Hello families! It was wonderful seeing most of you at HOA for the teacher meet and greet yesterday! I’m so sorry there was such a long wait. Thank you for your patience and enduring the warm weather. For those of you who were unable to attend yesterday, please join me tomorrow from 1:00-2:00 or 6:00-7:00 in a Google Meets, the meeting code will be . I’m looking forward to meeting the rest of you! Courses will be live on Sunday. Please plan to start courses in Canvas on Monday, September 13.
NEW NEWS
Google Meets Code/Nickname - For all Google Meets, will be our code/nickname. With your student signed into Google with their HSD student account, open a Google Meets tab, and enter into the code/nickname field.
PLEASE NOTE THIS CHANGE- LIVE GUIDED LESSONS WILL BE PRE-RECORDED (for now) - Numbers are up! There are ninety-one fifth graders, as of today. Since we have not yet hired more teachers, I will be pre-recording the student orientation and posting the recording in our Canvas Homeroom. (The student orientations were going to be on Monday at 9:00 and 11:00.) This way, you can watch it with your student as many times as you want, and during a time that is most convenient for you. In addition, I will also be pre-recording the Guided Lessons and posting them on the Homepage of Math and LA in Canvas until we have additional 5th grade teachers. Once we are able to bring more teachers up to speed, and bring the class sizes down, we will start doing the Guided Lessons live.
Because we will not be doing the Guided Lessons live for now, please have your student watch the video of the lesson on the home page, then I will be hanging out in a Google Meets (code:) that students can pop into if they have questions or need help for that assignment during that time period. Again, watching the Guided Lesson is completely optional, and if students do not need that level of support, they can go straight to the lesson. In addition, I’ll be in a Google Meets on Monday from 9:00-11:00 so students (and families) can pop in for tech support.
