I’m sure that you have already downloaded the Remind 101 app for your mobile device. In order to receive reminders from Ms. Colter and myself please text the following message @dbc668 to 81010.
Classroom expectations for remote learning:
Over the next few weeks until we can attend school again, I will be posting assignments in accordance with the district’s expectations for remote learning which means that I will be posting daily articles this week relating to various aspects of World History and the Industrial Revolution for you to read and ponder its significance. I will also be posting assignments with various due dates.
As a social studies class Ms. Colter and I want to support you in your goal of having an SRI score of 1200 (roughly the reading level of an 11th grader during the last half of their junior year) and providing you with relevant articles is a great way to support you. Now, as the next few weeks provide us with clarity to the state and district’s plans, we might offer alternative assignments or a more rigorous curriculum but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
Finally, take care of what is important:
This should go without saying but during the next few weeks make sure that you are not only taking care of those around you but that you are taking care of yourself. Set goals for yourself that will help you be a better person and develop a sense of pride in the young man or woman that you’re becoming. Focus on staying healthy but come back to school in a few weeks a better version of you than I have met before who is ready to work and close this year out right. But most importantly get plenty of rest, wash your hands after touching your face and don’t cough on anyone!
Have a great day,
Mr. Holly & Ms. Colter
