ELA Distance Learning for Week of May 4

Weekly Announcements: 

• Later today, I will be posting a spreadsheet where you can notify me of any late work you have done, so I know to go check it.  

I WILL NOT BE UPDATING LATE WORK THE MOMENT YOU DO IT

If you want the grade right away, do the assignment by the due date.

• By now, you should have joined your advisory teachers “Remind” group.  Let me know if you need the link.

• I will continue to post all assignments and directions  on the blog on Monday morning and Google Classroom (no more emails).
• There will be no google meetings this week per the district. To support your learning, I have/will provide instructional videos on Google-Classroom.
• If you have questions, after reading all assignment directions, please email me directly. 

I don’t see your comments on google-classroom until I am checking work.
