Thanks for your patience as we continue to learn all the tricks and tools available to make the virtual experience positive for everyone. I know the system going down this morning was challenging, but everyone handled it like champs. All I can say is tomorrow is Friday. You have almost made it!
If you aren't using the Canvas app, go ahead and download it. You can use it to make quick announcements to your class. Will probably come in handy throughout the year.
Appreciate all the work you are doing to make this great for kids!!

Hello Mrs.Wandersee! I hope this email finds you well.I just wanted to tell you that while I was on FaceTime with one of my best friends yesterday,I told about "This or That"(the game we played in PALS where we sat down and stood up).She had fun playing the game and even though we have known each other for almost three years and we have a super strong friendship,we learned things about each other that we didn't know before.After we were done playing the game,she went on Google and searched up more questions that were a bit more personal.Thanks to PALS,my best friend and I know so much more about each other! -Happy student
I really enjoy your history class! I am so excited to see what interesting things we will be learning through out the year! I am really glad that I got you for my history teacher! -Happy Student
Hi Mrs. Ramirez. Want you to know how much I appreciate all you are doing for my son and your students during this time. I feel for all of you. It's a lot to navigate for the kids, so I can only imagine how it feels for you. My heart goes out to you as you juggle teaching your students and overseeing your own children's online learning. You are doing an amazing job. Your patience, calm demeanor, and encouragement are such a gift to your students. I am not a fan of on-line learning, but I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to get to know you and Ms. Oatis (and Mrs. Corcoran and Mrs. Williams). I'm thankful for this rare opportunity I have to build trust and reassure my brain and heart that this is a good thing for my son. -Happy Parent
Dear Mrs. Abney,
Thank you so much for helping me out today! I really appreciate it because my last math teacher didn’t do that and made math very difficult for me. I didn’t like math until I went to your classroom! Again thank you! I told my mom that you were my favorite teacher and she was super excited! Thank you so much! -Happy Student
