Welcome to Remote Learning

Welcome to Ms. Ortiz's online classroom resources. I will be posting new weekly links to online learning activities aligned to the published district learning focus. I am excited to venture into this new learning experience with my students. I am here to support your child during this time. Questions may arise during this time. Please know that I have dedicated Monday-Thursday from 11:30-12:00 to promptly respond to your questions through email at andreaortiz@tomballisd.net or you may call me at (832) 821-6291 during office hours only. It is my goal to have remote learning accessible for all students, please view my welcome video and edlio page with your child. Help me with my goal by responding to this email with your access to learning abilities at home.

Talking Library
Parents, 
I have had a couple of questions about the ''Talking Library' on the Starfall.com webpage. Once you are on the starfall.com page, look for the icon that looks like this one. That is the 'Talking Library'..

Interactive Storytime (Week 3/23)

This week we are going to do a fun activity! I found an awesome book to share with the kids called Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion. I absolutely loved it and believe your child will too! Talking about reading is so important, therefore I encourage your child to share their favorite part of the book with you and your family. If you choose to dive deeper, you may ask them to share the setting and characters of the story. Have fun reading and continue to check Edlio for weekly posts!


The story can be found by clicking the following link:
