.sacbee.com/entertainment/holidays/article118229593.html

That article inspired me to find some other local events:

Victorian Carolers Dinner (tonight!) and A Christmas Carol (Dec. 6 - 16). Information and tickets at Baker's Street West.

First 5 Amador presents the 17th Annual Children’s Holiday Festival, Friday, December 14th from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Margaret Dalton Children’s Center on Broadway in Jackson. There will be winter festivals from around the world, activities, music, snacks, Santa and Mrs. Claus, holiday entertainment and more. This event is free, for more info call 257-1092











Do you have something fun you have been doing? Know of an event, class or other activity that other home school families might like to know about? If so, email me the info and I will share it out.

Report Cards

End of semester report cards and grades are on the horizon. I will be collecting report card progress (K-5) and grades (6-12) at our LP5 virtual meeting. LP5 begins on December 17th, so for many of you this won't be until after the winter break. I will repost this the first day of LP5.

Here is how to prepare:

Grades K-5:
Remember, there are no real "grades" for K-5. Report cards just track progress through the grade level standards. In general: most students will be earning 2s for most categories,  a student working above grade level will earn 4s, categories not addressed yet will earn 1s, categories covered fully will earn 3s.

• Download (or just view) sample report cards below. Look over the categories and see if you have any questions. 
• Decide if you would like to add optional effort grades and if so, have them ready to give me at our LP5 meeting.
• Write up your overall comments to read to me at our LP5 meeting. 
• Have your progress grades ready to give me at our LP5 meeting.
• You don't need to fill out the LP5 progress tab on the semester plan. The report card will count for that.

Grades 6-12:

• Check in on your student's grades and progress, keep close track between now and our LP5 meeting.
• Write up your overall comments and optional effort grades to give to me at our LP5 meeting. 
• Have your final grades updated in your Semester Plan for our LP5 meeting.

Grades 9-12:

• Check in on your student's grades and progress, keep close track between now and our LP5 meeting. 
• Write up your overall comments to give to me at our LP5 meeting. 
• Have your final grades updated in your Semester Plan for our LP5 meeting.

You can download/view samples here:
These are last year's samples, but I haven't been notified of any changes.

Ski Days!

From the Wire...

2019 Home School Ski Day Dates Announced – Sign Up Now!

Love to ski or snowboard? Interested in learning how?

Visions Home School students and their immediate family members will have the exciting opportunity to ski or snowboard at our annual Ski Day events this winter.

We’re partnering with Sierra-at-Tahoe to offer multiple Ski Day dates where students can use student funds to learn the sport at discounted school group rates. Even better, family members and non-lesson students/siblings can also take advantage of the same discounted rates by paying for the tickets with personal funds.

2019 SKI DAY DATES*

Friday, Feb. 1


Friday, Feb. 8


Friday, Mar. 8


Friday, Mar. 22

To participate, families will need to fill out a Ski Days Order Form (one form for every family member) on the Visions-Sponsored Ski Days event page.

*All dates are subject to cancellation if weather conditions risk the safety of our students. Please remember that we can’t control the weather and do our best to work through its unpredictability!

PAYMENT & CANCELLATION POLICY HIGHLIGHTS (more details on event page linked above)

• Only enrolled students who take a lesson are able to use student funds. Parents and/or non-enrolled family members will need to pay with personal funds by the close of business the Friday BEFORE the ski day date. This allows Sierra-at-Tahoe sufficient time to hire instructors.
• Visions is able to accept check, cash, or money order only. We are unable to take credit card payments at this time.
• Because we need to report confirmed numbers to Sierra-at-Tahoe, failure to pay for parent/non-enrolled family member tickets by the Friday before assumes the family does not wish to participate and will result in cancellation of tickets for you and your student/family members. Orders are also non-refundable after that time.
• For ski days canceled due to weather/safety of our families, student accounts will NOT be charged and all non-student payments will be transferred to another ski date of your choice. If this happens, please fill out the ski form and in the comments notate that you are transferring your payment from a previous date.

For questions, please reach out to the Home School Event Coordinator at (916) 883-1611 or hsevents@viedu.org.

Progress Grades - (6th - 12th only)

I will be submitting progress grades for all 6th - 12th graders on Friday. I will submit the cumulative grade from the LP2 grade tab on your semester plans. Please check that your LP2 grades are updated before then. Let me know if you have questions or need help.

LP3 Virtual Meetings

All LP3 meetings will be held using Zoom. Using Zoom for our virtual meetings worked very well last year. However, I'm sure many of us will need a refresher. 

How it works:

• I'll send you an invitation via email on the Monday of your meeting week.
• Click on the link to join the meeting.
• If you haven't downloaded the Zoom app before, it will prompt you. It may take a minute or two.
• Zoom works on tablets and phones, but is best on laptop or desktop computers.

How to prepare for our virtual meetings for parents/guardians:

• Plan an activity and/or snack for students once they have completed sharing their work. This works especially well for younger students.
• Have students share their work first. Then they can move on to the planned activity, and we can focus on school business and questions.
• Expect some difficulties. The first meeting (or two) may need some trouble shooting. The more we expect this possibility, the less frustrating it will be.
• Gather questions and concerns you might have.
• If possible, fill out your semester plan through LP4, LP3 PE log, LP3 Progress/Grade tab and log LP3 attendance before the meeting. If that is not possible, please have your assignments, PE activities and grades ready so we can input them together. Also, have your Launchpad parent account sign in info on hand so I can walk you though logging attendance if you don't get the chance to do it prior to the meeting.
• Have your phone on hand. The worst that could happen is that we have a phone meeting and I help you log onto Zoom at our next face to face.

How to prepare for our virtual meetings for students:

Have your work ready to share. You can do this a number of ways:

• You can hold work, projects or pictures up to the computer to show me
• You can share your screen if you have work or pictures on your computer
• You can play and instrument, sing a song, or show me a dance or PE move
• You can read a book
• You can demonstrate your math skills (Zoom has a whiteboard that you can write on!)
• You can take over the controls and show me a website that you have been using
• You can even ask for help with any of your school work!

Zoom has some resources on it's website. One of the best is 53 second video on Joining a Meeting. I highly suggest that new families watch this one as it walks you through what will happen when you click on the invitation I'll be sending via email. There are also videos on how to configure your audio, use the meeting controls, and share your screen.

Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. I'm here to help.

Share of the Week

Have something cool to share? A resource, a field trip, class, activity, curriculum, or vendor to recommend? Email me, and I'll post it on the blog under Share of the Week.

This week's share is from Shelly Zabawa.

Print your own personalized handwriting practice sheets. Free! Just go to www.handwritingworksheets.com to make your own print, D'Nealian, and cursive worksheets with your own content. Use spelling words, copy work paragraphs, names, etc.

The site is full of adds, and takes a minute to figure out, but I didn't have to provide any personal information to make this, and it only took me a couple of minutes. Fun!

Thank you Shelly!

Did You Know?

Visions has enrichment activities for grades TK-8 in Galt? For families that live in Ione, this may be a great resource!

• Here is the link on the Wire for more information. 
• Here is a schedule of classes in a one page format.

Don't forget about the Amador County Recreation Agency's classes as well. They start tomorrow!

While there may not be as many vendors in our area as we would like, there are many more in Cameron Park, El Dorado Hills, and Folsom. You can search for vendors on this page.
