Good Morning!

My apologies for not getting this out on Friday. Occasionally, we have an IEP late in the day or something comes up at the last minute that might prevent me from updating the blog. I will always try to get something out on Monday when that happens!

I can’t believe we are heading into October! Everyone is doing a great job both online and with their independent schedules. Thank you for logging on with us every day and participating in your assignments. We love seeing you! Please keep sending those pictures – we can never get enough! It’s also how we document a student is following through with their work.

This week, we will begin to implement a 2:00 p.m. zoom session for students who may have questions or need help with an assignment. This is an optional session. New material will not be presented, but we will be there to provide additional support if needed. If no one signs on after 5 minutes we will close the session.

Beginning this 10/2/20, Friday’s class will be a whole group class. This gives the students an opportunity to see those they wouldn’t see during the week. (It was so much fun to hear the excitement and see the smiles when we did a whole group activity last week.) Friday classes will be “Leisure Recreation” and will either play a game, or have a special activity. While this is not normally an optional day, students who do not wish to participate in Zumba this Friday WILL be excused as I know this is not for everyone.

ZOOM TIPS:

• Delete old zoom links at the end of the week, that way you don’t mistakenly log on to last weeks link
• “Flag” or “Star” your zoom links, or create a folder to put them in, so they are easily found.
• Make sure students are on time! Students logging on after 5 min will not be admitted unless under special circumstances. It is very disruptive to the whole class. We did allow some exceptions last week due to the change in schedules, but this week we will stick to 5 minutes.
• Please make sure students are prepared with all materials, when they log on. Students should not need to get up out of their seats once the lesson has started.
• You will receive one link for an AM time, one link for a PM time – good for the entire week (Monday – Thursday). On Thursday, you will receive Friday’s link.

If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!

DON’T FORGET ZUMBA THIS FRIDAY AT 10AM! ALL ARE WELCOME!
