The Tech Coaches put out a great page with videos to help kids do different things on Schoology. Please watch these with your kids to help you understand Schoology better.
Students will need to be reading for at least 20 minutes every night. This is VERY important for their reading development. I know that students may not have as many books at home as they did at school, so one way to access more books is by getting a library card.
I have a Dearborn Public Library card and use it all the time to check out books to read to my class.
I was so happy to see all of you on Zoom today! What a great start to the school year!
I know there was some confusion about Specials today. Special Classes are from 1:00-1:50 Monday-Friday(please see the schedule below). When your child logs into Schoology they will see all of their courses, including the Special Area teachers courses. However, Mrs. Burek has not been added yet(Science Enrichment). Her course will be up next week. They need to find the special area teacher’s course and click on it. They only have an assignment to complete! They will not see a live teacher. A zoom link will be provided only if they need help completing the assignment. I hope this helps!
Here is the schedule that we will follow this year:
** Reminder!!! Independent work time is right after specials from 1:55- 3:50. Please look in the folder for that day. They need to complete and submit their assignments each day.
Please remember that school starts at 8:55 am and if students join the meeting after 9:15 they are considered tardy. If they do not join at all, they are absent.
Today is orientation and material pick up day. Please be sure to arrive on time with your Chromebook or digital device and a mask. Remember only the student and one parent should be attending so that we are able to better social distance.
After our orientation you will have some practice things to do on Schoology. I will also be sharing the presentation from orientation with all families.
We will begin live Zoom lessons on Tuesday September 8 at 8:55 a.m. Please have your child prepared!
Happy second day of school!! Today we are going to practice going to Schoology.
Schoology is going to be where all our classwork, homework, and Zoom meetings will take place. Please look at the document below to help you log into to Schoology.
