I am looking forward to seeing you (from a socially-responsible distance) during your scheduled pick-up appointments this week.\u00a0 If the time I emailed to parents does not work, please let me know and we can arrange another time.<\/strong><\/p>\nFor pick-ups, please come to the North-side door where you line up in the mornings, coming from the parking lot side.\u00a0 I will have your belongings on a desk just outside the door, and will be there to say “hello!”\u00a0 When you leave, I will ask that you go down the steps and in front of the school.\u00a0 This way, we will have only one-way traffic, to reduce the risk of passing others.\u00a0 Your appointments are scheduled at 15-minute intervals to give a bit of time between each.<\/p>\n
I will have your belongings (binders, pencil cases, etc) and a packet of school work for the coming weeks.\u00a0 It may seem like a lot all at once, but it is not meant to be done all at once!\u00a0 I will provide prompts and lessons through our blog, and continue to post assignments that can be done online.\u00a0 The paper work will be used to support other lessons, and give you the chance to do school work without being on the computer all day (I know that I am getting tired of sitting at a computer, and I imagine you might be too)!<\/p>\n
Due to scheduling and learning how to properly use video calls, I will have to cancel our Class Meeting for today.<\/strong>\u00a0 I will try my best to have one set up for Wednesday at 11:00 am.\u00a0 My apologies too all of you.<\/p>\nI have made a special order for a book called Front Desk<\/em> by Kelly Yang, which I would like to do as a read-aloud novel study with you! I plan to record videos and post links to them here, so you can listen as we go along.\u00a0 There will be literacy work to go along with the novel, just like you did for Lit Circles.\u00a0 There is also the option to do an extension<\/strong>: if you would like, you can do an independent novel study of your own<\/em> alongside our class novel study.\u00a0 I am supposed to pick up the book this evening, so for today, you can listen to the first chapter read by the author herself:<\/p>\n
