Good morning Division 7,<\/p>\n

Happy Monday!<\/p>\n

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was lovely to see your “outside my window” art projects, architecture projects and read your mystery stories. I will continue to read them throughout the week.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your continued support, patience and compassion throughout this learning journey. I feel very lucky and consistently blown away to have a class full of such kind and caring families. Your kindness is much appreciated!! We are all brand to online teaching and learning. As teachers, we are trying our best meet the very broad needs of each family and adjust our teaching programs accordingly. As learners, you are trying your best to navigate the new technologies and way of learning. Thank you learners for expressing perks and challenges as it helps me make adjustments to the learning program.<\/p>\n

You may notice changes to the program each week. Please continue to be flexible and patient to changes that may occur over the weeks until we find a happy balance.<\/p>\n

    1. Video Conferencing<\/h1>\n

    I would like to make an attempt at holding “office hours” for our class. This is a time that I can answer or clarify any questions you may have on assignments and expectations. The first one will be today at 11 am.\u00a0<\/strong>I will also hold on on Wednesday<\/strong> at 11 am<\/strong> as well if you have any more questions by then. We also have our “Sharing Circle” on Friday at 11am. Thank you so much for all who joined last week — it was so great to see some of your faces and what you have been working on.<\/p>\n

    To join a call:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Log onto Microsoft Teams<\/li>\n
    2. Check the \u201cGeneral Posts\u201d. Look for my post titled \u201cOffice Hours\u201d<\/li>\n
    3. Arrive just before 11 am and click \u201cJoin\u201d meetingIf you would like to speak with me privately, please let me know and we can schedule a time.\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      2. Assignment Submission<\/h1>\n

      There are three ways to submit work to me:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Microsoft Teams (preferred<\/strong>)<\/li>\n
      • FreshGrade<\/li>\n
      • Email<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The preferred<\/strong> way to hand in your assignments is through Microsoft Teams<\/strong> (in the “assignments” section). I understand that this may be a challenge to some students who have a tablet and are hand-writing their assignments. If this is the case, please submit your work through FreshGrade (student app) — the simple interface allows students to independently take and send photos. If you are having trouble with Microsoft Teams or FreshGrade, please feel free to email me.<\/p>\n
