Well, we made it through another week!! We have a few more to go and Spring Break will be here before we realize it. We began the week with finishing up our book clubs and are finishing the week with our "College Day". You will see pics from both below. We were out Thursday and I'm glad the district thought of our safety first. Another good thing was we do not have to make up a day for being out, thanks to the virtual world. This week, we will have 2 asynchronous days, in which the students will stay home but log on to our Google Classroom and go through the Pathway to complete assignments. The 2 days are this Thursday and Friday, March 25th and March 26th. No new learning will occur on those days, but students will still be responsible for completing and turning in assignments to be graded. Students will log on at 9 and will be working virtually from home on both days on material that we have already covered. My office hours both days will be from 9-11 AM in case there ...
Well, here's to another long weekend!!! I hope their asynchronous day went smoothly. I was in the Google Classroom during my office hours and a few of them reached out to me. Remember, Monday, March 29th, is the new Spring picture day. Students can bring a change of clothes so they can feel comfortable after taking their picture. Also, remember we are out Friday, April 1st in observance of Good Friday! Y'all, I can't believe Spring Break is already here. We will be out from April 1st-April 9th. We will return on April 12th. MAP testing will happen the following week. Are you ready for the countdown to summer?! Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see their bright faces on Monday!!
Well, I hope everyone has had the opportunity to relax and recharge this past week. We will come back in at 100 and then, Thursday and Friday will be asynchronous. My office hours will be from 9-11 on both days, in case there are questions. I will have the class on and they can pop in and ask questions. Some students took advantage of this last time. All asynchronous work is due by midnight Sunday. The following week we will begin MAP testing and then start reviewing and wrapping up for state testing. WE ARE READY for this and more. I believe they can and will as long as they take their time and read carefully. Sitting in class with them, I see and know what they can do. There are mistakes made and usually it's because they are not taking their time. This is shown when I go back and have them to sit with me, re-read the question, and redo their answer. And BAMMMMMM, they get it right!! I remind them there are no redos on MAP or state testing. We will continue to work on slow...
