Week of April 19th
Happy Sunday students and parents. I know that you have received a LOT of information this weekend from the district, from our building, and from individual teachers, with that in mind I will try to keep this brief and welcome you all to reach out with any concerns or questions. Dearborn Public Schools has received word that our virtual learning plan was accepted. I have been in many meetings over the past week trying to iron out the details, and figure out what it would look like for our classes. Your work for the week is currently up on iLearn. Forensics Students- you have notes on DNA along with a guided notes sheet, you have DNA questions, and a forensic files viewing guide. I suggest you pace yourself and do one assignment today, one Tuesday, and one Thursday. All work will be due on Friday at 10:00 am. I know that most of you said you liked the Friday at midnight deadline, however we decided as a building to have common due date/time. Chemistry Students you have a gizmo on Balancing equations. When you log onto iLearn it looks as though you only have one assignment, but this assignment is designed to be spread out over a few days. I have suggested stopping points embedded in the document.
All students, starting TOMORROW Monday 4/20/2020 you will be checking in with me via a google hangout. Checking in with me is a requirement of the virtual learning. You have likely seen the schedule from the school, I know that many of you are used to my office hours I have been doing the past month, so I have created a compromise. I am going to try it out this week and then look forward to your feedback, as always I remind you that I am open to suggestions, this is all new to me too! Monday I will be meeting with First hour students from 1:00-1:40 via google hang out, 1:40-2:20 with second hour, and 2:20-3:00 with third hour. I will send you a nickname to join the hang out via remind right before the hang out begins. Please make sure you are ready to check in. I will go over expectations for the week, I will have a bellwork question, and then I will have a chance for questions. Please make sure you are ready at your start time, I do not foresee our meeting lasting the whole time so you should have plenty of time to get ready for your next class. Tuesday I will be meeting with my 5th hour from 1:40-2:20 and my 6th hour from 2:20-3:00. Monday/Tuesday check ins are mandatory. On Wednesday and Thursday I will have my open office hours via remind from 10-12. If you would like to speak with me via google hang outs at that time I am happy to do so, if you are unable to meet during that time slot Wed/Thurs please let me know and we will make alternate arrangements. I know that Ramadan begins this week and that will certainly be changing many of your schedules, I will do my best to be flexible.
