Well, here we go! After much preparation, we are rolling out our Virtual Learning/Online Learning program. We hope to be creative during this time while allowing students to read and write daily.

Students will have instructions on how to complete their Companion Books, but basically it will be a completion grade. I will give students a breakdown of the scoring guide.

Students will be asked to read 15 minutes each day and will have a weekly check-up on their reading. I will provide a document for online book possibilities as well as a list of short stories for students who don’t have physical books in their possession.

Students will also be asked to write in a daily blog called Slice of Life. I will be sending a permission form to parents to allow their students to write on the blog.

I’m excited to be back to school, even under our new circumstances.

We are continuing our Body Systems unit next week. Students will look at posters made by other students to gather information. They will be completing a Google Doc after analyzing the posters. They will then have to write a summary of their notes.

Please don’t hesitate to ask me anything!

We’ve been working like mad to get things up and running for you. It may be a little strange, at first, but we will make it work. I’m so looking forward to seeing you all next week!

My plan is to have a short agenda with the tasks for each day, the assignment, and some resources that will be useful, but not required, should you want to dig a bit deeper. We will be jumping right into The Middle Ages.
