Welcome to week two of remote learning! First off, let me say that I am in awe of all your hard work! You guys have went above and beyond to do the work and for that, I am so proud! However, I have received many emails asking if the upcoming work is going to “count” for a grade. Although the actual grade that I input in MiStar can’t actually count in your final grade, these assignments do lend themselves to making you a better reader, writer, and thinker. With that being said, you should (and I would like you to) continue doing these assignments to keep your skill set strong for when we do return to school.

Task for today:

Please go to I-Learn and read the Article of the Week I have assigned for your class. Although the window for this Article of the Week does not close until Wednesday, I do not want this to be a high stress activity but rather, an opportunity for enrichment. With that being said, you only have to read the article for twenty minutes today and complete either an annotation or a reply to an annotation. You only need to include one annotation or reply! We will continue reading and annotating tomorrow and complete this AOW on Wednesday.

Social Work Support:

Mrs. Rumler has asked that all teachers share the following two documents on our blogs for you to reference in this difficult time.

Relaxation-Techniques

Dealing with Stress and Anxiety

As always, I am available by email, remind, and google classroom. Please do this activity in I-Learn.

Stay Safe!
