I hope everyone is staying safe.  I wanted to send a reminder that this weeks school work is due tomorrow at 3pm; this has been all enrichment and review of prior skills.  Beginning tomorrow we will begin new content and it will be graded based on the criteria that Dr. Ackell sent out earlier this week: 

Highly Engaged: means a student is actively participating by attending sessions, completing work/tasks, and is proactively communicating with the teacher and classmates. 

Engaged: means a student is meeting minimum expectations and/or is partially engaged, attends some learning sessions, and completes some work/tasks. 

Not Yet Engaged: means a student is not engaged in the learning process, does not attend learning sessions, and does not complete tasks/work.  
Hope all is well... just a few things...


1. New assignments have been posted! These have a due date and we are now asking if you can either submit their work right on google or take a picture and email it to me.  

2. Starting next week, we will be presenting one new skill per week. We will continue that through May and school will end as scheduled. There will be assignments on the new material, as well as, some review.

3. Office hours are through Google Meet on Tuesday and Thursday 1-3 pm. We are using this time for questions or showing us your completed work...or just for your kids to say hi to us and each other!!😊😊






Look for the new review activities and assignments that will be posted tomorrow 4/9/20.
