Please read all the information below to get the latest scoop on our daily activities and lessons!
If you have not had a chance to register your child for my classroom, please use the following link to meet with me on a daily basis: https://discord.gg/cByfWxr.
Students will only need to be logged into our Discord classroom during these times:
Math - 9:00 - 9:20
Language - 12:00 - 1:00 (we may not be chatting during the entire period, so you can log on only when you have a question)
UOI - 2:15 - 3:00 (we may not be chatting during the entire period, so you can log on only when you have a question)
Here is the schedule for the day:
Students are expected to think of our discord classroom the same way they would about our regular classroom. It is not set up to be a chatroom, but I do encourage students to use it to work together and ask each other question when doing daily activities. Students are expected to be logged out of our discord classroom by 3:00 pm everyday (dismissal), but if you need me I will be available on Discord until 5:00 pm for any extra questions that you might have. After 5 pm I will be logged out of our discord classroom, but I will check my email periodically until 6:30 pm for any urgent questions.
We will have more access to one another, but it is important that we all take a break from our devices to spend time on our hobbies, or time with our family members. COVID-19 has caused a great deal of uncertainty for us, and may continue to do so, but a positive that we can take from this is more time spent with the ones that we love!
