Digital Learning Plan
Plan |
Materials were provided in paper copy on Friday, March 13th to compensate the lack of printing ability that any students may have at home. The links for all of the materials will be provided for those that were absent and those that may misplace any of it. With the return date unknown, we will do our best to provide instruction through the blog. This first week will be as planned due to it being review for the test that was planned for 3/30/20. We will keep you posted as we reschedule assessments. We are trying to limit the material for this time to review and End of Course test review so as to not expect students to fully grasp new material while we are out of class. Again, all of this is depends on how long we are out. Keep in contact and do your best, we are all in this together.

Expectations |
Our expectations for this time is that students work to do the best that they can during this time. Everyone's situation is different at this time and that is why if you are struggling you need to reach out to your teacher. We expect you to complete the work assigned by the end of the week it is given. This will allow you to work around any issues that come up. Homework will be assigned daily and at the end of the week the answer keys will be posted so your work can be checked. The work will be turned in upon your return. We were planning on submitting work electronically but worry that may put too much stress on families that do not need anymore added stress during this time. Do your work, check to make sure you did it correctly and turn it in when school opens back up. I will begin posting videos as we get into our End of Course test review.
Remember if you are not able to print out the material, just work the problems out on a piece of paper and title it with that day. Do your best and we will do whatever we can to help. |
Grading |
As of now, bring all of the work that you complete with you to school when we return. It will be graded accordingly. The work will be completely in the homework category so it will not drastically affect your grade. This is being done so that you can take care of whatever your family needs first.
|
Stay involved.
The idea of this blog is to keep everyone in the loop about what is going on in the class as well as what to expect in the near future. This is my first attempt at a class website / blog so please be understanding and if there are any suggestions, feel free to offer them.
