First of all....
At this point it feels surreal that I may or may not be able to stand in front of you and teach for the rest of the school year. This is difficult for me because I know the importance of a hands on experience, being in the classroom, and having a set schedule. I encourage you to set your own schedule. Set aside time for each classroom.
Remember the goals we have been setting? It is more important now than ever to keep moving towards your goals. Keep those goals updated and continue to help them evolve. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to guide you in the right direction.
Second...
I'm going to need to you to keep an open line of communication with me. Some of you will be able to use the online resources, others will not. Some of you will be able to use half the resources but still need some printed resources. These are things I need to know so I know what to leave in the tray for you and your guardians to pick up from the school. PLEASE COMMUNICATE.

Teams Tutorial
The classroom weebly website is where the learning materials can be found but "Teams" will allow everyone to turn in homework material and access files in one spot. It also allows me to grade your material on the spot (even from my phone) and we don't risk materials being forgotten or not reliably coming through, such as in LiveGrades, which has not been working properly over the last week. Currently, I'm receiving materials from 4 different software platforms. At some point, if I haven't already, I'm going to lose your work and I don't want that to happen. "Teams" will help us streamline your graded work. Teams also allows video chats if we need to chat in "person".

STEP 6: Let me know that you made it this far but leaving a comment in the conversation area. This step will be worth 5 bonus points.

I will have a record of the conversation and will not hesitate to turn it in to the appropriate administration.
