New Schedule
Perhaps you heard that the state is requiring 35 hours of live instruction every two weeks? While our class was pretty close to meeting state expectations, I have revised the schedule once again to provide even more support for students during their remote days.
The district will be launching new schedules across every grade level in the very near future but I would like to pilot our new schedule this week. This way, I can observe student success with the new schedule and make any necessary changes prior to the district formally launching the change. I'd also like to streamline our transition back by eliminating many schedule changes which I believe will make the transition back to the hybrid model a little easier for the students.
You will notice the addition of "concurrent" math and ELA blocks. During these blocks, I will be teaching both the in-person and remote learners simultaneously. My intention is to provide all students with critical direct instruction in mathematics and English language arts during these periods. Remote learners will continue to have I.W.T. blocks during their days that are provided so that students have some time to practice skills and complete assignments while working at their own pace. The students will also meet daily with their cohorts in Prof. Quimby's Zoom room for support in both reading and math daily.
I am attaching two versions of the schedule below. The first is the FULL schedule of in-person, synchronous remote Wednesdays, and remote days. The second schedule is a schedule that students can save to their iPads and use on their remote days. It has Zoom links embedded in it so it should make checking into the right classes easy for them. I will review the schedule changes with them on Tuesday and will check in with them to make sure they understand where they need to be at every turn.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about our new schedule.
