April 17th update

Welcome to Friday!

I hope you are finding your way through our activities without too much difficulty. It seems like many of you are at different places along this new path, and that’s OK. I do want you to reach out and let me know what has been difficult or confusing and I especially want to know what help you could use. Please leave a comment on the blog, use the question form, or send me a message via email.

Today is a day to finish up the activities you’ve chosen to work on over the whole week [choice or flex-time]. Review these along with the other activities for each day, including preparing to meet together onine on Tuesday.

It has been good to be able to reconnect with more of you, and I’m sure it will keep getting better. Talk to you soon!

March April 16th update

[Oh My! I do feel foolish! All week I’ve been naming the wrong month when writing the date! Comments and work submitted show me you are carrying on despite my error, but I do apologise for adding more confusion to this confusing time. Yikes!]

Over the remaining days of this week, we need to spend some time preparing to meet as a class online. It might be a little tricky at the start, but we will get better at it. You might have had some experiences visiting with family members or other groups online over the last few weeks. That experience may be helpful, though our meeting will be a little more formal than a visit with family and friends (we will be in school after all, or at least in a virtual school setting while not actually in our school building).

Please leave a comment on the blog about an experience or a question you have about meeting or visiting online. (Maybe you have a funny story about a pet interrupting your video, or maybe you have a frustration to share or a helpful tip.)

I am including some new activities today, but it is also important that you spend some time reviewing & asking questions about what we’ve done so far.

March April 15th Update

How did yesterday go for you? Let us know by leaving a comment or by sending me a question [especially if you are having any difficulty with tasks, links, logins, or anything else]. 

Reading a few new comments to the blog, getting a few questions from students & getting to talk to a few folks from school on the phone yesterday made my day. I think most students are still adjusting and getting used to using the blog and office documents again. I am available through the school day to give feedback and answer questions.

I’ve added updates to activities for this (short) week for you here. Check them out and give them a try. And please keep letting me know how I can help!
