Good afternoon Haigh families. I hope you have had a great end of summer weekend. The weather sure did switch from summer to fall!
This week we will try to begin our normal schedule and begin instruction. I know we have had (I have had) a hard time with technology. I have been in contact with the tech department and have been Zooming with my family members all weekend to ensure it will work on Tuesday. On Tuesday I plan to show the students how to get onto Schoology and access Zoom from a BIG yellow button. This button will be the link that students will use all year to get to their Zoom meetings. They will simply log in to Schoology and find my course and click the yellow zoom button at the times on the schedule. We will also be setting norms for attending Zoom meetings each day.
This week we are also going to begin to schedule meetings in the afternoon from 1:30-3:55 to assess students in reading. Please check out the sign up genius and find a time that works for you. Please note that students must wear a mask when entering the building and parents will be asked to wait outside of the building. Each sign up is scheduled for 25 minutes.
Reminders for the week:
- Please check your email daily for notifications from me. The Zoom code for Tuesday will be there ( For safety measures I cannot post the link on my blog) For the rest of the week and moving forward we will use the yellow Zoom button in my Schoology course.
- Please begin to familiarize yourself with Schoology. Please see this link and this video
- Please sign up on a date and time that works best for you to bring your child to the building to assessed in reading click here
- Please go to getepic.com and enter the class code : tmh3334
- Please ensure your child has a set spot that is comfortable, neat, and organized each day for their remote learning classroom.
Below you will find a copy of the learning for the week. Please keep in mind that this is just a plan for the week and may change due to issues with technology or a task taking longer than expected. I will be doing live lessons from 9:00-10:25 and 10:30-11:45. We will see how it goes. I know this is a lot of information but hopefully it will help prepare you and your family for a daily routine. If possible, please have your child on time with a whiteboard, marker, and a designated notebook for a reading response notebook. They will also need math notebooks near them during the math block.
Please email me with any questions you may have and I will try to answer them:) Have a great rest of your day 🙂
