I hope everyone had a good first week of on-line distance learning.
Here's some updates from all of our Team teachers - Huberty, Accomando & Towe.
Math - from Ms. Huberty
We will be starting Chapter 9 on Monday. Everything they need will be in Google Classroom.
ELA - from Mr. Accomando
Hello from Mr. Accomando's English Language Arts!
The first week back our classes used Flipgrid and Google Classroom to reconnect with each other and share good times. The more students who contribute, the more fun is had by all. It was good to see many of the students and they enjoyed getting to chat with one another. The new "Zoom Office Hours" are going well, again students and families are welcome to check in to my "Zoom Office" from 8:30-12:30 every weekday. The link is on Google Classroom.
The upcoming week we will be working on Debate Topics. The 4th quarter unit will focus on persuasive and argumentative writing. We left off before break doing "Flash Debates", which can be a fun activity at home. A 4th quarter ELA syllabus will be posted next week. I am currently brainstorming ways of using "Flipgrid" to host virtual debates, which I know the students will enjoy. Remember that reading at home and keeping a personal journal, while not an assignment, is a great way to stay fresh.
Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or concerns.
All the Best- Mr. Accomando
Science - Mon/Tues - from Mr. Towe
Students will be starting Earth's Changing Climate unit on Monday. I will be assigning Lesson 1.2 for the week of April 13. I will post the assignment in Google Class with tutorial videos for each activity. Students will have Mon-Tues to work on the lesson, and Friday work day if they have not finished.
Social Studies - Wed/Thurs - from Mr. Towe
Students will be starting Chapter Chapter 23 - The Han Dynasty. Students have a new login which we've been testing out this week. Most students have confirmed their login, but if they have not already done so there is a tutorial in Google Classroom on April 7-10 daily post.
I'll be assigning Sections 1-4 for Wed & Thursday this week.
I'll be posting the assignments with Tutorial videos in Google Classroom on Wednesday.

We are all trying to figure out this new way of working. Be patient with us as we navigate through the hurdles. If you or your student are having any challenges with assignments, technology, emotional support or any other needs please let us know and we will do everything we can to solve the problem and support you and your students.
All of our team teachers have daily office hours from 8:30-12:30. Parents or students can email, or zoom with teachers during that time. Any emails received after 3:30 pm will likely not be returned until the following work day.
