PLEASE READ: Your Schedule and Work Tips April 20th

Hello! Notes for Everyone moving forward

Weekly Schedule:

• Check the blog beginning of week for the list of updated learning activities.
• Check MS Teams & Email at least 1-2 times a day. Don’t spend all day on there!
• Post comments about unit questions Ms. D has in MS Teams.
• Use a schedule with the categories — one activity from each category, each day.
• Try focusing on one NEED TO DO assignment each day to meet deadlines.
• Ms. D will have small-group meetings 2 times daily. Check your email for an invite. Meetings will be a half hour  (10:30-11:00, 1:30-2:00, 2:00-2:30)
• Wednesday is whole-group meeting on ZOOM 10:00 – 10:30 AM. OPTIONAL
• Every day read aloud 2:30 – 3:00. OPTIONAL
• Ms. D is available every day for questions 9AM to 3PM.
• MS Teams is open daily 8:30 – 4:00 for comments, closed night & weekends.

Helpful Tips:

• Try not to work on one task for longer than 60 minutes. That’s why the categories I provided are not longer than one hour.
• Stop and take regular breaks. Think about how we use the Break Board in class. Take SHORT breaks. Get up, get moving, get away from the screen!
• Find out your assignments, but work on some of them offline. You don’t always need to be on the computer.
• Work on one “need to do” assignment each day so deadlines are met.
• If you are having trouble, communicate with Ms. D and I will help!
• Remember, we are working in a weird time. I am flexible. Just show me you are making an effort and participating in our learning. That is what is important right now. 
• The District has provided guidelines for technology use, specifically with video conferencing and MS Team Tools. Please follow the Digital Code of Conduct and  see this website for more details.
