Tips for a successful 2nd quarter
I can’t believe the first quarter is coming to a close already. Upon reflection of this quarter, below are some changes that I am making to the structure of my class to support student success.
Zoom Meets will be on Tuesdays every week (barring extenuating circumstances).
Notes (if applicable) will continue to be posted to Google Classroom directly after each Zoom meeting.
Class Meetings (Tuesdays) will count as an assessment grade unless excused by a parent email.
As not all assessments in ELA take the form of quizzes and test; I will label all assessment assignments.
I understand that you are inundated with emails. Next quarter, students will you bi-weekly (and cc me) a form email including current grade in my class, number of missing assignments, and important information. These emails will count as an assessment grade.
