Hi Everyone,
Reminder that Chromebook distribution will take place on Monday, April 27 and Tuesday, April 28 from 12 to 3pm both days, near the teacher parking lot and food distribution area off of Horger Street. (Bring your student ID).
I hope that if you were fasting, this weekend wasn’t too difficult for you. I also hope that your first week of the new online learning schedule wasn’t too overwhelming. I know that it’s stressful. I’m right there with you. There’s a saying that goes, “One thing that remains the same is that everything changes.” This has been the theme for this second semester. I’m not feeling discouraged. I know that it’s a challenge and we will face this challenge head on.
Just as we had put out our schedules of meeting with students, online video chat requirements for classes, we unfortunately have to change. Per Dr. Maleyko and the Executive Board, we are no longer able to use Google Meet or Google Hangouts to video chat during our class times each week, until further notice. If you read his statements that he put out on Twitter and his blog, it was due to students who violated the district’s technology guidelines policy. Therefore, I won’t be able to schedule video conferencing at this time.
You will still be able to connect with me through email. I will still be posting assignments, updates and information here on the blog, and through email and Remind.
My policy will continue to be to respond to emails within 24 hours. If there is something that requires a more in depth discussion or conversation, we will try to work something out.
Your assignment for the week is as follows (the assignments are due by midnight Sunday, May 2).
For this week:
- You are going to start a new Google doc for the journal entries beginning with today’s date (April 27). (All of the entries that we have done the past month will be stored on your Google drive, but you’re going to start fresh with this one).
- You are going to call the Google doc “Last Name First Name ID Journal Entries for the Week of April 27”.
- The first thing you are going to type the date as the heading (NOT the header). 27 April 2020.
- Press enter once.
- You will begin your journal entry. Begin paragraphs with a tab, and then a capital letter. Use complete sentences, and proper punctuation.
- CHECK YOUR SPELLING AND PROOFREAD YOUR WORK!!
- Put your name and ID number in the footer.
- When you get to the end of your entry, press enter once, and then click on Insert Page Break.
- Your new page will be the entry for the next day (28 April 2020).
You will do this for each journal entry. By midnight Sunday, you will be submitting a 5 page document (each page is a journal entry for the week). You will be graded on all of these numbered items.
For your planning purposes:
I will respond during office hours Mondays and Fridays (between 11-2; you will need to be patient. I will get to them during that time, but may not be the instant you send the email).
