Here's some updates from all of our Team teachers - Huberty, Accomando & Towe.
Math - from Ms. Huberty
This week we will be starting Chapter 2 in the new CPM book covering positive and negative integers.
ELA - from Mr. Accomando
Hello from Mr. Accomando's ELA.
We had some fantastic virtual debate presentations and while it is not the same as in person debates, many students produced interesting and inspiring topics. We are currently working on Research Projects. These projects are designed to help students learn how to find ideas they are interested in and delve deeper into those topics. Students have the option of selecting their own topics and will be guiding their research by the questions they ask. Students know I love questions. The Research Projects will be the final project of the year. Students are encouraged to use all of the writing styles we have covered this year in their final product. I know I will be learning more from each and every one of them!
Science - Mon/Tues - from Mr. Towe
Lesson 2.3: Learning More About Past Climate Changes Assignments will be posted in Google Class on Tuesday with tutorial videos for each activity. Students will have Tues-Wednesday to work on the lesson, and Friday work day if they have not finished. I will grade work on Monday and Tuesday of the following week.
Social Studies - Wed/Thurs - from Mr. Towe
This week we'll be completing Chapter 26 -Section 4 & 5, learning about Tyranny, when a popular leader takes control of the government, and finally Democracy, where all citizens share power.

Distance Learning Expectations - Students are expected to be checking school email, and Google classrooms FOR ALL OF THEIR CLASSES daily (Mon-Fri). This is how they get updates about classwork and assignments. All teachers have daily "office hours" when they are available to help students over Zoom, email or phone.
Attendance - attendance will be taken each Friday by EACH Teacher. Students are expected to make contact with EACH teacher in order to not be marked absent for the week. Contact may include- emails, Flipgrids, Zooms, phone or text, or completion of assigned work. If a student doesn't make contact with a teacher they may be marked absent. Please make sure your students are in contact with their Core subject teachers (Huberty, Accomando, Towe) and their UA teachers every week.
Reminder about Distance Learning
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.
