UPDATE: Mrs. A and I will be having a lunch chat over Google Meet tomorrow, Friday April 3rd, at noon! Join us if you want to check in. If you have questions that’s fine and we will definitely answer them, but we also just want to see how you’re doing!
Happy Thursday!
Just a heads up: Governor Whitmer is conducting a press conference at 10:30 am if you want to tune in. Hopefully, after that, we will START to have a better idea of what the rest of the school year is going to look like.
However, as I’ve said before, until we get that solid directive, it’s business as usual.
I’ve posted an assignment asking for you all to respond to yesterday’s article. Tell me your thoughts on it while using introductory dependent clauses and parallel structure in your writing.
For those of you that are still saying that you can’t sign into Newsela — you have to create an account. When you do, there will be an option to create an account using your Google account. Click that option. I don’t know how else to instruct you on this, guys.
I’m going to continue working through some of your writing today and giving feedback, so be on the look out for that. If I return your work to you, you should go look at my comments!
For those of you that are sticking with this enrichment thing regardless of what may or may not count as a grade, I appreciate you. For those of you that can’t for one reason or another, I hope you’re doing okay.
And for those of you that are struggling, please reach out. Or, if it’s really getting to be too much, refer to what Mrs. A posted the other day about resources for emotional support. Despite social distancing, you aren’t alone, and there’s no reason for you to feel that way.
I love you all. We’ll figure it out and we’ll be okay. 🙂
