"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." --President Barack Obama
Connecting with Each Other

CONNECTING WITH OUR LEARNING
In our distance learning model, we have identified three priorities for learning:
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF - priority #1
- Enjoy the LONG weekend.
- Ways to stay Healthy, Educated, & Entertained while we are at home
- Here is an ongoing list of ways to stay connected with others while you are at home
CONNECT WITH STUDENTS - priority #2
- Creative and fun ways to engage our students in Virtual Learning
- Here is a link full of resources as we embark on virtual learning, please feel free to add to this list- with an explanation about the site to share with everyone.
- Here is a list of what we shared at our last week's staff meeting
Deena- An example of what she did to her classroom based on what Mark talked about last week
Mark's share- The 3 of 5 Google Meets

PROVIDE FEEDBACK - priority #3
- As more and more of us are using Google Meet as a good way to connect and support learning we are asking you to use this schedule to coordinate meet times so we do not overlap. The times you entered last week are still on the Meet Sheet, but if you have additions or changes, please make them by noon on Friday.
