Thank you everyone for your hard work last week. While this is not ideal, I think you all are doing a great job. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have ideas for improvement on my end.
This week we are going to focus on effective email communication. You have two articles to read and a reflection for each. Then you will be asked to send me draft emails of three different email type situations (casual, formal, and professional). Only one email is required this week, the other two will be next week. Reflections will be done via Google forms (links in the weekly plan and at the end of this blog post). Articles are linked in the weekly plan and will also be at the end of this blog post. Emails can just be sent to me via email. Thanks for all your hard work. Please let me know if you have any questions. Article 1 Reflection 1 Article 2 Reflection 2

Welcome to our first week of Phase II!!! Below you will find a picture of the plan for the week. Each day should have something in either the instruction or activity section (or sometimes both). On this website there will be an accompanying blog post for the week which will then also included any resources for each day. I will be posting the week's goals and resources by Monday morning at the latest for the entire week. You should only work on the given assignments on the given days though. This will prevent you from spending too much time on school work and will encourage you to take breaks and create a new schedule and pattern for yourself. This is a marathon not a sprint people :) If you've got questions, please email me ([email protected]) I will respond to you as quickly as I can.
Hello all,
I hope you are all finding some comfort in at least knowing that we now have an answer as to if we're going back to in-person class or not. I know for me personally this is not the way I was hoping to finish out the year, but actually having a decision on not going back at least gives me a direction to go with this and allows me to take steps forward. Next week is "Spring Break" although I know it will feel much the same as these last few weeks have felt. Know though that during Spring Break I will not be posting as we should all be taking a break from this new normal, and trying to recharge our batteries in preparation for starting Phase II of the distance learning plan from the District. Monday April 20th will be our first day of Phase II and the first time I will be providing assignments to you virtually. I am currently working on a plan for that first week back. My goal is to have each week planned by Sunday night (at the latest) and sent out to you via Skyward Monday morning at the latest. I will send out a plan for the week which will include links to learning and activities or will state where you can find such things on the website. I'm going to be hold "office hours" via email once a week on Tuesdays from 1pm to 2pm, at this time I should be very quickly responding to any questions you might have via email. I will also be checking and responding to emails throughout the week of course, my office hours are just a dedicated time for me to very quickly be responding to questions. I plan on using this page, the "Future Ready COVID-19 Shutdown" blog as the primary location for much of our class activities. If you are having any difficulties accessing this information or anything, please let me know as soon as possible. These are difficult and strange times and we are all learning how to navigate this new normal. This week, I wanted to provide you with some suggestions for things to do safely in the Stay at Home order which has been extended to May 4th. Click on the below link to an article from England that gives a lot of different suggestions for things you can do safely at home. Pick one or two suggestions to try out this week and next week during Spring Break. Take advantage of this time to learn new things and maybe practice old talents. Stay safe and healthy all! |
