Please see the following guidelines to help your child prepare:

Please check it out and see what needs to be completed today.

Technology troubles

We had a few technology glitches today, but hopefully they will all be worked out by tomorrow. I appreciate students who were patient and respectful while troubleshooting. Learning something new everyday, we are all in this together! Thank you for your understanding.

To create the best learning environment possible:

• Sitting up during lessons and learning time
• Cell phones, game systems, or other electronic devices should be off and put away so students are not distracted from their learning
• Find a quiet place with minimal distractions to create the best learning environment possible
• Have learning materials ready and accessible for each subject
• Keep computer charged

Thank you for your ongoing help and support!

Here is today’s to do list:

1. Do Word Study Day 4
2. Open Benchmark link in ELA, choose a book and read for 20 minutes

Our first full day was a success!

Please know there will be kinks to work out this week and we will do our best to get them worked out as quickly as possible. I’m really proud of my class and how everyone showed up ready to learn today. 

I’m posting our schedule here again for you so you can look at it anytime you need. I included where to find the Zoom link for each time/subject.

I signed everyone up up for an Epic account. Follow the link in ELA and start finding some good books to read! We will start building in some independent reading time into our days.

I look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow morning at 8:55 am in ELA!

All students have met with me for their Schoology orientation. Thank you for your help getting them logged in and familiar with the new platform!

We are set to start Monday morning at 8:55 am. Please help students get into a routine of being up, dressed, fed, and situated at their work space at least 10 minutes before the start of class. This will give them time to read updates from any of their teachers and have a smooth transition to class.

Go to Schoology courses for the link to join Zoom meetings:

8:55 am = ELA

10:30 am = Math

12:25 pm = Home Room

Attendance will be taken at 8:55 am and again in the afternoon at 12:25.

I am including an updated schedule that includes attendance times for specials classes as well.
