CNN 10 and IXL

For all of my grades and classes:

We will be watching and answering questions on CNN 10 every day. Please go to Google Classroom for the link and the assignment.

You also have an IXL assignment due by 9:00 tomorrow morning. Some of you may have done this before, but we need to keep our skills sharp. Please notice that you now need a 90% in order to get your points. I will be checking my email regularly if you have questions.

You also need to keep reading at home. Don’t worry about any library books being overdue at this time, just read them. I will be asking you SSR questions later on.

If there is a student you know who does not have internet access, please let me know. Comcast and Xfinity are offering free internet to students and their families for two months.

I know this whole situation is very strange and confusing, but we will get though it together. Remember to stay home as much as possible, wash your hands, and don’t panic. Things will settle down soon. I love you all, hang in there.

Update on School Shutdown

Good Morning! I saw many of you this morning, but in case I didn’t, school is closed until April 13, one month from today. We will be continuing our lessons online starting Monday. You will need to check your email and Google Classroom every day for assignments and links to articles that we will be working on. I will email this to everyone today and if you haven’t subscribed to the blog, you need to do so now. There will also be a check-in on Google Classroom beginning today. If you have not checked in by Monday morning, I will be calling your house. If you don’t have steady internet access, go to this link and you can get free internet for two months along with the cables. https://www.wxyz.com/news/national/coronavirus/comcast-offering-internet-essentials-package-free-for-60-months-during-coronavirus-outbreak

Stay safe, wash your hands, and avoid going to places with big crowds. It will be an interesting three weeks, but we’ll get through it just fine.
