It’s finally sunny outside. Step into your backyard, or on your front porch and get some fresh air. Make sure you maintain social distancing, but take advantage of the weather today!

It’s a new month! Today is April Fool’s Day! When you write your journal entry for today (to be submitted tomorrow), let me know if you prank anyone in your family. Just make sure it’s not cruel and that you are safe doing it.
I hid my daughter’s smoothie maker!!
I’m getting a few emails about unlocking attendance questions for previous days. They get locked at midnight of the day that they are due. It’s kind of like bell work. If it’s not done by the deadline, there’s no going back to it. Please make sure you’re cognizant of that.
Today’s submission is for yesterday’s date. Make sure you put it together and follow the requirements. Some of you are not running spell check and proofreading your work. If you’re not sure what the requirements are, go back to some of the earlier blog posts to see what I’m looking for with the journal entries.
Here’s today’s attendance question:
So we attempted the video chats today. Thanks to those who participated. I can make it a weekly thing if you choose. My purpose for having a video chat is to allow students to chat with each other (you guys wouldn’t stop talking in class, so I figure this would give you an opportunity to visit), to ask me questions, or to vent.
Today’s Assignment will be to share your journal entry for 3/30 and answer the following question:

TODAY’S ASSIGNMENT
Submit your journal entry from Friday (3/27) today.
Here’s today’s attendance question:
Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing alright. The weather was great Wednesday, and then we got back to the Michigan normal.
I know things are getting frustrating, not being able to get together with your friends and extended families. However, we all need to do our part. Please make sure that you’re staying home, not getting together with groups of people, going to the parks, or having gatherings. Use FaceTime and video chats with your friends and family (you now have a legitimate excuse to be on your phones more!!) I’ve seen so many people who are playing games virtually…video chatting and playing Uno with other people! We need to be thankful that we are being asked to stay in the comforts of our own homes and, for the most part, with the people we love! (Or can at least tolerate to be around). If you need a minute for yourself, sit on your porch, walk up and down the block, open your front door and take in a breath of fresh air!
My younger daughter, who has been fighting with me since she could talk about wanting a tablet or a phone, says to me last night, “Mom, I never thought I would say this, but I’m sick of technology…I’m bored with the Chromebook, tv, and movies.” Yes!!!
For today’s assignment, submit your journal entry about what you did yesterday. Make sure you’re following the guidelines. Put some thought into it. Some of you are doing great. Some of you are just throwing some words and thinking I’ll be okay with it. Nope!!
Answer the following question:
I’m keeping track of all of these responses and journal entries in MiStar. You’ll see them in there with a grade, however, the grade has not been averaged in. Once we figure out how we’re going to handle online learning, I can easily go back in and add it in, or delete it (depending on what we hear from the district and the State), so keep working.
Most responses for the video chats were for the evening, but I did have a few for the a.m. I decided I’ll do both. I’m going to work this weekend on trying to put the chat together, and then I’ll send the links out for you to join in.
Enjoy your weekend!

Hey Everyone!
I apologize for the late post. It’s been a rough day for me today already and it’s only 1:30. Didn’t sleep well last night. My brain wouldn’t turn off and there was a lot running through my head. My anxiety kicked in strong today, so I’ve just been trying to take some long breaths to calm myself down.
I had to take my daughter to the doctor to have her cast removed (she hurt it playing volleyball). Thankfully, the doc said she didn’t need another cast, and she could just be in a removable splint.
I’m going to take a break and maybe walk around the block to get some fresh air before I do some more work and make dinner.
Please submit your entry from yesterday’s date (3/25) for today. Also, answer the questions in the link below:
Despite how crazy things were in class, I miss seeing all of you and hope you are staying healthy and safe and enjoying spending time with your families.
